Approval discussion for Levantine Wiki

Hi Maryana, apologies if this is duplicate, but I pinged you in the discussion about the approval of the Levantine Wiki. I just wanted to let you know that the community is very discouraged after putting in over three years of effort on this project, creating a high-quality incubator wiki that, unfortunately, has received little visibility. Our community is entirely volunteer-driven, and this was accomplished without any funding from the foundation. Levantine Arabic is the 33rd most spoken language in the world and has the largest number of speakers among languages without a Wikipedia. Please note that for many people, Levantine Arabic is the only variant of Arabic they can speak, and they can only write it using Latin letters. Our multiple inquiries about software support to at least have the interface in this language-writing system pair have gone unanswered. We sincerely believe the foundation needs to step in here. We believe that approving this project would have aligned with the foundation’s goals and mission—allowing it to gain visibility through inter-language links and enabling the team to work on dual-writing-system support.

@TheJoyfulTentmaker I am asking @Runab WMF to look into this in more detail and respond in the main discussion. MIskander-WMF (talk) 14:09, 26 November 2025 (UTC)
