Are there any other Wikipedias that also have reference desks?
Are there any other Wikipedias (as in, the French Wikipedia, German Wikipedia, Italian Wikipedia, Spanish Wikipedia, Russian Wikipedia, Polish Wikipedia, Swedish Wikipedia, et cetera) that also have reference desks similar to these ones on the English Wikipedia? If so, which Wikipedias? Also, where there these other reference desks located? Futurist110 (talk) 01:13, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
 * At the German Wikipedia, we have a single one at de:WP:Auskunft, plus a just a few very specialised sites like de:Portal:Auto und Motorrad/Typenbestimmung and de:Wikipedia:Redaktion Biologie/Bestimmung. Cheers ✦  hugarheimur 01:40, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks! BTW, is that the only other Wikipedia that you are familiar with? Futurist110 (talk) 02:43, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
 * There are lots of links at https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3907025 ... -- AnonMoos (talk) 03:22, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
 * What exactly is the "rue" Wikipedia? It's not the Russian one since the Russian one is "ru". Thus, which Wikipedia is "rue"? Futurist110 (talk) 06:13, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
 * It's the Rusyn language Wikipedia. You can find Wikipedia language codes at List of Wikipedias, and background information at ISO 639.- gadfium 08:31, 5 May 2019 (UTC)

 * French has the fr:Wikipédia:Oracle, as well as fr:Projet:Langues/Café des linguistes for language questions. Adam Bishop (talk) 11:49, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
 * fr:Projet:Langues/Café des linguistes is a project talk page, not a reference desk. Apokrif (talk) 18:24, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Just go to WP:RD and look at the sidebar under 'Languages'. They are all listed there. --Viennese Waltz 13:13, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
 * An existing interlanguage link doesn't tell the whole story, though. I just glanced at the Esperanto, Palatian and Welsh desks (all listed there), and they've been idle for years. ---Sluzzelin talk  13:24, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
 * IIRC a few years ago, there was a link to a Russian desk. Except when I looked into it, there didn't seem to be any. I think there was one even further back but it got deleted and the page now redirected to their help desk equivalent. I removed the link to the Russian "RD" at the time, and it looks like it's still gone. Nil Einne (talk) 05:44, 6 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Oh dear, it looks like I was responsible for having that link added. ---Sluzzelin talk  22:13, 6 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Opportunity for a  Great Escape quote here I think :) ——  SerialNumber  54129  16:52, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
