Requests for new languages/Wikisource Sundanese
| 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: |
- 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:
| What | Value | Example / Explanation |
|---|
| Proposal | ||
|---|---|---|
| Language code | su (SIL, Glottolog) | A valid ISO 639-1 or 639-3 language code, like "fr", "de", "nso", ... |
| Language name | Sundanese | Language name in English |
| Language name | Sunda | 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 | Q34002 - item has currently the following values:
|
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 | Wikisource contents in Sundanese | Links to previous requests, or references to external websites or documents. |
| Site URL | su.wikisource.org | langcode.wikiproject.org |
| Settings | ||
|---|---|---|
| Project name | Wikipabukon | "Wikisource" in your language |
| Project namespace | Wikipabukon | usually the same as the project name |
| Project talk namespace | Obrolan Wikipabukon | "Wikisource 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:Wikisource-logo-su-sund.svg | This needs to be an SVG image (instructions for logo creation). |
| Default project timezone | Asia/Jakarta | "Continent/City", e.g. "Europe/Brussels" or "America/Mexico City" (see list of valid timezones) |
| Additional namespaces | Page = "Kaca", Page_talk = "Obrolan kaca", Index = "Indéks", Index_talk = "Obrolan Indéks", Author = "Pangarang", Author_talk = "Obrolan Pangarang" | 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
edit- The development of Wikisource content in Sundanese in the multilingual domain has been going on for years and is growing. With a separate subdomain, it is hoped that the development can be more focused and easier for contributors. --Kumincir (talk) 09:27, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
- I support this proposal since I'm still working a project to transliterate and transcribe Sundanese manuscripts using Wikisource tool -- Ilham.nurwansah (talk) 04:15, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
Discussion
edit- Support Sundanese Wikisource is one of the earliest Wikisource in Indonesia (2004), and the earliest to held Wikisource proofreading contests (albeit on en.ws). Sundanese language has many books, with more are being uploaded from GLAM Indonesia partnership with Sundanese GLAM institutions. Sundanese Wikisource deserves to have it's own domain. Since November, there's a batch of new contributors joining. Hopefully most of them will continue proofreading. ✒ Bennylin 15:00, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
- Support for Sundanese Wikisource to have its own domain. In early 2023, there was a proofreading competition held in this project. This indirectly increased the number of edits and attracted new contributors to join. Hopefully, things like this will continue in the future. Akbar Soepadhi (talk) 00:46, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
- Support activating the own domain for Sundanese will be significant to develop new user community of Wikisource. Many printed material in Sundanese language (although the search filter is mixed with other query) are available in Wikimedia Commons and potentially able to be worked in the Sundanese Wikisource.
