== Addition to Template Request ==<br />
I recommend you add [[Windows Live Mail]] to the [[Template:Applications|Applications]] template, either in place of the Outlook Express entry or just as an addition. -[[User:CyndaquilDAC|CyndaquilDAC]] ([[User talk:CyndaquilDAC|talk]])<br />

== Image Replacement Request ==<br />
I recommend you change the placeholder image. Here's the image I recommend, since it encourages editing and contribution. [[File:NewPlaceholderIdea.png|thumb]] -[[User:CyndaquilDAC|CyndaquilDAC]] ([[User talk:CyndaquilDAC|talk]])<br />

== New languages for Betawiki ==<br />
[[Main Page]]<br />
BetaWiki is very interesting and useful, the problem is that it is only in English, there is no version of this wiki in languages other than English, the technological world needs other language versions of BetaWiki, it is very necessary. I always have to be using Google translator to see BetaWiki in Spanish (in my case, the language that I speak)<br />
{{Unsigned|2800:200:e840:313a:c10f:7193:94a2:91c8}}<br />
<br />
:The main issue with that is finding a sufficient number of bilingual people to maintain such a wiki, I believe. [[User:Cosmo|Cosmo]] ([[User talk:Cosmo|talk]]) 16:03, 4 June 2020 (UTC)<br />
<br />
::I can help outm I speak Chinese [[User:TipzTeam|TipzTeam]] ([[User talk:TipzTeam|talk]]) 05:08, 20 June 2020 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:::I agree. Nowadays many people all over the world play Windows Betas, but many countries don't mainly speak English. We need other languages of BetaWiki.<br />
:::I'm glad to see that more Chinese people are interested in Betas, especially primary school students and teenagers. In China there's only a wiki called BetaWorld Wiki written in Simplified Chinese, and it's far from perfect with lots of mistakes. As BetaWiki can be visited without VPN in China, I think a Simplified-Chinese-language version of BetaWiki is important.<br />
:::I can help with Simplified Chinese translation.[[User:GT610|GT610 &#124; Sorry for my poor English!]] ([[User talk:GT610|talk]]) 01:47, 8 August 2020 (UTC)<br />
:::First of all, I am not in Primary school, second, I am in Hong Kong, not Mainland. ([[User talk:TipzTeam|talk]]) 20:13, 19 Sep 2020 (HKT)<br />
:::I'm not aiming at you. What I said is a common appearance. It seemed that it's a misunderstanding. [[User:GT610|GT610 &#124; Sorry for my poor English!]] ([[User talk:GT610|talk]]) 01:13, 20 September 2020 (UTC)<br />
:::: I don't think this is necessary. First, most of pre-release windows builds are in English, making a certain English level a requirement for betas. Then, simply there wasn't enough users in the community that have enough translation skills (machine translation is useless since u can just use ur browser) , and the result would be an incomplete and outdated version that readers need to open the English page for recent changes and news, making it useless. The community is in English only for years and I don't think it necessary to add multilingual support. Thanks. [[User:CI611|CI611]] ([[User talk:CI611|talk]]) 15:20, 8 August 2020 (UTC)<br />

== Deletion requests #3 ==<br />
There are some user pages requested for deletion: [[User:Meow/menu]] and [[User:ToMi/Sandbox/2]] --[[User:ToMi|ToMi]] ([[User talk:ToMi|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/ToMi|contribs]]) 17:48, 3 July 2020 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==Date format==<br />
YYYY-MM-DD format isn't reader-friendly. It may still cause international confusion. Non-technical readers can confuse YYYY-MM-DD as YYYY-DD-MM. It's ugly and cannot be met by "June 27, 2020" or "27 June 2020".<br />
<br />
Example: 2012-01-04 would be taken as 1 April 2012 as Europeans might say.<br />
<br />
So, BetaWiki should write out the date in full. [[User:Yue Ling|Yue Ling]] ([[User talk:Yue Ling|talk]]) 14:06, 27 June 2020 (UTC)<br />
:We already told you on the Discord that there is no such format as YYYY-DD-MM. Anyway, I am open to discussion on this topic, for example it looks quite ugly for months, i.e. 2020-06. --<templatestyles src="User:Ryuzaki/Signature/styles.css"/>[[User:Ryuzaki|<span class="signature-ryuzaki-userpage">Ryuzaki</span>]] <span class="signature-ryuzaki-links">([[User talk:Ryuzaki|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Ryuzaki|contribs]])</span> 14:09, 27 June 2020 (UTC)<br />
:: I think we should use the "27 June 2020" format. [[User:ToMi|ToMi]] ([[User talk:ToMi|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/ToMi|contribs]]) 14:10, 27 June 2020 (UTC)<br />
:::BetaWiki should use the "27 June 2020" format anyway since not everyone on BetaWiki are from China, Hong Kong (for Chinese), Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan where the YYYY-MM-DD format is commonly used. [[User:Yue Ling|Yue Ling]] ([[User talk:Yue Ling|talk]]) 02:25, 28 June 2020 (UTC)<br />
Should we start using the "28 June 2020" format? [[User:Yue Ling|Yue Ling]] ([[User talk:Yue Ling|talk]]) 09:08, 28 June 2020 (UTC)<br />
:Yeah I think. [[User:ToMi|ToMi]] ([[User talk:ToMi|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/ToMi|contribs]]) 09:10, 28 June 2020 (UTC)<br />
::cant it just be made as an option to switch the date format? [[User:BenjiMadden7850|BenjiMadden7850]] ([[User talk:BenjiMadden7850|talk]]) 09:15, 28 June 2020 (UTC)<br />
:::Does MediaWiki support such option? [[User:Yue Ling|Yue Ling]] ([[User talk:Yue Ling|talk]]) 11:40, 28 June 2020 (UTC)<br />
::::do we have to do this in build infoboxes too? Tested it out on the infobox of [[Windows 8 build 7899]]. And all i saw was a number 9. "December 2010" didnt even appear! [[User:BenjiMadden7850|BenjiMadden7850]] ([[User talk:BenjiMadden7850|talk]]) 11:56, 28 June 2020 (UTC)<br />
:[https://xkcd.com/1179/ ISO 8601]. The international date format standard. Which is YYYY-MM-DD. Why use anything else? [[Special:Contributions/92.1.215.30|92.1.215.30]] 11:57, 28 June 2020 (UTC)<br />

:::::Not everyone are familiar with it. [[User:Yue Ling|Yue Ling]] ([[User talk:Yue Ling|talk]]) 12:01, 28 June 2020 (UTC)<br />
2020-06 looks quite ugly. Also BetaWiki is for worldwide, not only one country, so we should make it clear to everyone. [[User:Yue Ling|Yue Ling]] ([[User talk:Yue Ling|talk]]) 12:29, 28 June 2020 (UTC)<br />
:"BetaWiki is for worldwide", hence why we should use *the international standard for date format*. [[Special:Contributions/92.1.215.30|92.1.215.30]] 14:01, 28 June 2020 (UTC)<br />
