Thank you. I was actually intending to do that myself under my promise to do all the important work, but I'm very stupid and I didn't consider the possibility of a sysop-protected main page. I apologize for getting ahead of myself.

Also worth note: main page interlanguage links can just be in the format [[de:]] rather than [[de:The Binding of Isaac Wiki]]. This only applies to Main Pages, because if you go to de.bindingofisaac.wikia.com and don't specify an article it defaults to the Main Page. A lot of wikis specify the page and a lot of wikis don't, so feel free to do as you wish.

Thank you for putting up with me! ^_^

I left out Japanese, Swedish, and Chinese because they were tiny, but yes, both Spanish wikis are borderline so I won't argue with you on that, and will omit it also from the linking.

It would be a lot of work to add links to every page, but realistically the most important page to link is the Main Page and everything else is just icing on the cake, so there's no obligation to do those. And every wiki does indeed have a unique structure, yes. However, there are always simple links that could be made: example, Brain matches pretty darn well with w:c:pl.bindingofisaac:Brain, so if you ever happen to be editing Brain, it wouldn't hurt to add a [[pl:Brain]] link if you liked. :)

Since we both agree (I wanted your approval too, Nightmare) I sent in the request at Community Central, you can see it here. The list format is for use with a recursive linking script CC admins developed. It should be taken care of very soon.

A word about work.

A certain user of this wiki told me that he thought it would be too much work to do this. I promise you that I will gladly take care of all the important work and nothing, absolutely nothing will be lost.

I will not significantly add interlanguage links to individual pages, which would for example link Brain directly to its Polish equivalent. I don't have the time to do that for every wiki I help. You will have the option of working on that yourself. There is no obligation to: if you don't, nothing will be lost and nothing bad will happen, but individual pages just won't be interlanguage linked. So really there's nothing to lose, you have my word.

Foreign language Binding of Isaac wikis

Hello, I did a search and found the following foreign-language Binding of Isaac wikis. I'd like to recommend interlanguage linking them to your wiki.

The wikis

This Russian wiki is currently correctly linked to this wiki. There's also a few straggler Russian wikis which I list for completion: they cannot be linked to this wiki without unlinking the large wiki. User:Elecbullet/Interlanguage

Unlinked wikis

Note, only one wiki from each language can be linked. My suggestion is highlighted. User:Elecbullet/Interlanguage User:Elecbullet/Interlanguage User:Elecbullet/Interlanguage User:Elecbullet/Interlanguage

Tiny wikis

You can ignore these; they're too small. User:Elecbullet/Interlanguage User:Elecbullet/Interlanguage User:Elecbullet/Interlanguage

What Do?

As the administrator of my own w:c:wolfenstein, I'd strongly advise you to have the four highlighted, unlinked wikis interlanguage linked to this wiki, the Russian wiki, and to each other. This will pretty much make them the official foreign-language versions of this wiki. It'll also enable you to place interlanguage links on every page, which adds a small link at the bottom of the page, in the Languages section (or the left, in Monobook). For an example, check out my Wolfenstein Wiki which is linked to 7 others.

You can do this yourself at Community Central, or you can give me permission to go ahead and take care of it myself. I do this for a lot of wikis so I guarantee I won't screw up. :] As said, I'd like to add German, French, Polish, and Spanish to the interwiki network, but if you'd prefer anything different that's cool by me.
