Template:Lc-questionnaire

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

This template is used for asking details about a new language edition approved by the language committee. Use this:

== Approval ==
{{lc-questionnaire
|en|wikipedia| newlanguage = yes/no
| project_name    = 
| ns_project      =
| ns_project_talk = 
| logo            = File:...
| timezone        = Continent/City
| langname        = 
| enable_upload   = yes/no (optional)
| add_namespaces  = (optional)
| add_settings    = (optional)
}}
Thank you, ~~~~

Additional notes

  • "newlanguage" is whether it is a completely new language for Wikimedia (i.e. there is not yet a project in this language), usually when creating a new Wikipedia.
  • "langname" is only needed when "newlanguage" is "yes"

Optional:

  • "url" to override the default site URL
  • "interfacelang" if it is different from the subdomain
