Language subcommittee (Status of the Bengali Wikiquote)

This page tracks the status of the Bengali (বাংলা) Wikiquote request. It is unofficial, and does not necessarily predict subcommittee decisions. This page was last updated 08 September 2008; you can request an update on Talk:Language subcommittee.

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 (bn).

  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 four active, not-grayed-out editors contributing meaningfully over multiple months.

  complete required MediaWiki interface translations in that language (about localization):

  most-used MediaWiki messages (list untranslated);

  all MediaWiki messages (list untranslated);

  all extensions used by Wikimedia Foundation wikis (list untranslated).
