submitted verification final decision

This proposal has been approved.
The Board of Trustees and language committee have deemed that there is sufficient grounds and community to create the new language project.

A committee member provided the following comment:

  • The community needs to develop an active test project; it must remain active until approval (automated statistics). It is generally considered active if the analysis lists at least three active, not-grayed-out editors listed in the sections for the previous few months.
  • The community needs to complete required MediaWiki interface translations in that language (about localization, translatewiki, check completion).
  • The community needs to discuss and complete the settings table below:
What Value Example / Explanation
Proposal
Language code tcy (SIL, Glottolog) A valid ISO 639-1 or 639-3 language code, like "fr", "de", "nso", ...
Language name Tulu Language name in English
Language name ತುಳು Language name in your language. This will appear in the language list on Special:Preferences, in the interwiki sidebar on other wikis, ...
Language Wikidata item Q34251 - item has currently the following values:
 Item about the language at Wikidata. It would normally include the Wikimedia language code, name of the language, etc. Please complete at Wikidata if needed.
Directionality LTR Is the language written from left to right (LTR) or from right to left (RTL)?
Links Links to previous requests, or references to external websites or documents.
Site URL tcy.wikisource.org langcode.wikiproject.org

Settings
Project name ವಿಕಿಸೋರ್ಸ್ "Wikisource" in your language
Project namespace ವಿಕಿಸೋರ್ಸ್ usually the same as the project name
Project talk namespace ವಿಕಿಸೋರ್ಸ್_ಪಾತೆರ "Wikisource talk" (the discussion namespace of the project namespace)
Enable uploads no Default is "no". Preferably, files should be uploaded to Commons.
If you want, you can enable local file uploading, either by any user ("yes") or by administrators only ("admin").
Notes: (1) This setting can be changed afterwards. The setting can only be "yes" or "admin" at approval if the test creates an Exemption Doctrine Policy (EDP) first. (2) Files on Commons can be used on all Wikis. (3) Uploading fair-use images is not allowed on Commons (more info). (4) Localisation to your language may be insufficient on Commons.
Optional settings
Project logo This needs to be an SVG image (instructions for logo creation).
Default project timezone Asia/Kolkatta UTC+5:30 "Continent/City", e.g. "Europe/Brussels" or "America/Mexico City" (see list of valid timezones)
Additional namespaces "Page" = ಪುಟ

"Page talk" = ಪುಟತ_ಪಾತೆರ "Index" = ಪರಿವಿಡಿ "Index talk" = ಪರಿವಿಡಿತ_ಪಾತೆರ "Author" = ಬರೆಯಿನಾರ್ "Author talk" = ಬರೆಯಿನರೆನ_ಪಾತೆರ "Portal" = ಸಂಪುಟ "Portal talk" = ಸಂಪುಟೊದ_ಪಾತೆರ

For example, a Wikisource would need "Page", "Page talk", "Index", "Index talk", "Author", "Author talk".
Additional settings additional importsource => knwikisource Anything else that should be set
Once settings are finalized, a committee member will submit a Phabricator task requesting creation of the wiki. (This will include everything automatically, except the additional namespaces/settings.) After the task is created, it should be linked to in a comment under "final decision" above.

Proposal

edit

We would like to have a new domain of Tulu Wikisource, to add more Tulu books and text to Tulu wikisource. There are Tulu wikimedians who would like to work on Tulu Wikisource.--Kavitha G. Kana (talk) 05:19, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

  1. --  Strong support.I am supporting this request the creation of a Tulu language Wikisource. Tulu, a Dravidian language spoken by over 2 million people in Karnataka and parts of Kerala, has a rich literary and cultural heritage. The active Tulu Wikipedia and also Tulu Wiktionary in incubator demonstrate the community’s commitment to preserving and expanding Tulu linguistic resources. A Tulu Wikisource would provide a repository for Tulu texts, facilitating access, reading, and contribution to Tulu literature. This platform would be invaluable for preserving Tulu literature and making it accessible to future generations.~aanzx ✉ © 03:07, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  25. --  Strong supportMaking Tulu Wikisource available will open doors for sharing a wealth of ancient Tulu documents, including books, letters, historical texts, and literary works, with the world. With the Tulu script now part of the Unicode standard, these texts can be presented in their authentic form, creating a rich digital resource. Recently, Google's support for Tulu in its translation tools adds to this momentum, making Tulu more accessible online. These combined efforts will help preserve Tulu heritage and make it easier for people globally to explore and engage with the language.--BHARATHESHA ALASANDEMAJALU (talk) 18:15, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  26. --  Strong support Although the discussion is over and Tulu Wikisource is now live, I would like to express my full support for the project, even at this late stage. JyotiPN (talk) 16:42, 30 November 2024 (UTC)JyotiPN[reply]
