Hi Clayton,
As the "In other languages" section and the "Welcome to" section point
to the same direction I would propose to get rid of the "Welcome to"
section as soon as the problem with the links to the German pages is
resolved.
This will add to a clear layout of the page and make it easier to
maintain the page.

Last night I was tidying up the multiple language entry points on the
OOoWiki Main Page (there were 3 places on the Main Page providing
links to other languages). A few notes:
- The InterWiki Languages are set up as a Wiki Template
{{InterWiki Languages}}
which adds the predefined InterWiki Language to the "In other
languages" section on the left of the Main Page.
- Using a template like this means that the current page/language is
included in the list of available languages... so each page links to
itself (ie on the English page, you see English in the list of other
languages etc). Not a problem, just a minor cosmetic thing.
- Using a template is the only manageable way to do this. If you try
to manage this without a template it becomes an editing nightmare.
- I commented out the {{Languages}} template that was being used in
the Welcome box on the right (reduces the language links from 3 places
to 2 places).
- In the process of updating the language links I discovered that
there was a Hugarian (Magyar) Main page that was not linked in the
languages box (but was in the "Welcome to" box). It has been added to
the "In other languages section" (as Magyar)
- German is currently commented out in the InterWiki links. Many of
the German pages were created with a DE: prefix, and this breaks if we
enable the InterWiki links for German. This needs to be resolved.
Other changes:
- It might be a good idea to move the {{InterWiki Languages}}
template to a better/more descriptive name such as {{Main Page
InterWiki Languages}} so that it is clear this is used only for the
Main Page entry point to the Wiki. Any thoughts or comments on this?
