Requests for new languages/Wikipedia Jambi Malay

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 and will verify the test project content with a reliable neutral source, such as a professor or expert. 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. A committee member provided the following comment: Marked as eligible --MF-W 22:22, 27 June 2021 (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	jax (SIL, Glottolog)	A valid ISO 639-1 or 639-3 language code, like "fr", "de", "nso", ...
Language name	Jambi Malay	Language name in English
Language name	Bahaso Jambi	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	Q3915769 - item has currently the following values: English label: Jambi Malay native label (P1705): bahaso Melayu Jambi instance of (P31)/subclass of (P279): language, dialect, modern language / Malay Wikimedia language code (P424): jax 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	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	jax.wikipedia.org	langcode.wikiproject.org

Settings
Project name	Wikipédia	"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	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	GMT +7	"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.

Want to try make a Jambinese Wiki : --Techkomfajar (talk) 21:18, 8 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support if there is a community to maintain it. Masjawad99 (talk) 03:05, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'm support this idea. Because Indonesia is a 4th largest country in the world Semuel Tahun (talk) 06:03, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
More visibility for the various Indonesian languages outside of Java. RXerself (talk) 19:04, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Should better be written within Malay Wikipedia. --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 05:00, 28 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Liuxinyu970226: mswiki is for the Malaysian version of Malay. This is a separate language with valid ISO code. dwadieff ✉ 10:05, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Wikimedia Indonesia funded a rapid grant to improve content at jaxwiki on April-May 2021, led by (among others) Alhuzaini, Itachimar, and Pitnia Ayu Saputri. dwadieff ✉ 09:59, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@David Wadie Fisher-Freberg: Pardon, but due to [1], are you really sure that that test project is in Jambi Malay, instead of "jambinized Indonesian, that is Bahaa Indonesia interspersed with a few emblematic Jambi words"? This looks like a big block for a potential approval. --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 03:07, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Eventhough I know the "Jambi Malay" is very different than Malay, but I oppose the creation, simply because these language is wrongly or mistakenly named or identified as 'Malay', while actually it is the variant of Minangkabau (Minangkabau Wikipedia already exist) mixed with Palembang language.
