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.
"Wikinews 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.

@К. П.1: Sorry if I missed this page for more than 1 year, but I think saying "thank you very much" isn't helpful, if Russian Wikinews is already acting what the proposed "Tatar Wikinews" is, then creating tt.wikinews.org is weird and I suggest to migrate the test project back to ruwikinews. But if there has benefit to separately launch a tt.wikinews, then these ruwikinews pages in Tatar should consider migrating to the tt.wikinews, and after that, delete on ruwikinews. --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 04:33, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Liuxinyu970226: Thanks for the question. I wouldn't request Tatar Wikinews at the moment, though would love seing this materialize. Most Tatar Wiki-volunteers concentrate own's efforts on Wikipedia, some self-exiled to Wikidata, so piggy-backing on Russian Wikinews' friendly offering seems most effective for the time being. Writing a Russian version first is easy, especially when the team helps with making it neutral and newsy, so post-translated Tatar copy is a much better read. --Frhdkazan (talk) 20:37, 29 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
