- 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 | ta (SIL, Glottolog) | A valid ISO 639-1 or 639-3 language code, like "fr", "de", "nso", ... |
Language name | Tamil | Language name in English |
Language name | தமிழ் | 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 | Q5885 - 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)? |
Site URL | ta.wikivoyage.org | langcode.wikiproject.org |
Settings | ||
---|---|---|
Project name | விக்கிப்பயணம் | "Wikivoyage" in your language |
Project namespace | விக்கிப்பயணம் | usually the same as the project name |
Project talk namespace | விக்கிப்பயணப் பேச்சு | "Wikivoyage talk" (the discussion namespace of the project namespace) |
Enable uploads | yes | 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-ta.png | This needs to be an SVG image (instructions for logo creation). |
Default project timezone | UTC | "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 | Additional user groups: rollbackers, patrollers, autopatrollers (both groups should be adding and removing by sysops) | Anything else that should be set |
ProposalEdit
Tamil is one of the most spoken languages in the world. It is to be noted that the usage of tamil is increasing in the internet. So, Wikivoyage can be started in tamil version. An active Tamil community is involved in wikimedia projects. So, starting a test wiki will help. Please consider this request. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by தமிழ்க்குரிசில் (talk)
