Finnish Wikipedia already exists. Particular language varieties could be considered. --Millosh (talk) 07:58, 29 January 2017 (UTC)Reply[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.
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
NA
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.
Suomen puhekieli (Finnish Spoken Language) voi olla todella erilaista kuin suomen kirjakieli (Finnish literary language). Kuin kokonaan eri kieli.
Finnish Spoken Language can be really different from literary language. Just like they were completely different language.
Mielestäni Wikipedia pitäisi olla saatavilla myös Suomen puhekielellä, onhan se niin erilaista kuin Suomen kirjakieli. Tämä on vain oma mielipiteeni.
I think Wikipedia should be available in Finnish Spoken Language, as it's so different from Finnish literary language. --Pjoona11 (talk) 19:54, 30 June 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]
And what is the spoken language then? In Finnish language we have many dialects, so it's impossible to determine any official spoken language, as it's actually the same as the literary language. --Stryn (talk) 19:36, 3 September 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]
