Hello Jaska, Not as "compulsory", but as helping I once started http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Ziko/Basic_Wikipedia_and_help_pages My idea was and is that it is difficult for small Wikipedias to translate or adapt all of the pages of en.WP, that there should be a short list of short pages necessary to start with. Kind regards Ziko
