Portal?
Should we kick off some kind of portal for all the international welcoming pages over at this location? I think one might be useful, as there have been times and there will be times when we need to link to a non-language specific welcoming page - when describing things that apply to all translations or when recommending the article to a person whose language we don't know, for example.
There is already a need for it, and that link really speaks for itself for why we do need this kind of a thing. I've started a prototype over here. Anyone agree/disagree? --Sysrq868 22:27, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
- I think this is probably a good idea — I'd like to hash out exactly what should go on this page — for example, the title suggests that this is a welcome page for the wiki in general, whereas it's actually a portal only for the welcome pages in other languages.
- Related to this is the whole question of whether or not there should be an English welcome page equivalent... it seems like there should be something located at HRWiki:Welcome/en, but the international welcome pages are very much translation- and subtitle-centric, so pasting User:Trey56/HRWiki:Welcome/LANGUAGE_CODE there isn't really appropriate. And HRWiki:About and HRWiki:Introduction already serve the purpose of a general welcome to the wiki for English-speaking users.
- So, here are my initial thoughts — create this page as something like the welcome portal you suggested, but also provide a small bit of wording in it about a welcome to the wiki in general and directing newcomers to HRWiki:About and HRWiki:Introduction. And perhaps HRWiki:Welcome/en should be made into a redirect to HRWiki:About or something like that...
