Requests for new languages/Wikipedia Tver Karelian

submitted	verification	final decision

	This proposal has been rejected. This decision was taken by the language committee in accordance with the Language proposal policy based on the discussion on this page. A committee member provided the following comment: No valid ISO 639 code. If you think that the language is distinct from the language whose codes are krl and olo, please try to obtain a separate code from ISO 639, and post a new a request.

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	krl (SIL, Glottolog)	A valid ISO 639-1 or 639-3 language code, like "fr", "de", "nso", ...
Language name	Tver Karelian	Language name in English
Language name	Karielan kieli	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	Q747153 - item has currently the following values: English label: Karelian Proper native label (P1705): instance of (P31)/subclass of (P279): supradialect / Karelian Wikimedia language code (P424): writing system (P282): Latin script, Karelian alphabet number of speakers, writers, or signers (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.
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	krl.wikipedia.org	langcode.wikiproject.org

Settings
Project name	Wikipedija	"Wikipedia" in your language
Project namespace	{{{ns_project}}}	usually the same as the project name
Project talk namespace	{{{ns_project_talk}}}	"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		"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

All the Karelian dialects are very different from each other, tough the Tver dialect belongs to the group of Karelian proper. The Tver is very different from the Viena dialect (Which is the main dialect what the Karelian Wikipedia is in), i can speak some Tver Karelian and can contribute to the wiki. Tver Karelian has about 3600 native speakers and a few hundred non native speakers.": --Lammõz (talk) 18:27, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

We have a Karelian Wikipedia. If you think that Tver Karelian is distinct enough to be its own language, then get a ISO 639-3 code from SIL, or at least try and get a rejection.--Prosfilaes (talk) 06:45, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Prosfilaes: What we currently have is Livvi-Karelian, not Standard Karelian, but as Requests for new languages/Wikipedia Karelian 2 exists and verified as eligible, I thought that if we can merge this page to that page or not. --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 22:16, 20 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support it's a good idea. --Erokhin (talk) 04:18, 25 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Erokhin Good idea for a duplicated project? lol Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 22:56, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
So, Incubator has got:

Proper Karelian, which supposedly contains Tver Karelian as a dialect (recognized in Russia, not in Finland) https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:PrefixIndex/Wp/krl/

Livvik Karelian: https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:PrefixIndex/Wp/liv/

Ludik Karelian: https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:PrefixIndex/Wp/lud/

One more dialect/language would be fine. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tengwartas (talk) 2021-10-31 21:09 (UTC)

@Tengwartas: Livvi-Karelian isn't what incubator:Wp/liv is for, a Wikipedia in that language already exists: olo.wikipedia.org. incubator:Wp/liv is for Livonian, both are different things. One more dialect/language would be fine yes, providing that they have different language codes.--Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 00:23, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Articles in Tver Karelian are best written in the Karelian Wikipedia. Mark it with a template, like some wikipedias that work in multiple dialects, like frr: or als:. --Danvintius Bookix (talk) 08:30, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
