Jamaican Wiktionary

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. A committee member provided the following comment: I'm pretty sure proposer now understands that this page shouldn't have been created as "eligible". But, in fact, the project is eligible.

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	jam (SIL, Glottolog)	A valid ISO 639-1 or 639-3 language code, like "fr", "de", "nso", ...
Language name	Jamaican Creole	Language name in English
Language name	Patwa	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	Q35939 - item has currently the following values: English label: Jamaican Patois native label (P1705): Patwa instance of (P31)/subclass of (P279): creole language, modern language, language / English-based creole languages, nation language Wikimedia language code (P424): jam writing system (P282): Latin script number of speakers, writers, or signers (P1098): 3,200,000	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	jam.wiktionary.org	langcode.wikiproject.org

Settings
Project name	Wikshianery	"Wiktionary" in your language
Project namespace	Wikshianery	usually the same as the project name
Project talk namespace	Wikshianery reasoning	"Wiktionary 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:Wiktionary-logo-en-v2.svg	This needs to be an SVG image (instructions for logo creation).
Default project timezone	America/Jamaica	"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.

@Dentonius: I think, what we do need to fill is the Proposal description, not repeating by using a deprecated old formattion template, isn't that? --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 12:43, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Liuxinyu970226:! Thanks for reaching out to me. I'm more or less new here. Can you point me in the right direction and tell me what documents/pages I need to look at? -- Dentonius (talk) 12:56, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
