Requests for new languages/Wikivoyage Japanese
Appearance
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: |
- 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 | ja (SIL, Glottolog) | A valid ISO 639-1 or 639-3 language code, like "fr", "de", "nso", ... |
Language name | Japanese | Language name in English |
Language name | 日本語 | 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 | Q5287 - 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 | ja.wikivoyage.org | langcode.wikiproject.org |
Settings | ||
---|---|---|
Project name | ウィキボヤージュ | "Wikivoyage" in your language |
Project namespace | Wikivoyage | usually the same as the project name |
Project talk namespace | Wikivoyage・ノート | "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-v3-en.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 | "プロジェクト", "プロジェクト・ノート" (as the talk namespace of "プロジェクト"), alias: "WikiProject" -> "プロジェクト", "WikiProject talk:" -> "プロジェクト・ノート" | 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. |
Discussion
[edit]NB: Previously, we hoped Japanese Wikivoyage could be created directly (in 2013) when Wikivoyage was taken over by the WMF. That couldn't be done; by now it wouldn't make much sense to create a project without an active community. --MF-W 00:42, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

Unfortunately, the test wiki is currently nowhere near active enough to get a standalone wiki. (See first bullet point above, starting with "The community needs to".) If you want to support this project, please become a regular contributor to the test wiki at the Incubator and convince some other users to do the same. - dcljr (talk)

- Strong support without a doubt. This is the best Wikivoyage candidate on meta by far. The Japanese are some of the world's most enthusiastic travellers and should be more than eager to contribute. Sabon Harshe (talk) 17:28, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

Settings
[edit]Is everything correct with the settings in the table at the top of the page? Also, what would the additional namespace be called in English? --MF-W 17:51, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
- "プロジェクト" is called "Project:" in English. --126.255.25.107 06:02, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
- But
Project:
is used byWikivoyage:
namespace. So we are considering about usingWikiProject:
as English alias instead. We are going to request in Phabricator as soon as determined. --Atmark-chan <T/C> 10:22, 11 August 2020 (UTC)- Set "Wikiproject" if this is mandatory. --Tmv (talk) 10:35, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
- Comment Isn't it
WikiProject
? And, I think it isn't mandatory.プロジェクト
namespace in JAWP doesn't have English alias. --Atmark-chan <T/C> 11:12, 11 August 2020 (UTC)- Indeed, WikiProject might be a better choice.--Tmv (talk) 07:23, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
