	~~{{Main\|Project Redcap~~:~~Languages}}~~		Multi-language support was finally enabled on 9 February 2014. :-)
	~~Project: Redcap has always been~~ a ~~multi-lingual site~~. ~~We encourage fans to write about Ars Magica in their own language~~ and to ~~use Project: Redcap as a center for~~ the ~~online Ars Magica community in their language~~. ~~Probably the most useful information~~ you ~~can write would be what Ars Magica books~~ are ~~available~~ in your language, and ~~information about~~ the [[~~Fan Community~~]] ~~that speaks your language~~.
			At that time, most of our foreign-language pages were in a sorry state. Their content was never very good, and they got horribly mangled by the automated import from the old Wiki to the new one.

			Volunteers are needed. If you are fluent in a language other than English, please go to the [[Main Page]], follow the link for your language, and edit that page until it is not a train wreck any more. :-)

	~~One of the main goals of Project: Redcap is to link to as much Ars Magica material as possible~~, ~~in any language, regardless~~ of ~~their age, specific content, or perceived quality.

	~~If you have an Ars Magica Web site of your own, or you know of one that is~~ not ~~listed~~, ~~please edit this wiki to add the link~~, ~~or [[contact]] us~~ and ~~we will add the link for you~~.

	~~Depending on~~ the ~~nature of the site you've found~~, ~~its link might best fit on any of the following~~. ~~You can add the new link in~~ more than one ~~place, if you like~~.

	=== ~~Sister Site~~ ===		=== Introductory Material ===
	~~There is another Ars Magica wiki on the Internet: it's called [http://arsmagica.wikia.com/wiki/Ars_Magica_Wiki Mythic Europe]. It started a few months before Project: Redcap became~~ a ~~wiki. The two projects are aware~~ of ~~each other and the maintainers have exchanged friendly e-mail messages.~~		Create and maintain a suite of [[Introductory Material]] to help new players and storyguides, including pages such as [[Welcome to Ars Magica]], [[Character generation]], advice on storyguiding, an overview of [[Hermetic Society]], and so on. This includes generating summaries and overviews of key issues, like [[Magus]], the tribunals, and so on.

	~~What we don't have, yet, is a good connection between our two sites. It would be very useful to add links to pages in Project: Redcap that point to the Mythic Europe. So, for example, our article on [~~[~~House Bonisagus]] might benefit from a link like this:~~

	~~"For additional information on House Bonisagus, see the~~ [~~http://arsmagica.wikia.com/wiki/House_Bonisagus article at Mythic Europe~~]."

	~~or better yet, "the Mythic Europe wiki has a [http://arsmagica.wikia.com/wiki/House_Bonisagus list of Bonisagus magi~~]."

	~~Please don't copy-and-paste text directly from the Mythic Europe wiki~~ to ~~here. We want to co-exist on a friendly basis with them, and stealing their text is not a good way to do that. Let the two wikis remain complimentary~~ and ~~separate~~, ~~even while we strengthen the times between them.~~

	~~=== Strengthen In-Depth Articles ===~~
	~~We can always use new or expanded articles on aspects of the game, like our~~ [[Welcome to Ars Magica]] ~~introduction~~, [[~~character~~ generation]], ~~and the like.~~
