  • Select language code. You should check it in Wikipedia or somewhere else.
  • NB: add MediaWiki:Lang/lng page with the language code. For example, if your language has "zz" code, you are to create MediaWiki:Lang/zz with zz as contents.
  • Add this code into Template:Languages as it is done for existing languages.
  • Update all templates in i18n Category by adding corresponding strings for your language.
  • Update Localization/* templates. Be careful when you change Localization/PluginCard template, you have to select correct term for category for articles in your language.
  • Add translated strings to all disambiged articles.

Naming Collisions

It is possible that two different languages have pages with the same name. For example English "News" is translated "Novinky" both into Czech and Slovak. To resolve collision you need to make existing page disambiged and create separate pages for each language.

Example: Page Novinky is a disambiged page leading to pages Novinky (Český) and Novinky (Slovenčina).
