Template:New wiki request/doc
This is a documentation subpage for Template:New wiki request. It contains usage information, categories, and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Usage edit
This template is used on requests for new wikis, to give information about the language and the subdomain settings. Use this:
{{new wiki request | status = open | comment = <!-- leave this to language committee members --> | language_code = fr | language_code3 = fra | language_English = French | language_native = français | language_Wikidata= Q150 | new_language = yes/no <!-- usually yes if it's a Wikipedia, otherwise usually no --> | directionality = LTR <!--LTR = "left to right"; "RTL" for right-to-left scripts.--> | project_English = Wikipedia | project_native = Wikipédia | ns_project = | ns_project_talk = | enable_upload = yes/no/admin | logo = File:... | timezone = Continent/City | add_namespaces = | add_settings = | category = <!-- used for wikisource and wikiversity --> }}
Additional notes
- "new_language" is whether it is a completely new language for Wikimedia (i.e. there is not yet a project in this language), usually when creating a new Wikipedia.
- "language_native" is actually only needed when "new_language" is "yes"
Optional:
- "url" to override the default site URL
- "interfacelang" if it is different from the subdomain
- A link to Phabricator (with the settings pre-filled) is added when the status is set to approved
- For Wikisource and Wikiversity, use "category" and maybe also "main_page"
- Optional parameters "community" and "links" for converting old proposals
Some simple words or short sentences are translatable on Template:New wiki request/translation.
