Request for a new language edition: Wikipedia Kari Seediq

​ 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: Approved on 2021-03-02. phabricator:T276246 --MF-W 17:46, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

• 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	trv (SIL, Glottolog)	A valid ISO 639-1 or 639-3 language code, like "fr", "de", "nso", ...
Language name	Seediq	Language name in English
Language name	Kari Seediq	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	Q716686 - item has currently the following values: English label: Seediq native label (P1705): Kari Seediq instance of (P31)/subclass of (P279): language, modern language / Atayalic Wikimedia language code (P424): trv writing system (P282): Latin script number of speakers, writers, or signers (P1098): 20,000	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	LTR	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	trv.wikipedia.org	langcode.wikiproject.org

Settings
Project name	Wikipidiya	"Wikipedia" in your language
Project namespace	Wikipidiya	usually the same as the project name
Project talk namespace	Pprngagun Wikipidiya	"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/Taipei	"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 (includes everything automatically, except additional namespaces/settings)

Discussion

• Support We should have Wikipedias for the Taiwanese aborigines. --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 09:02, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
• Comment There is some activity, not as large as it was, but there is. Localisation is not complete. Content pages are almost unformatted stubs, but unlike other incubators, there are definitions (and not just a single word). Would be good if more native or near native proficiency editors come here to express their interest in creating this Wikipedia, as such could substantially help the process. --Zerabat (discusión) 13:26, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

  Just note that approval is considering per [1]. --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 12:21, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

Dear contributors, as the language committee intends to approve the creation of Kari Seediq Wikipedia, please check and complete the wiki settings as indicated at the top of the page (like "Project talk" namespace name or the logo). I'm pinging the current highest contributors User:廖家琪, User:HuwacBasaw1234, User:Miquy, User:TapasWalis999, but please discuss the settings in the whole community on Incubator, if necessary. Since this is the first project in Kari Seediq language, we also need the translations of all namespace names:

 Media: 
 Special
 Talk
 User
 User_talk
 $1_talk [= Project talk, e.g. Wikipedia talk]
 File
 File_talk
 MediaWiki
 MediaWiki_talk
 Template
 Template_talk
 Help
 Help_talk
 Category 
 Category_talk

 Help_talk        =>Pprngagun dmayaw
 Category         =>Snakun
 Category_talk    =>Snakun pprngagun

Thanks User:Vickylin77amis. So should the "Wikipedia talk" namespace be called "Mpprngaw Wikipidiya"? Also, would it be appropriate to write "Meyti Wiki" as MeytiWiki in analogy to the en:camelcase in english MediaWiki? --MF-W 11:42, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

Fixed, thx. --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 11:04, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

Why are you changing Vickylin's comments? Also, do you know trv and can also answer the questions? --MF-W 17:48, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

@MF-W, thanks for your suggestion. Our community would like to change the translation of $1_talk(Pprngagun $1, Wikipedia talk > Pprngagun Wikipidiya) and MediaWiki(MeytiWiki). Thank you very much!! Vickylin77amis (talk) 02:34, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

Thank you. I have made the request to our developers to create the new wiki at phabricator:T276246. --MF-W 17:46, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

Thank you Vickylin77amis. Just one clarification: Are you sure the "S" should be capital in "Pprngagun Snluan qcinuh", or is that an oversight? Jon Harald Søby (talk) 12:19, 4 March 2021 (UTC)

Jon Harald Søby, that is an oversight. It should be “s”. Thanks for your reminder. Vickylin77amis (talk) 12:52, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

@Vickylin77amis: Thank you very much! Jon Harald Søby (talk) 12:54, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
