Forum:Multilingual portal for Wikia.com

Would Wikia be amenable to creating a multilingual point of entry page? (like http://www.wikipedia.org)

Currently, there's
 * http://en.wikia.com
 * http://fr.wikia.com
 * http://es.wikia.com
 * etc

but there's not really a selector, since "www.wikia.com" and "en.wikia.com" are identical. I'd like to suggest that Wikia create say http://mul.wikia.com ("mul" because that's the language code that uses for multilingual) that looks like the Wikipedia multilingual entry point, so that people can go to the adverts/wikis list/central of their preferred language. It would need to be linked to that Wikia bar at the top of everything, where our usernames appear (the bar with "entertainment" "lifestyle" "video games")

 * ForestMonthZero, I genuinely think this is a good idea but I don't believe its in the cards at the moment. Honestly, we've poured a lot of time and effort into our corporate home page in recent months because that was an area that needed lots of improvement. We're beginning to look at and plan strategy for our language specific hubs - fr.wikia, es.wikia, de.wikia., etc., etc.) - to get them up to snuff in the coming weeks and month. As such, I don't think it's ideal to try to build a multi-language portal at this time with so much in flux. --daNASCAT 15:58, May 22, 2012 (UTC)


 * If Wikia's going to buff up the language specific hubs, it would be good to be able to find them (hence a multilingual portal at some location) . Just buffing them up, but being unable to find them isn't going to improve traffic to them. So, I hope it would be in the cards. ForestMonthZero 06:23, May 26, 2012 (UTC)
