==Adding interwiki links==
Hi people,

There seems to be no Village Pump for the LFN Wikipedia yet. All the same, I have something to say I think the community should know. Since yesterday, it has been possible to link pages on the LFN Wikipedia to Wikidata items. Please don't forget to link your new articles, and also those already in existence, to their relevant articles. That way, interwiki links will be shown in the margin, '''and''' links to the lfn wiki will show up in the margin on other Wikipedias. If you're not sure how to do this, please ask me.

:Hi there! In fact, the link is already there, although the page itself it still empty: [[Vicipedia:Conversa comunial]]. Steinbach is right, a page like this is absolutely indispensable. It is needed for any discussion between members of the editor community that do not pertain to one specific article. The English village pump is perhaps not the best example, but you may want to have a look at these counterparts in [[eo:Vikipedio:Diskutejo|Esperanto]], [[ia:Wikipedia:Taverna|Interlingua]], [[io:Wikipedio:Generala debato|Ido]], [[ie:Wikipedia:Li Trincatoria|Occidental]] and [[nov:Wikipedia:Li komun chambre|Novial]].

== Templates ==

And here's one more suggestion. At the moment, the Main Page contains two templates, [[:Model:Article xef]] and [[:Model:Imaje xef]], for a featured article and a featured image respectively. That is excellent! However, this is a small user community and changing them on a regular base is not going to work on the long term (just consider that the Article of the Week on the [[:vo:|Volapük]] Wikipedia hasn't been updated in over ten years now!). Therefore I would suggest to automatize the process. What you can do, for example, is select the best 31 articles of this Wikipedia, save the text you want to display on the Main Page on a page called <tt><nowiki>[[Model:Article xef/26]]</nowiki></tt>, and replace the link on the Main Page by <tt><nowiki>{{Article xef/{{CURRENTDAY2}}}}</nowiki></tt>. The result would be that every day of the month a different article is shown on the Main Page. This is precisely what I have done on the front page of [[:nov:|Novial Wikipedia]].

Of course, days of the month is just one possibility. Alternatively, you can also use weekdays (7), months (12), weeks in a year (53), etc.

The same goes also for the Featured Image, of course. One thing to consider here is this: do you just want a nice picture? In that case, there is wonderful stuff to be found on Commons (for example [[:commons:Commons:Featured_pictures|here]]). Or do you want a picture that relates and links to a related article?

I think it is a great idea which I also thought about but I don't have a clue of how to do it.
