Add Albanian Wikipedia to the bottom of English Wikipedia page - section 50.000+ articled
Hi Wikipedia!

Please can you add Albanian Wikipedia page link to the languages with more than 50.000 articles which is found on the bottom of English Wikipedia page. Since this Wikipedia language has more than 50.000 articles and we are unhappy that our language isn't listed there for going faster to that encyclopedia.

 * To be clear, it's not any Wikipedia with > 50K articles - spammy Wikipedias are excluded so as to avoid a perverse incentive. That said, Albanian Wikipedia seems to have a reasonable depth according to the chart, and I saw more than just constant geographical stubs when I clicked random article a few times (a sign of "bad" wikis), so I'd support this addition.

 * "Shqip" should properly be added between "Norsk nynorsk" and "Slovenčina"; this is also the same order used in the project-wide sidebar. —  RAVEN PVFF   · talk · 22:16, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

Bengali Wikipedia should be add to the 50,000+ articles section
Bengali Wikipedia has 117,218 articles right now. It has a depth of 300 that indicates sufficient quality. -- Sajid  Reza   Karim  10:30, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
 * for at least 1 week. I've advertised this at main page talk.  We've never really come up with a perfect rule for what qualifies for inclusion here.  The numbers at meta:List_of_Wikipedias seem OK, with Bengali Wikipedia being 67'th in number of articles; and 3rd in the depth ranking for 100,000-->999,999 article projects.  —  xaosflux  Talk 18:39, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Personally, I don't care all that much—language switching is currently being revamped by the WP:Desktop Improvements Team, and in the new version it'll be done through a dropdown menu rather than our current template, so this won't matter. &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 04:38, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't see how that would prevent us from deciding which sister projects to advertise on our Main Page? — xaosflux  Talk 14:37, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Once there's a prominent language switcher, I think this template will feel redundant. &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 17:25, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
 * ✅ without objection above. — xaosflux  Talk 14:57, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

Upper/lower-case b for Norsk bokmål
This template currently uses an upper-case B, resulting in the language being called Norsk Bokmål. Meanwhile the list of languages in the sidebar uses a lower-case b. For the other Norwegian written language, nynorsk, this template uses a lower-case n. On this basis i suggest changing the upper-case B to a lower-case b in this template.

Add Irish language (ga) Wikipedia
Hi fellow admins,

Over on the Irish Wikipedia, we're almost 60,000 articles now. These are human created and we don't have auto-import bots, so this is quite a milestone for us!

Our language is called "Irish" (not "Gaelic") in English, or "Gaeilge" in our native tongue. Míle buíoch - A l is o n  talk 04:50, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Greetings A l is o n . Can you kindly consider adding Georgian as well? Regards, An emperor ✖ 02:56, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Can you possibly put up a similar request, as I've done, then wait for feedback? I waited a month before being WP:BOLD and just doing it - A l is o n  talk 20:31, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

Add Western Frisian (fy) Wikipedia
Hello users and admins.

I have a request that the Western Frisian Wikipedia should be added to this list. The wiki has about 50,884 pages so far as the time of writing. In fact, the wiki has just gotten over 50,000 pages recently. It would be a great pleasure to have it on the list, because it will help Wikipedia readers get to the wiki quicker. Plus, it has a good enough article depth to be considered (greater than 30). Thank you for reading. RocketPlaysCPI (talk) 15:38, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

Change the text "Norsk Bokmål" to "Norsk bokmål" for consistency with "Norsk nynorsk" and Norwegian capitalization. This is also mentioned in the thread "Upper/lower-case b for Norsk bokmål" from 2021 on this talk page. EdoAug (talk) 14:35, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

 * ❌ (needs further discussion) - please discuss below and if a consensus emerges reactivate the edit request. Please see the archives, apparently hiwiki inclusion has been contentious previously - this may no longer be so. — xaosflux  Talk 15:30, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I looked into archive and main issue stated was that too many short articles on Hiwiki(in my search proportion of large article was more than small ones (even smaller ones were able to cover a desktop page)). After that I went to other languages (Korean, Bengali) wiki, there too I found small articles. If we don't represent languages how on earth will people write in those languages. Here we are talking about 400 Million native speakers. Writers of Hiwiki be given recognition they deserve for 158k article. Ankraj giri (talk) 20:38, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I likewise see no reason this shouldn't be done. * Pppery * it has begun... 22:30, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm not familiar with the standards for inclusion here, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. I see the regulars around here used to pull 50 article samples and report on whether they were stubs or not. I looked at 20 random hiwki articles and
 * 1 was a full article
 * 6 were stubs
 * 13 were ultra-stubs
 * I'm not sure how that stacks up against whatever our current criteria are, but it seems bad. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 01:31, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
