Spanish Wiki
I'm not sure about including the link for the Spanish wiki, or any alternate language wiki/site on the MH Wiki. Non-English links cannot be verified for content at all by most of the editors, and it is never a good idea to add a link to something we are unable to read. I'd like some discussion on this to see everyone's opinions on this. In the meantime it can stay. -- Grexx 10:30, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
- I'm gonna disagree. I doubt anyone here has taken the time to independently verify every page on every English-language site linked from this page, either. It's easy enough to use Google Translate (or similar) to at least skim non-English sites to make sure their intention is good. Links to garbage don't belong regardless of language, but just because "we" don't speak [insert language here] doesn't mean we can't provide a link to related sites in said language.
