Description Quim Gil 2014-01-17 06:15:44 UTC
The Babel template includes a link to 

Category:Babel_-_Users_by_language

However, such category is empty -- click the link at the bottom of the Babel box at http://espiral.org/wiki/User:QuimGil

A category page with links to the main category of each language would be expected instead.

For what is worth I can see a couple of diferences between my stock installation and what meta.wikimedia.org and mediawiki.org have:

* these sites point both to https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Users_by_language 

* their user language categories have the format "User xx" while in my installation the categories are created with the format "Xx".

In case it helps, https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/InitialiseSettings.php.txt contains Wikimedia's Babel extension configuration.

Thank you, that explains the "User xx" vs "Xx" difference.

I still wonder whether, according to the current Babel implementation, an equivalent to https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Users_by_language should have been created by the extension automatically or if it is expected that the site admins do this manually.
