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. StevenJ81 (talk) 18:47, 14 June 2019 (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:

Settings
Project name Wikizziunario "Wiktionary" in your language
Project namespace Wikizziunario usually the same as the project name
Project talk namespace Wikizziunario Discussione "Wiktionary 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 America/Recife "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.

  • Strong support.--GatoSelvadego (talk) 14:15, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. An extra point is that now in nap.wikisource.org we have enough critical mass to give input, reference, and usage examples.--C.R. (talk) 23:13, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Support This Wiktionary in Neapolitan language would be very useful for a lot of Neapolitan speakers (and others interested persons worldwide). --Sarvaturi (talk) 16:15, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Strong support. As follower of the Holy Bible, I am extremely in favour of Wiktionary Neapolitan, until because I created entries with books of the Bible in Neapolitan in Wikimedia Incubator and too languages in Neapolitan. Already what everybody is in favour of Wiktionary Neapolitan, you can create this Wiktionary, because already reached 390 entries.
