Wikipedia talk:Vital articles/Level/1/Archive 4

Language
Honestly, I think it should be one of the first articles on this list. Communication is an incredibly important topic. Maths and philosophy aren't near as important for mine. What do others think?  J947  † edits 01:48, 18 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm with you in that I'd take language over philosophy, but even adding your !vote to the last discussion would not have changed the result. Cobblet (talk) 03:56, 18 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm neutral on a Level 1 change, but I wonder if communication wouldn't fit the role better, being a bit broader than language. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 03:11, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

I think Language or Communication are both good replacements for Society, but not Philosophy. LightProof1995 (talk) 01:16, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

Should be cascadingly protected
These are extremely important articles and should be cascadingly protected like the main page: -The arts -Earth -Human -Human history -Life -Mathematics -Philosophy -Science -Society -Technology 222.152.99.203 (talk) 01:05, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Thus making them unable to be improved. Great work! &#126;~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 16:05, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

Spanish translation
Hi,

I would love for this project to be available to Spanish speakers.

Sadly, there is no option to translate the page. I don’t know if this limitation is related to the extended protection it enjoys.

If there’s any way around this, I would love to contribute to the translation. AnFerMa (talk) 08:24, 8 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Yes, there is an EC restriction on translations (however, if you are (auto)confirmed, I think you can translate but you can't keep the translation anywhere else than draft space). Unfortunately, while I do know a bit of Spanish and could help translate, this is something that would have to be discussed with eswiki, and probably can't just be translated.  thetechie@enwiki  :  ~/talk/  $  00:47, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

 * @AnFerMa, I'm not sure translating this page would be a good idea. Information should ideally be recorded in a centralized manner — translating the vital articles list into multiple languages would make it exponentially harder to keep organized, as the lists would immediately start going out of sync.
 * There is List of articles every Wikipedia should have, which is a language-independent list to the extent that it's hosted on Meta, so maybe use that? Even that should probably be merged with the Vital Articles list (or vice versa), as the idea behind it is basically the same, and this list aims (at least in theory) to avoid giving any preference to English language topics.

 * Good point, I forgot to add those things in my reply. Thanks @Sdkb!  thetechie@enwiki  :  ~/talk/  $  14:21, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
