Language committee (Status of the Multilingual Wikibooks)
This page tracks the status of the Multilingual (mul) Wikibooks request. It is unofficial, and does not necessarily predict committee decisions. This page was last updated 28 September 2008; you can request an update on Talk:Language committee.

Requirements

The following criteria for final approval must be met before the wiki can be created. Criteria that are crossed out with a black box have been satisfied.

  • Criteria for eligibility
    check that the project does not already exist (see list).
    obtain an ISO 639 code (mul).
    ensure the requested language is sufficiently unique that it could not exist on a more general wiki.
    ensure that there are a sufficient number of native editors of that language to merit an edition in that language. (For constructed languages, there must be sufficient recognition as determined by discussion.)
  • Criteria for final approval
    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.
    complete required MediaWiki interface translations in that language (about localization):
    most-used MediaWiki messages (list untranslated);
    all MediaWiki messages (list untranslated, optional for the first wiki in a language);
    all extensions used by Wikimedia Foundation wikis (list untranslated, optional for the first wiki in a language).
  • Approval process
    verify test project content with a reliable neutral source, such as a professor or expert.
    approval by the committee.
    notify Board of Trustees for possible veto.
    final approval.

Notes

General comment was invited on the Foundation-l mailing list, but got little response. With no apparent community interest in the project, and it being an unusual request outside the normal policy, no progress is likely to be made on its approval. —{admin} Pathoschild 18:40:03, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
