Hello all, The Balinese Wikipedia already has more than 2.200 articles. However, it does not appear yet in the list of our main page of wikipedia itself with more than 1,000 articles. Could you please add it? I'm not clear on which team is in charge of the wikipedia.org portal. Thanks in advance. The discussion also already talked in:

But later I've realized that index.html is added to the .gitignore file 😅
So I went through the remaining files(codes)
In the code, java script functions(controller.js and other) were written so that a language appears automatically on the main page based on the data. But the data(ie the .json files) of these two languages isn't there in the l10 folder and cannot be added manually.
I didn't understand from where the data is generated. 😅
Is there any other approach to solve this task?
Hi, @Aklapper @Jdrewniak
I've added those 2 languages manually in index.html

Hmm, I assume ban and szy need to be added to https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Module:Project_portal/wikis , but hard to say as I cannot find docs either on https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Project_portals how to add a site to a portal.

hi @Sriv26
yeah this is complicated.
The data for these portals actually comes from this page:
https://pagecounts.toolforge.org/pagecounts.json
There is some documentation about how the process works here:
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/wikimedia/portals/+/refs/heads/master/data/
Looking at the pagecounts.json page though, I can see that both banwiki and szywiki do exist, so this is likely an error with the data processing somewhere in that data folder.
I can try to poke around that code to see what the issue is (as I'm probably the only person who understands how it works) but it hasn't been touched in at least 5 years so something could be broken.

@Jdrewniak: Should that be documented / linked on https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Project_portals so folks could be enabled to contribute patches? TIA.

- Nias wikipedia (nia)
- Northern Sotho (nso)

- Tarantino wikipedia (roa-tara)
- Western Armenian (hyw)

Almost every language mentioned here is not present in l10n folder. Is this an issue related to the bot used to push strings from translatewiki or do we need to add these languages to the meta?

ban Wikipedia is listed on https://www.wikipedia.org/ as of today. szy and othes are still not. Does WMF still maintain Wikimedia-Portals?

@Aklapper "maintain" might be to strong a word, perhaps "benignly neglect" would be more precise.

This sounds much like the outcome of T319138: The portal page generator should not silently ignore existing wikis with no l10n file.

Yup @Tacsipacsi this too can be resolved thanks to your work on T319138, thanks again!
