Tardis:Interlanguage links

Our interlanguage link policy governs the use of interlanguage links on this wiki.

Rules
Because the use of interlanguage links is relatively straightforward, few regulations are actually needed. However the following rules shall apply:
 * 1) Interlanguage links must be placed at the very bottom of the page, below all ending navboxes. If editing in the Monobook skin, they should go even below the categories.
 * 2) Links shall be made to the correct page on the corresponding wiki. The following link is useless Eleventh Doctor because, of course, Russian uses the Cyrillic alphabet.  The proper link would therefore be Одиннадцатый Доктор
 * 3) Links can only be made to pages that currently exist. It's a kind of mild vandalism to link to an un-created page in the hopes of encouraging people to start an article.  All interlanguage links should give the readers some amount of information in a language other than English.
 * 4) As from September 2011, no links to Hebrew language wikis will be permitted. There are two competing Hebrew language Doctor Who wikis, both of which have exactly one page of content.  Until one of the two gets some sort of actual community going, this wiki cannot fairly support either.
 * 5) Interlanguage links shall not be used to connect a user to a non-DWU page — such as, but not limited to, advertisements or pornography — on another wiki.

Enforcement
Violators of the first two rules shall be instructed to come into compliance with this policy.

Those who cross rules #3 and #4 are subject to blocking on their second and subsequent known offenses. Block length shall be determined by the citing administrator, but it should not generally be necessary to block for longer than 72 hours initially.

Those who cross rule #5 are subject to an immediate blocking on the initial offense on the order of — at a minimum — six months. The blocking administrator has final discretion, and is certainly empowered to initiate an infinite block for the initial offense, depending on the nature of the page at the end of the interlanguage link.
