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:

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:Wikipedia-logo-v2-kaj.svg
This needs to be an SVG image (
instructions for logo creation
).
Default project timezone
Africa/Lagos
"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
A Phabricator task
has been submitted.
Proposal
edit
Jju
is a language spoken by over 600,000 people in Central (the Middle Belt of) Nigeria. It is closely related to Tyap but has its language code, "kaj", with a variant syntax. The Jju language Wikipedia project is being undertaken by the
Tyap Wikimedians User Group
as a part of its obligations which include the promotion of Wikimedia projects in Tyap and sister Nenzit languages, of which Jju is a part. The group aims to take the Wikimedia project to the speakers of this language to enable safeguarding through encyclopedic documentation. To gather a community to kickstart this project, it is organizing a
Jju Wikipedia Outreach
in-person event.
