@Amire80, I just spent five minutes(!) looking for a link to the Japanese Wikipedia. Why? Well, there are about 200 links for that page, and "Japanese" is alphabetized between Dutch and Norwegian, which is not even close to where I expected to find it.

So: thanks for making CLL, and, while I'm still leaving it turned off at enwiki, the next time I need to do this, I'm jumping to one of the other wikis where I've left it enabled, so I can find strangely alphabetized links with the CLL search feature instead.

Thanks :)


You probably figured it out already, but it's probably there because its own name is pronounced Nihongo, so it makes some sense that it's between Nederlands and Norsk, but this assumes knowledge of Japanese. The search box allows you to search for Japanese in any language: "Japanese", "японська", "יפנית", "日本語", etc. And also "ja" for people who are into language codes.
