Forum:SH:Biblioteka Ossus

Our Polish counterpart, Biblioteka Ossus has been down for at least a couple of months now. About a month ago, MJ removed them from the interlang template. Earlier, as I was going through the CSD category, Ossus was listed due to being unverified for over seven days. However, I've always considered our interlanguage sister wikis to be sort of an "exempt" of our notability policies, and this is a practice I agree with. Considering the recent and ongoing outage, however, I think we need to reconsider Ossus' status as our official Polish language counterpart. There's a Wikia version of Wookieepedia, Empirepedia, which seems to be rather abandoned, though. I can't find any way to contact the Ossus admins for a status update on the site, and navigating to their URL gives a 401 error.

As a side note, I've temporarily removed the delete tag from Ossus' article, replacing it with a holdon.

As I see it, we have two options:
 * Replace Ossus links with pl.starwars.wikia.com links
 * Wait for Ossus to eventually come back online

As for the issue of articles on interlanguage counterparts, we either need to exempt them from our NFP policy, decide what constitutes sufficient notability for an interlanguage wiki, or TC them like we would do to "normal" articles not meeting NFP.
