• 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	gem (SIL, Ethnologue)	A valid ISO 639-1 or 639-3 language code, like "fr", "de", "nso", ...
Language name	Proto-Germanic	Language name in English
Language name	WeHtiz Razdō	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	Q669623 - item has currently the following values: en label = Proto-Germanic native label (P1705) = instance/subclass (P31/P279) = proto-language / Germanic languages Wikimedia language code (P424) = writing system (P282) = Elder Futhark number of speakers (P1098) =	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.
Community	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.
Links		Links to previous requests, or references to external websites or documents.
Site URL	gem.wikipedia.org	langcode.wikiproject.org

Settings
Project name	Wikipedijaz	"Wikipedia" in your language
Project namespace		usually the same as the project name
Project talk namespace		"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	File:...	135x135 PNG derivative from a decent SVG image (instructions)
Default project timezone	Continent/City	"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"
Additional settings		Anything else that should be set
submit phabricator task (includes everything automatically, except additional namespaces/settings)

Proposal

This should be a Wikipedia for it gives Germanic Linguists a place to compare Germanic Languages and others. --HorseSnack (talk) 14:21, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

Discussion

• Oppose: there is not speakers of "proto-germanic", and Wikipedia is not a place to make researchs on linguistics. --Zerabat (discusión) 15:08, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
