Arguments in favour

Support Strong support. I have done on the Incubator what I can, i. e. (almost) nothing (User ady-0…). Where are the native speakers (there are only 8 articles, in two dialects) ? --Budelberger 14:54, 11 December 2008 (UTC) ( ).[reply]

With sysop rights, we may have different dialects in one Wikipedia ; Emiliano-Romagnolo has nine ! See e. g. here (« Sta pâgina la gh'é in dialèt ») --Budelberger 15:19, 11 December 2008 (UTC) (

).[reply]

Circassian has only slightly different dialects which are complitely mutually intelligible. I am willing to contribute with article for the Wikipedia in western Circassian Dialect.

Support Strong support: Even only being a living language is sufficient to support. People wait this project in their own language. --İazak 09:14, 4 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support. The language has an official status and the community of speakers is certainly big enough to make the wiki work. V. Volkov / В. Волков (kneiphof) 02:04, 11 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Arguments against

General discussion

Localisation information

The translation of the Mediawiki Most used interface messages into Adyghe is a requirement.
- Translation rights can be requested here. --Jose77 07:34, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Currently 0.00% of the most used MediaWiki messages 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. Thanks, GerardM 11:36, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Currently 17.37% of the most used MediaWiki messages 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. When you add to the localisations, you are likely to see them the next day at the Incubator.. Thanks, 09:16, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

as of 2015, July. Guys! My friends and I are currently localizing (translating) all necessary messages. So I hope we're gona see our Wiki babe soon! :) Highlander45
as of 2015, August. Guys, we're almost ready. A small pile of messages need to be translated. If anyone want to help: https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Special:Translate?filter=%21translated&action=translate&group=core-0-mostused&language=ady-cyrl Highlander45 (talk) 09:18, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
as of 2015, August 24. We've reached 32% of completion in translatewiki. :) 18% is mandatory, as far as I know. So we're almost done! Highlander45 (talk) 14:50, 24 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
as of 2015, September. Hello colleagues. We did it. We finalized the translations of core messages. Thanks to all who helped. To Amire80 especially. Inyzh.ded70 (talk) 09:24, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Next step. What remains

as of 2015, November. Amire80 helped us a lot. He said we need more good pages here in the incubator. That's it. Highlander45 (talk) 18:19, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Created

The wiki has been created. I thought part of the approval process was translating the interface / system messages. How come about half of the Special: pages are listed in English? - dcljr (talk) 20:31, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Dcljr: For the first project in a language only the 500 most used messages are required. Translating more is very much recommended, but not required. Jon Harald Søby (talk) 09:12, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
