Idea1: Using a mentoring system. Sounds to me like "Jose77" sould have been the mentor (has the tecnical and the experience), but not the admin. I don't know if that idea make much sense. Idea2: Using the english wiki as a "jump-start". Add a new link "Create this article in your lang" to articles: step 1) click "Create this article in your lang" step 2) show wikis that need a article about the topic step 3) click on one of these names (maybe click in XYZ wiki) step 4) enter new title in language XYZ. step 5) new article in wiki XYZ is create with that title, you edit it. -- -- ℱin del ℳensaje. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
