Forum:CT Archive/New Polish sister site

Wookieepedia &gt; Consensus track &gt; 

This has been discussed a little over at the Official Friends of Wookieepedia/Nominations page, and I think we should make this change, so I'm bringing it up for CT (mainly for a little more publicity).

Currently if you go our our Polish language link, you are directed to Empirepedia. I am suggesting we change this to be directed to Biblioteka Ossus.

Change to Biblioteka Ossus

 * Ossus has many more articles. Right now, looks to me that Ossus has 1647 articles compared to Empirepedia's 237.
 * Ossus is much more active than Empirepedia. According to thier respective Recent Changes pages (Ossus; Empirepedia), there's no comparison.
 * Empirepedia is hosted by Wikia, which IMO is one reason to stick with Empirepedia.

These are the main points I see in the discussion. What do you think? WhiteBoy 19:39, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
 * If we switch over, our Polish colleagues should be warned that when Jedipedia changed servers, it took several weeks to get the interlanguage links pointed in the right direction: and that was just a change in servers, not a change in wikis. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 19:56, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Why couldn't we just have two Polish sister sites? Havac 20:12, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Agree with Havac. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Audience Chamber ) 01:30, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Per Havac. &mdash;Mir  len  01:38, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Why would we do that? Would we have to English Wookieepedia's?  WhiteBoy 09:28, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
 * We could have BO as Polish choice one and EP as Polish choice 2. I don't see the need to drop one affiliate just because we have another. English is different because this is the originator Wiki and the primary site. The others are simply places we point to and say, "If you want it in this language, you can go here."

 * If someone could explain to me why the two communities aren't working together, that would be helpful. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 22:12, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, I don't technically see why sister sites of the same language have to be limited to a certain number: one. However, Silly Dan has a good point.  Why not have the two communities merge? &mdash;Mir  len  23:05, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
