Discuss the creation of this language project on this page. Votes will be ignored when judging the proposal. Please provide arguments or reasons and be prepared to defend them (see the Language proposal policy).
The language committee needs to verify the language is eligible to be approved.
Check that the project does not already exist (see list).
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.
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.
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.
"Wikibooks 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.
"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
submit Phabricator task. It will include everything automatically, except additional namespaces/settings. After creating the task, add a link to the comment.
Support -- I'll certainly contribute (I'm a pretty prolific Wikibooks contributor in any case) and there's a good amount of content on the closed ie.wikibooks to bring over too. Mithridates (talk) 07:28, 14 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Support – There are a number of Interlingue speakers actively using and contributing to other Wikimedia divisions, like Wikipedia. A dedicated Wikibooks site would be useful for the community to work collaboratively on more long-form content, and it certainly seems that there are enough people to keep it active.

Support I'll be honest, I didn't know we had an ie-wbooks, if this stays around am more than happy to write some pages (probably historical short stories, I'll can put some completed work on there) Hopefully this goes well -Frzzl (talk) 15:33, 14 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Interlingue has had a period in which the language was almost dead but during the last years it has been revived, with more than ten books published in the language and a community of people learning it, creating articles on its Wikipedia and using the language everyday. Wikibooks would be a perfect place to gather new texts in Interlingue --Caro de Segeda (talk) 07:21, 14 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
