Items edit

This is the WikiProject which must ensure that all articles on the languages of the world are created and have at least the main interwiki links (English, German, French, Spanish), and optionally in Dutch, Italian, Russian, Polish, and Portuguese.

Update: Now the interwiki import is automated with a script which one may want to install, see here for the details.

The list of languages is being taken from en:List of languages by name.
