Here, there was a mass removal of all blue box pages. But how am I supposed to find the other languages for my wiki easily? C Teng(talk) 22:09, April 19, 2010 (UTC)

Either use Special:Newwikis or Google.--Sxerks 22:28, April 19, 2010 (UTC)
So, I can't look for wikis that aren't new? Blue box pages really helped for that. C Teng(talk) 23:48, April 22, 2010 (UTC)
The Special:Newwikis lists all wikis, the new ones are on the first page. You can also search by name an language.--Sxerks 23:55, April 22, 2010 (UTC)
Okay, but if I search "runescape", stuff like "RuneScape Clans" and "rune-scape" shows up, instead of the standard runescape.wikia.com prefix. C Teng(talk) 00:36, April 24, 2010 (UTC)

That's how it works, I'm afraid. It'll show wikis containing a match for the term "RuneScape" in the wiki's name. The runescape.wikia.com may be seen more often at the bottom of the list when searching for "RuneScape". The original runescape.wikia.com is the very last entry.

So why are blue box pages gone? They weren't "obsolete". It's kind of impossible to update our links for "Other languages" now. I suggest that Wikia creates a new special page for other languages for a certain wiki, if it's not difficult to do. C Teng(talk) 00:54, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
It can already do that. ;) There is an option at Special:Newwikis to choose to generate a list of wikis belonging to a specific language. Here's an example. The 888th Avatar (talk) 01:03, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
Well, I mean like, for all the wikis with "runescape" as its prefix (not "rune-scape" or "runescapeclans" or anything), there will be a special page on that particular wiki for a list of every other language for it. C Teng(talk) 01:25, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
