Add Albanian Wikipedia to the bottom of English Wikipedia page - section 50.000+ articled
This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= parameter to no to reactivate your request.
Hi Wikipedia!
Please can you add Albanian Wikipedia page link to the languages with more than 50.000 articles which is found on the bottom of English Wikipedia page. Since this Wikipedia language has more than 50.000 articles and we are unhappy that our language isn't listed there for going faster to that encyclopedia.
To be clear, it's not any Wikipedia with > 50K articles - spammy Wikipedias are excluded so as to avoid a perverse incentive. That said, Albanian Wikipedia seems to have a reasonable depth according to the chart, and I saw more than just constant geographical stubs when I clicked random article a few times (a sign of "bad" wikis), so I'd support this addition.

@MSGJ: "Shqip" should properly be added between "Norsk nynorsk" and "Slovenčina"; this is also the same order used in the project-wide sidebar. — RAVENPVFF·talk·22:16, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
On hold for at least 1 week. I've advertised this at main page talk. We've never really come up with a perfect rule for what qualifies for inclusion here. The numbers at meta:List_of_Wikipedias seem OK, with Bengali Wikipedia being 67'th in number of articles; and 3rd in the depth ranking for 100,000-->999,999 article projects. — xaosfluxTalk18:39, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
Personally, I don't care all that much—language switching is currently being revamped by the WP:Desktop Improvements Team, and in the new version it'll be done through a dropdown menu rather than our current template, so this won't matter. {{u|Sdkb}}talk04:38, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
This template currently uses an upper-case B, resulting in the language being called Norsk Bokmål. Meanwhile the list of languages in the sidebar uses a lower-case b. For the other Norwegian written language, nynorsk, this template uses a lower-case n. On this basis i suggest changing the upper-case B to a lower-case b in this template.

Add Armenian and Georgian languages to the other languages list on the bottom of English Wikipedia
Hi Wikipedia users and Admins!
I have a request which is to add Armenian and Georgian languages to the other languages list on the bottom of English Wikipedia since these two Wikipedia languages have more than 100K+ articles and should be finded quicker on the bottom of English Wikipedia in the other languages section.
Please note that is my desire to see these languages, the choice is of admins.
Over on the Irish Wikipedia, we're almost 60,000 articles now. These are human created and we don't have auto-import bots, so this is quite a milestone for us!

Hello users and admins.
I have a request that the Western Frisian Wikipedia should be added to this list. The wiki has about 50,884 pages so far as the time of writing. In fact, the wiki has just gotten over 50,000 pages recently. It would be a great pleasure to have it on the list, because it will help Wikipedia readers get to the wiki quicker. Plus, it has a good enough article depth to be considered (greater than 30). Thank you for reading. RocketPlaysCPI (talk) 15:38, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
Change the text "Norsk Bokmål" to "Norsk bokmål" for consistency with "Norsk nynorsk" and Norwegian capitalization. This is also mentioned in the thread "Upper/lower-case b for Norsk bokmål" from 2021 on this talk page. EdoAug (talk) 14:35, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

Hello, the Hindi Wikipedia (hiwiki) has over 158,000 content pages. Kindly consider adding it to the list of Wikipedia languages with 50,000+ pages. Thank you!
Not done (needs further discussion) - please discuss below and if a consensus emerges reactivate the edit request. Please see the archives, apparently hiwiki inclusion has been contentious previously - this may no longer be so. — xaosfluxTalk15:30, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
I looked into archive and main issue stated was that too many short articles on Hiwiki(in my search proportion of large article was more than small ones (even smaller ones were able to cover a desktop page)). After that I went to other languages (Korean, Bengali) wiki, there too I found small articles. If we don't represent languages how on earth will people write in those languages. Here we are talking about 400 Million native speakers. Writers of Hiwiki be given recognition they deserve for 158k article. Ankraj giri (talk) 20:38, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
I'm not familiar with the standards for inclusion here, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. I see the regulars around here used to pull 50 article samples and report on whether they were stubs or not. I looked at 20 random hiwki articles and

Hi, Northern Kurdish (Kurmanji) Wikipedia (ku) has more than 63,000 articles. Please add Northern Kurdish Wikipedia to the 50,000+ list. Thanks. Penaber49 (talk) 16:48, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
I believe that this is the template that is what causes the bug, but for some reason the link to Egyptian Arabic Wikipedia has a really small area that you can actually click on, just a few pixels tall as far as I can tell. In case it helps, I am using a chromebook and I am on desktop view.
PS: I also mentioned this on the main page talk page
PSS: I have brought this issue up before but nothing was done. Gaismagorm (talk) 22:24, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
I cannot reproduce this issue just eyeballing things with my own cursor on Firefox recent. What browser are you using and what version? Izno (talk) 21:57, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
Works for me in Chrome 127.0.6xxx. Please let us know: (a) your exact Chrome version. (b) Your screen resolution. Please try to open this page in an "incognito" tab and verify if you have the same symptom. — xaosfluxTalk09:59, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
My chrome version is Version 120.0.6099.315 (Official Build) (64-bit) my screen resolution 1366 by 768. Sadly my Chromebook is managed by an organisation, incognito mode is sadly not an option. Also I had someone try it in hardened Firefox on a mobile phone and they had no issues. Gaismagorm (talk) 11:54, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
Okay a friend of mine (the one who helped me figure out my chrome version and screen resolution) has volunteered to try this on a different device using chrome and matching my resolution in a virtual machine, I'll tell you the result soon.
ps: I'm not actually good with tech, someone helped me figure out the technical details of explaining this, hope that doesn't violate any issues on wikipedia. Gaismagorm (talk) 11:58, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
okay so this gonna sound really weird, but I tried it on a steamdeck. no bug there. also the friend who tried it on hardened Firefox said that polish Wikipedia was the first link, which is weird cause for me it's Egyptian arabic. BTW I'm also using the classic Wikipedia visual style. Gaismagorm (talk) 12:09, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
Okay, I'm gonna log how it works on all visual settings.
vector 2022: same as vector legacy
vector legacy: what I usually use, bug occurs and the area where you can click on the link is just at the bottom of the text and just a bit above it
minervaneue: bug occurs and the area where you can click is even smaller, to the point where it doesn't even show up at times. The area where you can click on the link also doesn't show up above the link unlike other things
monobook: same as vector legacy
timeless: absolutely no bug, link works completely fine.
ps: it will take a while for my friend to do the virtual machine
thats odd, still didn't work. oh well, doesn't matter, I don't even speak Egyptian Arabic, I just noticed the bug. Gaismagorm (talk) 16:37, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
still helps, at least on your device, seems like your user case right now "logged in users" have the problem "logged out users" do not. Correct?
nope, didn't work. Honestly I give up trying to figure this out, it's more trouble than it's worth. Also the virtual machine thing sadly wont happen, but oh well. Gaismagorm (talk) 16:44, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
Remove Egyptian Arabic. It was added earlier this year [diff], Although it has over 1.6 millions articles, 1.4 Mi was created by HitomiAkane in a bot-like way (better explained in OCLC1341182226). It even has a depth lower than Cebuano (0.46, compared to 2.18). Vinickw✉19:50, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
