Create page

New page

This wiki, like many others, has a system for finding people who know a certain language.
To participate, an editor (or anyone with an account) only has to insert [[Template:Babel|a userbox]] on their personal page.
Detailed instructions are on that documentation page.

To find speakers of some language, look for its language code&dagger; among [[:Category:Users_by_language|the categories here]],
then look in the <code>-N</code>, <code>-4</code>, and <code>-3</code> subcategories. Those will be fluent speakers.
(Specifically, <code>N</code> and <code>4</code> indicate native or as-native fluency, and <code>3</code> indicates proficient / advanced fluency.)
You can then contact those user(s) directly:
* For anything related to this wiki, edit their User talk page ([[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Talk_pages|learn how]]), or ping them in the [[Discord]] channel if they've given their Discord username.
* For unrelated questions, you could use any contact info they've given, or use the "Email this user" feature (which is a shortcut for [[Special:EmailUser|this]]).
* Please only contact a couple people at a time!
