General

Articles in the English language Wiki with non-English words in the title and/or body text should include the language code from the list below in parentheses as the last seven characters of the title, like this: "Wiki Article Title (it-IT)". Not only is this important so that the reader quickly knows what language the article is in when searching, but it also is necessary to avoid a bug where the non-English article "steals" the ability to have an English article with a similar name. We are not adding language codes to the titles of articles in the Portuguese, Russian, and Chinese versions of the Wiki, because the language of all articles in those Wiki's will be clear. 

NOTE: Please do not include "(en-US)" in the title of English articles. See Wiki Governance: Whether or Not "(en-US)" Should be Added to the Title of English Articles.

Also, you need to include the code as a tag at the bottom of the article. For example, the tag for an Italian article in the English language Wiki would be "it-IT". This is so that we can click the tag and see all the articles in that language (click the links below to see). Because readers can filter by multiple tags, this allows them to see only the articles in a tag list that are in a specific language and on a specific topic. Not only is this practice convenient for the people who read that language, but it is also necessary for when we migrate the files to a language-specific Wiki version.

Some of the codes below are linked to the tag pages that list out all the articles that use that tag (in other words, click the language code to see all the articles in that language):
