This language has been verified as eligible. The language is eligible for a project, which means that the subdomain can be created once there is an active community and a localized interface, as described in the language proposal policy. You can discuss the creation of this language project on this page.
Once the criteria are met, the language committee can proceed with the approval and will verify the test project content with a reliable neutral source, such as a professor or expert.
If you think the criteria are met, but the project is still waiting for approval, feel free to notify the committee and ask them to consider its approval.
A committee member provided the following comment:
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.
"Wikipedia 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.
Aklanon is a language of the Philippines spoken by around 500,000 speakers worldwide. It is the primary language of the province of Aklan on the island of Panay in the Western Visayas--23prootie 10:09, 30 October 2011 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Support - Aklanon is distinct from the other languages of Western Visayas (e.g., Hiligaynon and Kinaray-a) and deserves a Wikipedia of its own. I would however suggest that native speakers be recruited for this project so as to avoid the fate that happened to the proposals for the other languages of Western Visayas namely Hiligaynon, Kinaray-a and Capiznon. Wikipedias for these three languages have been proposed but they have not been created because either the interface has not been completely translated or the initial contributors became inactive. --Harvzsf (talk) 05:59, 22 March 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Are there any native speakers involved her? 23prootie, you say here you're an Aklanon native speaker, but on your profile it says your native languages are Tagalog and English. Saimdusan (talk) 13:15, 2 June 2012 (UTC)Reply[reply]
