Request for a new language edition: Wiktionary Tacawit

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: phab:T238105. Jon Harald Søby (talk) 16:51, 12 November 2019 (UTC) The wiki has been created, and all content imported. Jon Harald Søby (talk) 14:24, 24 November 2019 (UTC)

• 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	shy (SIL, Glottolog)	A valid ISO 639-1 or 639-3 language code, like "fr", "de", "nso", ...
Language name	Shawiya	Language name in English
Language name	Tacawit	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	Q33274 - item has currently the following values: en label = Shawiya native label (P1705) = Tacawit instance/subclass (P31/P279) = language, modern language / Zenati languages Wikimedia language code (P424) = shy writing system (P282) = Arabic alphabet, Tifinagh, Berber Latin alphabet number of speakers (P1098) = 2,300,000	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)?
Links		Links to previous requests, or references to external websites or documents.
Site URL	shy.wiktionary.org	langcode.wikiproject.org

Settings
Project name	Wikasegzawal	"Wiktionary" in your language
Project namespace	Wikasegzawal	usually the same as the project name
Project talk namespace	Wikasegzawal tameslayt	"Wiktionary 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:WiktionaryShy.svg	This needs to be an SVG image (instructions for logo creation).
Default project timezone	Africa/Algiers	"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 (includes everything automatically, except additional namespaces/settings)
