Inyalo loso main page. Inyalo dhi e (main page) mar Wikipedia ma ilok e e dhok moro.=== How to edit a page ===
You need to translate How to edit a page into your language.

[edit] විකිපීඩියා සතු භාෂා ලයිස්තුවට සම්බන්ධකයක් (link) යෙදීම
Add your language to List of Wikipedias. Such lists exists in several languages, so you can go to Wikimedia Embassy for people who will help you. After you have added it to one or more Wikipedias, users of other languages will add it to theirs.
[edit] අතුරු මුහුණත පරිවර්තනය කිරීම
To translate the interface you must edit the pages in the MediaWiki namespace. These pages can only be edited by sysops. You might need someone with sysop status very soon. Add your request on Requests for permissions.
Please note that for the translation of the free encyclopedia that free in this sense means as in "not restricted", because English does not have different words for free (as in price or cost - like the French word "gratuit") and free (as in freedom or liberty - like the French word "libre"). This sometimes makes people confused. If your language has different words for the two kinds of "free", please use the one that refers to freedom or liberty.
If the language has characters that are difficult to enter on some of keyboards used by speakers of the language, you can add a box of special characters to insert using the Copyrightwarning message.
[edit] ප්‍රජා පිටු (Community Pages) සැකසීම
Each Wikimedia project has a place where users go to talk about things. In the English Wikipedia, for example, this is the Village pump. The French Wikipedia has Le Bistro. Please choose a name for a page and then create the page.
You will need a page where writers and editors can write their name and location. One idea is to use the page of en:Wikipedia:Wikipedians as a base and translate it in your language.
[edit] මූලික උපදෙස් ස්ථාපනය කිරීම
There are a few rules that all Wikimedia projects must follow:
- You cannot violate the terms of a copyright. Please make a page to warn users not to copy things from other places without asking the author.
- It is OK to distribute Wikipedia articles under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License. Please read the license and make a page to explain it.
- Authors must write from a neutral point of view (NPOV). Please make a page to explain this.
- Please make a page to explain what Wikipedia is not.
Other than these all-projects rules, each Wikipedia has created its own rules.
Some rules you might want to have right away include:
- Orthographic practices - if there is more than one way to spell or write your language, you will need rules about it.
- Stylistic conventions - if your language does not have a standardised universal form (way everybody speaks it to understand each other), you will need to have one or have a rule to tell people which forms or dialects of your language to use. Also, you will need more complex stylistic conventions (for an example, see here).
- naming conventions
[edit] Add a style guide and resources for writers
You want to have a high-quality encyclopaedia. Please write a few suggestions for writers. Are there websites in your language about how to write? Maybe you want to add a dictionary or a grammar guide here. Put in everything that could be useful for writers.
[edit] Write a few good content articles as an example for others
You might want to write a few articles for your Wikipedia to get it started, and to give an example to other possible writers. You can translate an article from a different Wikipedia, or you can write an original article.
[edit] Have cooperation between your language wikipedia and the others.
We think that you should join some of the mailing lists so that you will know what happens. The mailing lists are also good resources you can use to grow from the things that happen to other Wikipedias.
Please make a local Wikimedia Embassy for multilingual cooperation. (make yourself a page so that we can talk to you more easily, and write a name for a contact)
If you want to have a central place where you can find out what is going on in the whole Wikipedia community, go to goings-on.
[edit] ඔබගේ විකිපීඩියාව ප්‍රවර්ධනය කිරීම
Find appropriate newsgroups, forums, discussion lists, et cetera where people are interested that the Wikipedia has started in their language. Offer to write an article for a local newspaper about your work on the project, and its cultural value to society. Lecture at conferences where the topic would be appropriate. Create a small brochure or poster about Wikipedia in your language. Add a link to Wikipedia in your email signature.
Now your language is ready for the public! Try to convince your friends to join the project, and explain how the Wikipedia works. Thank you for working hard! <sp_ch>
