[OSM-talk] Wiki Translation

[Maarten Deen]

If I read the Template:Languages correctly, there is a list of 7 
languages with a dedicated namespace, a list of not more than 50 "major 
languages without dedicated namespace" and the rest.

Indonesian (id) is currently in "the rest".

Is it possible to make a list of wiki pages that have been translated 
and take the 50 most used languages to use in the template as "major 
languages without dedicated namespace"? A major language is not really 
interesting for us if there are no translations in it.

Regards,
Maarten
