This project's aim is to increase the number and quality of [[WikipediaHelp:Interlanguage links|interlanguage links]] in wikipediaWikipedia articles. Interlanguage links are links from an article in one Wikipedia language to the same subject in another Wikipedia language - for example [[:en:potato|potato]] in the English-language wikipedia and [[:fr:pomme de terre|pomme de terre]] in the French-language version.

== Stats ==

The average number of interlanguage links per page per given wikipedia language varies greatly. Far and away the 'worst' is the English-language version, partly because there are many pages in it for which no article exists in another language, but also because those for whom a variant of English is their native tongue often only speak that language.
