Dear fellow Wikimedians, Here, I very much agree with Gerard here. The ultimate goal should be to create a great offer to readers. Content relevance and content quality is key. I tried to explain that in this video: https://youtu.be/a3T5_7C_BtI?si=XuNsRBJ5gbm2V2Ja
When it comes to the ranking of Wikipedia language versions... it would be the question why we should do that anyway. If it is a reason for some to create many useless pseudo articles - that is a poor incentive. Kind regards Ziko Am Mo., 23.
