Requests for new languages/Wikipedia Kwasio

submitted	verification	final decision

	This proposal has been rejected. While this request has technically been rejected, in reality this is a request that has been sitting open or on hold for a long time with little evidence of a community coming together to build a project. If a community comes together in the future and makes a new request, LangCom would consider that new request without prejudice. A committee member provided the following comment: LangCom would reconsider if a community starts working on the test. StevenJ81 (talk) 15:50, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

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	nmg (SIL, Glottolog)	A valid ISO 639-1 or 639-3 language code, like "fr", "de", "nso", ...
Language name	Kwasio	Language name in English
Language name	kwasio	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	Q34098 - item has currently the following values: English label: Kwasio native label (P1705): instance of (P31)/subclass of (P279): language, modern language / Makaa-Njem Wikimedia language code (P424): writing system (P282): Latin script number of speakers, writers, or signers (P1098):	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	nmg.wikipedia.org	langcode.wikiproject.org

Settings
Project name	Wikipedia	"Wikipedia" in your language
Project namespace		usually the same as the project name
Project talk namespace		"Wikipedia talk" (the discussion namespace of the project namespace)
Enable uploads	yes	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:Wikipedia svg logo-fr.svg	This needs to be an SVG image (instructions for logo creation).
Default project timezone	CET (UTC+1)	"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.

Replace this line with your opening argument in favour of the new project.

Nous pensons vivement que le fait d'insérer la langue kwasio dans l'encyclopédie Wikipedia serait salutaire non seulement pour la langue mais également pour les peuples qui la parle. En effet, cette langue regorge d'un nombre considérable de locuteurs aussi bien natifs qu'étrangers. Pareillement, ladite langue est une langue transfrontalière que l'on retrouve non seulement au Cameroun mais aussi au Gabon, en Guinée Equatoriale et en République Centraficaine. L'insérer donc stipule que l'encyclopédie sera une plateforme louable et propiced'expression et de partage de tous les locuteurs de cette dernière.

Oppose, only 18.000 speakers in Africa, so the number of native speakers, which have their own computer with Internet, is extremely low. If we open this Wikipedia, it will be empty all the time. --LexArt 08:14, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
