Requests for new languages/Wikipedia Doteli

submitted	verification	final decision

	This proposal has been approved. The Board of Trustees and language committee have deemed that there is sufficient grounds and community to create the new language project. A committee member provided the following comment: See bug T161529. --MF-W 16:20, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

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.
The community needs to complete required MediaWiki interface translations in that language (about localization, translatewiki, check completion).
The community needs to discuss and complete the settings table below:

What	Value	Example / Explanation

Proposal
Language code	dty (SIL, Glottolog)	A valid ISO 639-1 or 639-3 language code, like "fr", "de", "nso", ...
Language name	Doteli	Language name in English
Language name	डोटेली	Language name in your language. This will appear in the language list on Special:Preferences, in the interwiki sidebar on other wikis, ...
Language Wikidata item	Q18415595 - item has currently the following values: English label: Doteli native label (P1705): डोटेली instance of (P31)/subclass of (P279): natural language, modern language / Nepali Wikimedia language code (P424): dty writing system (P282): Devanagari number of speakers, writers, or signers (P1098): 790,000	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.
Directionality	no indication	Is the language written from left to right (LTR) or from right to left (RTL)?
Links		Links to previous requests, or references to external websites or documents.
Site URL	dty.wikipedia.org	langcode.wikiproject.org

Settings
Project name	विकिपीडिया	"Wikipedia" in your language
Project namespace	विकिपीडिया	usually the same as the project name
Project talk namespace	विकिपीडिया_वार्ता	"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.
Optional settings
Project logo		This needs to be an SVG image (instructions for logo creation).
Default project timezone	Asia/Kathmandu	"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
Once settings are finalized, a committee member will submit a Phabricator task requesting creation of the wiki. (This will include everything automatically, except the additional namespaces/settings.) After the task is created, it should be linked to in a comment under "final decision" above.

Proposal

Doteli is an Indo-Aryan language. It is spoken in Nepal. This is one of the major languages of Nepal. There is a very broad range of people who speak this language. Mostly people from western part of Nepal speak this language. It has 2.5 million native speakers as of 2000, of which 1.8 million were in Nepal.Biplab Anand (Talk to me) 08:49, 14 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What could be doubtful? Native speakers are there, all most-used core messages have been translated, many articles and the activity is not bad. Support. --Ghiutun 17:07, 20 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
