Languages

These are available for almost all languages Elite Dangerous Wiki is available in (with the exception of {{User en-0}} and {{User en-4}}), but listing them all here would take too much space. Just substitute the language code you want to use for "en". See Babel for a complete list.

You can combine up to 100 languages in a single box by using the affix in {{babel}}; for example:

{{babel|en-0|fr|nl-2}}

See Barnstars for more details.

WikiProject Barnstars

A WikiProject barnstar is awarded for work on a WikiProject, or work of substantial interest to those members of that WikiProject. See also Awards by WikiProject. These are some examples.

Outstanding contributions may include: recording ten good articles, recording three featured articles, or doing an incredibly good job of recording one long, complex, excellent, featured article despite all odds. Awarded by SPOKEN.

This award was introduced on June 28, 2005 by Chameleon.
