Background of Konkani request
Previously raised in T326793
The Konkani Wikipedia and Wiktionary (gomwiki and gomwiktionary) are multi-script wikis, with content in the Latin, Devanagari and Kannada scripts. As a result, on these wikis, users tend to switch the interface language more often, and therefore, it is desirable that the language settings button should be at a consistent location on every page. So please set the langauges button to appear at the top of the main page for these wikis using the configuration parameter $wgVectorLanguageInMainPageHeader. Here are the links to the posts on the local community pages:

Background of French request
Actually the language switcher is at the bottom of the Main page of the French Wikipedia, which has the Vector 2022 skin as default.
French wikipedians requested several times individually the language switcher at the top of the Main page (exemples 2022-11, 2021-07, 2021-06, 2021-06, 2021-06, etc.).
After discussion (1, 2) Wikipedia French community agrees to set up the main page heading, as described in T293470 and in FAQ.
Actually, the choice is
- to add a header in the Main page of French Wikipedia with a Welcome message in French
- ''Bienvenue sur Wikipédia'' for logged-out users (see mockup)
- ''Bienvenue User_name'' for logged-in users, where "User_name" should be replaced with the name of the user who is watching the page.
The header should also include the language button.
