That's astwiki, bswiki, cawiki, dawiki, dewiki, elwiki, eswiki, fawiki, frwiki, fowiki, glwiki, hewiki, huwiki, iswiki, itwiki, kowiki, lbwiki, mkwiki, mlwiki, nlwiki, plwiki, ptwiki, ruwiki, simplewiki, svwiki, viwiki, ukwiki, and zhwiki. See the deployments calendar: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments#Week_of_February_10th I should also note there is one issue related to several non-English Wikipedias, where some button text may cause wrapping of the GettingStarted overlay. It's https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61055. This kind of increased length of text in non-English languages is something of a perpetual problem. In addition to figuring out how to improve this one interface, I hope we can find ways to make our UI more fluid, potentially via something like setting different styles for individual languages. -- Steven Walling, Product Manager https://wikimediafoundation.org/
