Requests for new languages/Wikivoyage Indonesian

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: No doubts about the eligibility of the language; when the activity criteria are fulfilled, it can be approved.. --MF-W 13:31, 28 January 2013 (UTC) - Approved on 2024-11-25. --MF-W 11:24, 25 November 2024 (UTC) phabricator:T380726[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.
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	id (SIL, Glottolog)	A valid ISO 639-1 or 639-3 language code, like "fr", "de", "nso", ...
Language name	Indonesian	Language name in English
Language name	Bahasa Indonesia	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	Q9240 - item has currently the following values: English label: Indonesian native label (P1705): Bahasa Indonesia instance of (P31)/subclass of (P279): language, standard language, modern language, literary language / Malay Wikimedia language code (P424): id writing system (P282): Latin script number of speakers, writers, or signers (P1098): 198,996,550, 43,627,550	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	id.wikivoyage.org	langcode.wikiproject.org

Settings
Project name	Wikiwisata	"Wikivoyage" in your language
Project namespace	Wikiwisata	usually the same as the project name
Project talk namespace	Pembicaraan_Wikiwisata	"Wikivoyage 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:Wikivoyage-logo-id-new.svg	This needs to be an SVG image (instructions for logo creation).
Default project timezone	Asia/Jakarta	"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.

Indonesian Wikivoyage logo

Indonesian has 23 million native speakers and 140 million second language speakers, who speak it alongside their local mother tongue. It is used extensively as a first language by Indonesians in urban areas, and as a second language by those residing in more rural parts of Indonesia. I hope Indonesian visitors can understand to using Wikivoyage with local languange, also presenting Indonesian culture to the world. Bonaditya (talk) 04:38, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support Why? it already has 336 pages on Article spaces, and it will grow even more as you already know so many Indonesian speaker out there (Also, sorry MF warburg some of these people can't understand English so their argument will be just showing their support rather than showing their reason why they supporting it).--AldNon^Ucallin?☎ 12:57, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Update : It's now 778 article.--AldNon^Ucallin?☎ 13:55, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support This language version is primaryly intended to give Indonesians a travel guide about local destinations as well as more established international one. It become relevant because not many Indonesians who need local travel guide can (and willing to) read English. ArdWar^(T•C•L) 19:23, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

Additional note: On Indonesian Wikibooks, there is a similar namespace "Wisata" (Travel) dedicated to travel guides. I think that information can have a new home at Indonesian Wikivoyage. 155.69.179.240 12:11, 27 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, those pages need to be migrated when id.wikivoyage created. Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 03:26, 7 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Is there any update on this request? It's seems stalling. Veracious (talk) 04:11, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, because while you are an active editor, for the past several months, you are the only regular contributor, but we would look for there to be at least ~3. --MF-W 09:36, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, besides ~3 people , is there any time-constraint? Veracious (talk) 09:04, 10 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@MF-Warburg: Hello? Veracious (talk) 08:43, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
FWIW, it was pointed that there are some articles which look like too short (e.g. Belarus), or has many empty sections (e.g. Tiongkok), if such small articles can be expanded, then approval may be as soon as possible. Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 06:16, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Liuxinyu970226 Hmm, so.. country articles are the top priority? Okay, thank for the info. Veracious (talk) 03:08, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
