Requests for new languages/Wikiversity Hausa

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. 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.

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	ha (SIL, Glottolog)	A valid ISO 639-1 or 639-3 language code, like "fr", "de", "nso", ...
Language name	Hausa	Language name in English
Language name	Hausa	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	Q56475 - item has currently the following values: English label: Hausa native label (P1705): Hausa instance of (P31)/subclass of (P279): natural language, modern language / Hausa–Gwandara Wikimedia language code (P424): ha writing system (P282): Latin script, Arabic alphabet number of speakers, writers, or signers (P1098): 43,900,000	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 for ha-Latn, RTL for ha-Arab	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	ha.wikiversity.org	langcode.wikiproject.org

Settings
Project name	Wikiversity	"Wikiversity" in your language
Project namespace		usually the same as the project name
Project talk namespace		"Wikiversity 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	Africa/Kaduna	"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

I an administrator in Hausa Wikipedia, I'm requesting for this new project language to boost free language knowledge sharing in the entire Wikimedia Movement towards 2023, as Hausa Community is rapidly growing with much participants both online and offline, we have more than three active editors to contribute in the project.Anasskoko^Talk 18:17, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

Support Although the Wikiversity content model is harder to develop, there is clearly enough potential of growth with the number of speakers of Hausa, and there could be benefitial for their community to create, develop and spread good open educational resources (OER) made by themselves with their needs in mind. It would be necessary to offer good help pages to assist potential contributors how to create good courses, tutorials or lectures that actually can be used to self learning. --Onwa (talk) 14:57, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
