Language items:

  • For linked words that indicate a nationality (Russian, Chinese, etc.), make sure that if these redirect a language, that that is what is meant everywhere they are linked.
  • Ensure standard setup on cats in Category:Articles containing non-English language text
  • Make sure any language with a "lang-xx" template is included in template {{lang}}. Also check to see if they need "Category:Articles containing xxx language text" created.
  • Try to get articles in Category:Articles containing non-English language text into subcategories. This can sometimes by done by adding codes to template {{Lang}}.
