A new page about a specific language has a predefined structure:

• Header 1: “language” in “country”
• Header 3: language designations
• Header 3: Language vitality according to
• Header 3: Linguistic aspects

Etc.

It is possible to change this structure, but please adhere to it as much as possible.

Mercator's wiki on minority languages is an online platform: people will read the texts from screen. Therefore keep the texts short and concise.

Try to accompany all statements about a language with references to written (preferably) or online publications. At the bottom of each section, there is a time stamp. If you update a section's information, please also update the section's time stamp. This can be done by clicking on in the editing toolbar.
