Requests for new languages/Wikiversity Chinese
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: Project is approved. Congratulations! Please see comments at Beta Wikiversity on a couple of items to help facilitate creation of the new wiki.

- The community needs to develop an active test project; it must remain active until approval (automated statistics). 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 | zh (SIL, Glottolog) | A valid ISO 639-1 or 639-3 language code, like "fr", "de", "nso", ... |
Language name | Chinese | Language name in English |
Language name | 中文 | 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 | Q7850 - item has currently the following values:
|
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 | no indication | Is the language written from left to right (LTR) or from right to left (RTL)? |
Site URL | zh.wikiversity.org | langcode.wikiproject.org |
Settings | ||
---|---|---|
Project name | 維基學院 | "Wikiversity" in your language |
Project namespace | Wikiversity | usually the same as the project name |
Project talk namespace | Wikiversity talk | "Wikiversity 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:Wikiversity-logo-zh.svg | This needs to be an SVG image (instructions for logo creation). |
Default project timezone | UTC | "Continent/City", e.g. "Europe/Brussels" or "America/Mexico City" (see list of valid timezones) |
Additional namespaces | Portal, School, Topic | 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
中文維基用户一直對 Wikiversity 計劃有興趣,尤其容納「原創研究」(original research)一點。近月在 betawikiversity: 之討論再興,而計劃的中文名(維基學院)已定[1],亦有新教材出現。
中文維基社羣有必要開設維基學院。他們有熱心,愛學習。大多數中文維基人活躍於維基百科;然而,維基百科之模式(不許原創,每題目只許單一而觀點中立之條目)未必適合他們所有學習活動。欲從特定而已宣示之觀點探討一些課題 - 維基學院正係合適之場所。中文維基學院應主動與各項維基媒體計劃交流,互相豐富,正如計劃書所述。
这里有些統計資料。
中文維基學院計劃蘊釀已久,現在是再進一步的時候。

Discussion
Chinese is a major language with many internet users. There has been on-going interests amongst wikimedians in the Wikiversity project in the Chinese community. The potential of "original research", which is prohibited in wikipedia and many other projects, is particularly well-received. Recently we have seen a revival of activities, and the project name has been determined [2], and new learning resources have been written.
The Chinese Wikimedia community is very much in need of a wikiversity. They are a bunch of enthusiastic individuals, eager to learn. Most of them work on the Chinese wikipedia; however, the wikipedia model (no original research and a single article with a neutral point of view on every topic) may not be ideal for some of their learning activities. Some may wish to explore issues and problems from certain (disclosed) viewpoints - Wikiversity is a natural home for them. A Chinese wikiversity should dynamically interact with the other Chinese projects (especially Chinese wikipedia, which has the largest community) and enrich each other, as stated in the wikiversity project proposal.
Here we can find some useful statistics.
The Chinese wikiversity project has taken time to mature, and it is time it springs to life.

beta上实际内容还是太少了一点,应当再观察一段时间--Shizhao 08:52, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
- 同意,但放在beta也是沒有人願意活躍的原因之一。—『Skjackey tse』 11:57, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
- 确如书生所说,内容实在有些单薄。我个人也觉得即便脱离beta,可能也不会有太大的效果。不过我也不反对就是了,不过脱离Beta时至少需要把繁简的问题一并解决了。--Demigod 11:55, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
- 基本上有人願意參與的計畫就支持,不過現在成立任何新計畫都需要一個持續活躍的beta版才可能通過,就看大家的努力了!--Ffaarr 02:29, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

- 当然至少现阶段没人反对吧。--Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 00:23, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
- 还有各位需要教育计划(Extension:Education Program)扩展么?感觉这跟学院的工作密切相关。--Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 08:42, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
- About the content, things like this need to be cleaned up or deleted altogether. hiàn 01:55, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
Localisation update
- Currently 100.00% of the MediaWiki core messages and 63.39% of the messages of the extensions used by the WMF have been localised for zh-Hans. Localisation of these messages is a requirement before your request is finally assessed. Thanks, GerardM 10:09, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
- How about zh-hant? -- 202.40.137.201 05:32, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
- Given that the Chinese use a conversion engine, it includes all the scripts et al they convert to. GerardM 08:08, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
- Currently 99.15% core and 55.52% extension used on WMF are translated for zh-Hant. As the conversion engine does not apply on the MediaWiki messages. Shinjiman 13:35, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
- MW core is already done.-Waihorace 08:40, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
- Currently, 100.00% of MediaWiki core, 100.00% of the messages used by the Wikimedia Foundation have been localised to zh-Hans. Hydriz 15:09, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
- MW core and most used MW messages has done. Also, zh-hans translation for extension is done and some messages for zh-hant is on going. Am I right?--Waihorace 04:05, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

- zh-hans is verified to have finished MW core and Extensions used by Wikimedia. For zh-hant, translations are still on-going. Hydriz 13:04, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
- I have done the translation for WM main extension in zh-hant. It seems to be all translation is done[3][4]. Can anyone confirm it and can it be submit to Language Committee?--Waihorace 14:48, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
