Requests for new languages/Wikivoyage Nepali

submitted	verification	final decision

	This language has been verified as eligible. The language is eligible for a project, which means that the subdomain can be created once there is an active community and a localized interface, as described in the language proposal policy. You can discuss the creation of this language project on this page. Once the criteria are met, the language committee can proceed with the approval. If you think the criteria are met, but the project is still waiting for approval, feel free to notify the committee and ask them to consider its approval. A committee member provided the following comment: Please contribute to the test project. For LangCom: StevenJ81 (talk) 15:07, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The community needs to develop an active test project; it must remain active until approval (automated statistics, recent changes). 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	ne (SIL, Glottolog)	A valid ISO 639-1 or 639-3 language code, like "fr", "de", "nso", ...
Language name	Nepali	Language name in English
Language name	नेपाली	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	Q33823 - item has currently the following values: English label: Nepali native label (P1705): नेपाली instance of (P31)/subclass of (P279): natural language, macrolanguage, modern language, language variety / Indo-Aryan, Northern Indo-Aryan, Eastern Pahari Wikimedia language code (P424): ne writing system (P282): Devanagari number of speakers, writers, or signers (P1098): 15,800,000	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	ne.wikivoyage.org	langcode.wikiproject.org

Settings
Project name	विकियात्रा	"Wikivoyage" in your language
Project namespace	विकियात्रा	usually the same as the project name
Project talk namespace	विकियात्रा_वार्ता	"Wikivoyage 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	file:Wikivoyage-Logo-ne.png	This needs to be an SVG image (instructions for logo creation).
Default project timezone	Asia/kathmandu	"Continent/City", e.g. "Europe/Brussels" or "America/Mexico City" (see list of valid timezones)
Additional namespaces		For example, a Wikisource would need "Page", "Page talk", "Index", "Index talk", "Author", "Author talk".
Additional settings		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.

I would like to propose a project in Nepali wikivoyoge -Devraj poudel (talk) 15:24, 3 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose it's empty since creation. --Doostdar (talk) 13:34, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
empty? --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 01:17, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
~~Oppose~~ Not well spoken to merit its own Wikivoyage. The target audience is small, and Wikivoyage isn't really for smaller regional languages. SHB2000 (talk | contibs) 12:13, 14 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding Liuxinyu970226's concern, I can see their point. The only concern I have with small language Wikivoyages is when it comes to obsolete travel information which generally does more harm to the traveller than good. So I'm going to go neutral but if the test wiki grows even further, I will likely support. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs) 13:31, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support Many Nepal users don't understand English well, so a Wikivoyage in this language would be urgently needed. --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 03:13, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
