- The community needs to develop an active test project; it must remain active until approval (automated statistics). 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:

| Default project timezone | Asia/Dhaka | "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 | |
Proposal
editI have been working on the Bishnupriya Manipuri Wikipedia project since it started, and I am an admin. Now we have 25000+ articles. We are interested to extend our work to the Wikisource project. Wikisource project for Bishnupriya Manipuri language is most important because
- Bishnupriya Manipuri language is an endangered language. If we can use the Wikisource project, it will be a wonderful way to keep historical documents for our future generation.
- A good way to attract Bishnupriya Manipuri readers to learn about Bishnupriya Manipuri literature and history.
I believe it is time to start Bishnupriya Manipuri Wikisource. Usingha (talk) 22:01, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
