AGES:Languages

Purpose

This page is the language policy for the AGES wiki (*AGES to the COSMOS*). It explains how we publish content in **English** and **Spanish**, with **French** and **Italian** planned later.

We use **one wiki per language** (separate site per language), not subpages like `Page/es`. URLs and article titles stay in the language of that site.

Language	Site	Example policy page
English	ages.wiki	AGES:Languages (this page)
Spanish	es.ages.wiki	AGES:Idiomas
French	*(planned)*	—
Italian	*(planned)*	—

Two kinds of pages

Normal article

A single page in the language of that wiki. No cross-language URL suffix.

Linked across wikis

When the same topic exists in English and Spanish, editors add an **interlanguage link** at the top or in the article, for example on English:

[[es:Título en español]]

and on Spanish:

[[en:English title]]

That populates the language sidebar (like Wikipedia). Titles may differ (`Character` vs `Personaje`).

What to publish when

English-first (general lore)

Write on ages.wiki. Add `` when a Spanish article exists on es.ages.wiki.

Spanish-first (comic)

Write on es.ages.wiki with Spanish titles. Add `en:…` when an English article exists.

Stubs

Publish on the wiki that matches the language you are writing in. Link the other language when ready.

Reader experience

• If only one language has an article, readers see that wiki only.
• If both exist, the language control shows the other site.
• There is no requirement that every English page have Spanish (or vice versa).

For editors

1. Pick the correct site (ages.wiki vs es.ages.wiki) before creating a page.
2. Use localized titles on each wiki.
3. Link paired articles with interwiki (`` / `en:…`).
4. Meta/policy pages live in the AGES: namespace on each wiki.
