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, will verify the test project content with a reliable neutral source, such as a professor or expert and notify the Board of Trustees for a possible veto.
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.

Please contribute to this test project on Incubator. For LangCom: StevenJ81 (talk) 16:37, 2 April 2018 (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.

Community
R12ntechInactive:U.Steele (P), Lundgren8, Zrs 12 (P) You can optionally list your user name if you are an active contributor to the test wiki. Add "N" next to your name if you are a native speaker of this language.
"Wikipedia talk" (the discussion namespace of the project namespace)
Enable uploads
yes
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
135x135 PNG derivative from a decent SVG image (instructions)
Default project timezone
"Continent/City", e.g. "Europe/Brussels" or "America/Mexico City" (see list of valid timezones)
Additional namespaces
For example for a Wikisource which would need "Page", "Page talk", "Index", "Index talk"
Support Lakota language must have a Wikipedia project. There are a Standard spelling and an alphabet to write it. --Sarvaturi (talk) 15:54, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
I have no objection, but would like to point out that the Mi'kmaq language of Eastern Canada has far more native speakers, has finally won some level of governmental recognition, and yet no wikipedia to help keep their knowledge alive. When are they going to get one? Codex Sinaiticus 19:10, 18 January 2012 (UTC)
