Incubator:Feedback - Wikimedia Incubator

TO: Incubator@...

Hi,

I'm Lalchhuansanga Pachuau, from Mizoram State of India. I want to start  
Mizo Wikipedia (http://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/lus). Now, I and my  
friends start working on Khampat .COM (http://www.khampat.com), the Mizo  
web-portal and we are planning to host an wiki encyclopedia (we called it  
Wikipatdia) and hosting on http://wiki.khampat.com.

But, now we found out that there is a chance that you can host(?) Mizo  
Wikipedia. So, we are contacting you for how to start it.

And, we want to ask these:
1. How many articles you need for us to start Mizo Wikipedia?
2. Who will manage the front page (Main_Page)?
3. Can we/I have more/advanced access regarding the administration by  
myself or my team?

We are waiting for your response.

N.B: We already have some knowledge on Mediawiki software, you can check  
out at http://wiki.khampat.com

Thanking you,

Lalchhuansanga Pachuau

There's no fixed number. The basic requisites are outlined at 
<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meta:Language_proposal_policy>. 
Basically, you have to translate the most used messages of the software 
interface (about 500 messages; this can be done at 
<http://translatewiki.net/>), and you have to show constant interest (by 
creating new articles on the Incubator). The language committee will 
consider approving the project as soon as they are convinced, that the 
community won't loose interest in the project. As I said, there's no 
fixed number of articles, but to give at least a rough number: With 300 
articles you have a realistic chance to be approved. But: The more the 
better. And more important is constant activity.

One warning: The language committee is sometimes not very responsive.

Re: Incubator:Feedback - Wikimedia Incubator

hello,

A small update. A project inside the Wikimedia Incubator can have
administrators also, thore rights are granted by a Incubator bureaucrat
and you are not alouwed to use it outside pages in your project.

Re: Incubator:Feedback - Wikimedia Incubator

Hoi,
The first requirement is to ask for a language that is recognised by the ISO-639-3. The code lus is indeed used by the Mizo language, you then make an entry at the Meta page request for new languages. As long as there is no request made, the Language Committee is not aware of people wanting to start a project for a language..

I checked and there is a request for the Lushai language with the lus code.. According to the documentation at Ethnologue this is a synonym for Mizo. I checked and it is possible to localise for this language at translatewiki.net.

To see all the latest messages at the incubator, you currently have to wait until the MediaWiki software is updated. In order to have the messages available as soon as possible, it is advised to install the LocalisationUpdate extension. This extension will make all the recent localisations available and thereby improve the usability for a language when new localisations have been entered.
Thanks,
      GerardM
