Template:New wiki request/doc

Usage

The comment field in this template should only be used by members of the Language committee , since it is an official message.

This template is used on requests for new wikis, to give information about the language and the subdomain settings. Use this example:

{{new wiki request
| status           = open
| comment          = <!-- leave this to language committee members -->
| phab             = <!-- task number once it exists -- e.g., T123456 -->
| language_code    = fr
| language_code3   = fra
| language_English = French
| language_native  = français
| language_Wikidata= Q150
| new_language     = yes/no <!-- usually yes if it's a Wikipedia, otherwise usually no -->
| directionality   = LTR <!--LTR = "left to right"; "RTL" for right-to-left scripts.-->
| project_English  = Wikipedia
| project_native   = Wikipédia
| ns_project       = 
| ns_project_talk  = 
| enable_upload    = yes/no/admin
| logo             = File:...
| timezone         = Continent/City
| add_namespaces   = 
| add_settings     = 
| category = <!-- used for wikisource and wikiversity -->
}}

Additional notes

• "new_language" 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.
• "language_native" is actually only needed when "new_language" is "yes"

Optional:

• "url" to override the default site URL
• "interfacelang" if it is different from the subdomain
• A link to Phabricator (with the settings pre-filled) is added when the status is set to approved
• "phab" can be used to replace the link described in the previous item by a normal link to the existing Phabricator task
• For Wikisource and Wikiversity, use "category" and maybe also "main_page"
• Optional parameters "community" and "links" for converting old proposals

Some simple words or short sentences are translatable on Template:New wiki request/translation.

Template parameters

This template prefers block formatting of parameters.

Parameter		Description	Type	Status
Status of request	status	Status of the request. Only members of the Language Committee should change the value of this parameter. Suggested values open waiting old stale rejected eligible approved Default open	Line	required
Language Committee comment	comment	A comment from the Language Committee. Only members of the Language Committee should provide a value for this parameter. (This can be used to link to the Phabricator task requesting creation of the wiki, once that task exists.)	Line	suggested
Phabricator task	phab	The Phabricator task number, once that task has been created. (This hides the link to create the Phabricator task and replaces it with a normal link to the existing task. The longer parameter name "phabricator" can also be used.) Example T123456	Line	suggested
Language code (subdomain)	language_code	The ISO 639 two- or three-letter code for the language. This will be used as the subdomain for the wiki. Example fr	Line	required
Three-letter language code	language_code3	Add this if the language has both two- and three-letter language codes. Example fra	Line	optional
Wiki language name in English	language_English	The language of the wiki in English. This is almost always the name of the English Wikipedia article about the language without the word "language". For example, the English Wikipedia article about French is "French language", so the value here for a French wiki would be "French". Example French	Line	suggested
English Wikipedia article title	wtitle	Use this to specify the title of the English Wikipedia article about the language if that title is not simply the value of language_English plus the word "language".	Line	optional
Wiki language name for itself (local or native name)	language_native	The name of the language of the wiki in the language itself. Example Français	Line	required
Wikidata item for wiki language	language_Wikidata	The item number at Wikidata for the language of the wiki. Example Q150	Line	suggested
New language?	new_language	Is this the first Wikimedia wiki to be created for this language? (Usually yes if this is a Wikipedia and no otherwise, but not always.) Suggested values yes no	Line	required
Directionality	directionality	The direction the language is written in (left-to-right, etc.). Suggested values ltr rtl top to bottom Default ltr	Line	suggested
Content project name in English	project_English	The name of the Wikimedia content project the wiki will be a part of. Suggested values Wikipedia Wiktionary Wikiquote Wikibooks Wikisource Wikinews Wikiversity Wikivoyage Default Wikipedia	Line	required
Content project name in wiki language	project_native	The name of the Wikimedia content project in the language of the wiki. If not provided, the English name (project_English) will be used. (The example here is "Wikipedia" in French.) Example Wikipédia	Line	suggested
Project namespace	ns_project	The name of the project namespace in the language of the wiki. Usually this matches project_native, but not always. If not provided, the default English name (project_English) will be used. Example Wikipédia	Line	suggested
Project talk namespace	ns_project_talk	The name of the talk/discussion namespace associated with the project namespace. If not provided, the default English name (project_English plus the word "talk") will be used. Example Discussion Wikipédia	Line	suggested
Enable uploads?	enable_upload	Should uploads be allowed? Usually this is no, and files should be uploaded to Commons instead of locally on the wiki. Specifying yes (anyone can upload) or admin (only administrators/sysops can) requires that an Exemption Doctrine Policy (EDP) be created first. A "no" setting here can always be changed later. Suggested values yes no admin Default no	Line	suggested
Logo	logo	An SVG file containing the logo to be shown in the upper-left corner of every wiki page. This should be a file uploaded to Commons. Example File:Wikipedia-logo-v2-fr.svg	Line	suggested
Time zone	timezone	The time zone to be used by the wiki. Must be a valid time zone identifier from the "tz database". Example Europe/Paris	Line	suggested
Additional namespaces	add_namespaces	Any additional namespaces required for the wiki. For example, a Wikisource would need local equivalents of "Page", "Page talk", "Index", "Index talk", "Author", "Author talk". Example "Auteur" (Author), "Discussion auteur" (Author talk)	Line	optional
Additional settings	add_settings	Any additional settings for the wiki.	Line	optional
Category	category	For a Wikisource or Wikiversity, the category of the test wiki on the Multilingual Wikisource or Wikiversiy Beta. (Otherwise the test wiki is assumed to be in the Wikimedia Incubator.)	Line	optional
