Wikia - creating communities

Wikia supports wikis in any language. More than 100 languages have an internationalized interface. Any wiki admin can complete the translations on their wiki.

When you create a wiki or create an account, you can specify the language of your choice using the drop down menu. You can change your language choice using your preferences.

[edit] Wiki creation

If you create a wiki in a new language, it will be at a subdomain that matches other wikis on the same topic. For example, the World of Warcraft wiki has a version at en.wow.wikia.com and a Norwegian version at no.wow.wikia.com. Please contact Wikia to change the assigned URL. For example, a French cycling wiki could choose to be at cyclisme.wikia.com instead of fr.cycling.wikia.com. To change a wiki's language after you have created it, please contact Wikia.

[edit] Central Wikia

The Central Wikia exists in a few different languages. If there is no central Wikia in your language, you can start a new one or add pages to the English Central Wikia. This Central Wikia aims to bring together all of the Wikia communities, so is used as a meeting point for all wikis in all languages.

[edit] Interlanguage links

You can use interlanguage links to link between pages of different language editions of a wiki. These appear in an "other languages" section in the sidebar. Interlanguage links need to be set up by staff before they can be used, so please contact Wikia if you want to be able to link between two or more language versions of a wiki.

[edit] Mailing lists

Mailing lists are available on request. The content of the lists can be any language. The GNU Mailman interface supports the languages listed at list.org/i18n.html.
