Requests for new languages/Wikinews Slovene

submitted	verification	final decision

	This language has been verified as eligible. The language is eligible for a project, which means that the subdomain can be created once there is an active community and a localized interface, as described in the language proposal policy. You can discuss the creation of this language project on this page. Once the criteria are met, the language committee can proceed with the approval. If you think the criteria are met, but the project is still waiting for approval, feel free to notify the committee and ask them to consider its approval.

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	sl (SIL, Glottolog)	A valid ISO 639-1 or 639-3 language code, like "fr", "de", "nso", ...
Language name	Slovenian	Language name in English
Language name	Slovenščina	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	Q9063 - item has currently the following values: English label: Slovene native label (P1705): slovenski jezik, slovenščina instance of (P31)/subclass of (P279): natural language, modern language / Western South Slavic languages Wikimedia language code (P424): sl writing system (P282): Latin script number of speakers, writers, or signers (P1098): 2,400,000	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	LTR	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	sl.wikinews.org	langcode.wikiproject.org

Settings
Project name		"Wikinews" in your language
Project namespace		usually the same as the project name
Project talk namespace		"Wikinews 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		This needs to be an SVG image (instructions for logo creation).
Default project timezone	Continent/City	"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
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

'Support' The Slovene wiki is popular, we should have a Wikinews.--Kanzler31 03:05, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Nothing in the middle. Voting should be closed.--Reality006 23:16, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Note that the "recent news" section on Slovene Wikipedia has been canceled some years ago due to lack of interest. I sincerely doubt that there will be enough volunteers for this project. Yerpo 08:38, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I second that. If there are no people interested in maintaining the project, then it's better not to have it. When interest appears, the request can be repeated, then there should be no objections. --Tone 08:23, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: Sorry but apart from Slovene Wikipedia other wikiprojects aren't that fruitful and I am afraid slwikinews would be a pretty much dead project from the beginning. I share opinions of Tone.--A09|(pogovor) 15:43, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Currently 61.82% of the MediaWiki messages and 4.50% of the messages of the extensions used by the Wikimedia Foundation projects have been localised. Please help us help your language by localising at Betawiki. This is the recent localisation activity for your language. Thanks, GerardM 10:46, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Currently 53.51% of the MediaWiki messages and 2.91% of the messages of the extensions used by the Wikimedia Foundation projects have been localised. Localisation of these messages is a requirement before your request is finally assessed. This is the recent localisation activity for your language.
