Requests for new languages/Wikipedia Tigre

submitted	verification	final decision

	This proposal has been approved. The Board of Trustees and language committee have deemed that there is sufficient grounds and community to create the new language project. A committee member provided the following comment: Approved on 3 December 2024. --Satdeep Gill (talk) 12:44, 3 December 2024 (UTC) phabricator:T381377[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	tig (SIL, Glottolog)	A valid ISO 639-1 or 639-3 language code, like "fr", "de", "nso", ...
Language name	Tigre	Language name in English
Language name	ትግሬ	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	Q34129 - item has currently the following values: English label: Tigre native label (P1705): ትግሬ instance of (P31)/subclass of (P279): language, modern language / Ethiopian Semitic Wikimedia language code (P424): writing system (P282): Geʽez script number of speakers, writers, or signers (P1098): 800,000	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	tig.wikipedia.org	langcode.wikiproject.org

Settings
Project name	ዊኪፒድያ	"Wikipedia" in your language
Project namespace	ዊኪፒድያ	usually the same as the project name
Project talk namespace	ህድግ ዊኪፒድያ	"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	File:Wikipedia-logo-v2-tig.svg	This needs to be an SVG image (instructions for logo creation).
Default project timezone	Africa/Asmara	"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.

Proposal

Currently there is no wikipedia language for Tigre language ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tigre_language ) We plan to add wikipedia content for this language, e.g. content is http://modaina.com/tigre/ --Bbeshir (talk) 18:19, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There is nothing to do for now for you, these are internal discussions and Langcom will come forward when/if there are news. --MF-W 09:04, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
