=== Prepare the Community pages ===

Each Wikimedia project has a place where users go to talk about things. In the English Wikipedia, for example, this is the [[en:Wikipedia:Village pump|Village pump]]. The French Wikipedia has [[fr:Wikipédia:Le Bistro|Le Bistro]]. Please choose a name for athe community page and then create the page.

You will need a page where writers and editors can write their name and ___location. One idea is to use the page of [[en:Wikipedia:Wikipedians]] as a base and translate it in your language.

Line 94:

* [[wikt:orthography|Orthographic]] practices - if there is more than one way to spell or write your language, you will need rules about it.

* Stylistic conventions - if your language does not have a standardized universal form (the way everybody writes it to understand each other), you will need to have one or have a rule to tell people which forms or dialects of your language to use. Also, you will need more complex stylistic conventions. For examples in many languages, see the page [[Language guides]].

* [[en:Wikipedia:Naming conventions|namingNaming conventions]]

=== Add a style guide and resources for writers ===

Line 106:

=== Have cooperation between the Wikipedia in your language and other Wikipedias ===

We think that you should join some of the [[en:Wikipedia:Mailinglists|mailing lists]] so that you will know what happensis happening. The mailing lists are also good resources you can use to growlearn from the things that happenare tohappening on other Wikipedias.

Please make a local [[Wikimedia Embassy]] for multilingual cooperation. (make yourself a page so that we can talk to you more easily, and write a name for a contact)
