I can't create a page in Montenegrin, ISO code is 639-2 and 3 [cnr] but it won't allow me. Blu145 (talk) 17:41, 5 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

This matter is already discussed above where an administrator denied at the moment. --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 04:17, 24 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

I saw that but his response was very unprofessional. If there are established rules on Wikipedia, you cannot just express your personal opinion that something "is not a recognized language" when it literally has a valid code and 250,000 speakers. Blu145 (talk) 06:42, 24 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Could one of the local admins semiprotect Wp/izh/Stalin please? It's being targeted by a persistent LTA who uses a VPN. Blocking the individual IPs doesn't do much good because he just gets another. Thanks in advance - Antandrus (talk) 16:13, 24 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

I tries to wrote article in Balochi wikipedia incubator but i cant to publish article because its forbidden i think, I request to Incubator administrators to accept writing in Balochi wikipedia(bal)

Our team is trying to developement of Balochi language in web and wikipedia is in our programs. Moshtank (talk) 06:14, 27 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

This is because bal is defined as a macrolanguage. See Wp/bal for the languages contained in it. --MF-W {a, b} 09:30, 27 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Balochi is not a macrolanguage i as a Baloch and with native Balochi language and i a researcher of Balochi language know that Balochi is not a macrolanguage and we for writing just use one Balochi not three macrolanguages

Its our langugae and its our rights that write and reads in Balochi language, but you that dont know a little things about our langugae saying us about our language?

@Moshtank Balochi is not a macrolanguage? Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 01:41, 5 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Liuxinyu970226 Yes, is not.

Moshtank (talk) 04:59, 6 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Moshtank Then it's a matter at SIL depart, you'll need to submit a request to deprecate member language codes and design Balochi (bal) as an Individual code. Otherwise, there's probably nothing Incubator can do. Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 05:04, 6 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Liuxinyu970226 thats true i has contacting with them!

Thanks!

@Liuxinyu970226 Until SIL accept our request we will work on bcc

If you can please help us and fix Wp/bcc/بیتکوین issues.

@Liuxinyu970226, @Xaosflux,

I have contact with SIL registrars they told me we can use bal as an inclusive ISO639-3 code for Main Balochi

This is their Email text to us;

《Dear Mr. Kohgardi,

The identifier [bal] is a 639-3 code inclusive of the three other Balochi languages. Have you tried to use it?

There is no option to create this, as it already exists, so there is nothing further I can do for you.

Kind regards,

Janell Nordmoe》

Moshtank (talk) 04:31, 7 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Liuxinyu970226, @Xaosflux,

and in other email in a paragraph they told us;

《There is already a code for Balochi macrolanguage, Baluchi [bal]. So we do not need to create one. It is a 639-3 code, as well as 639-2, and it includes the three other Baluchi languages. So, if you are referring to writing or literature for all three languages, please use [bal].》

Now here you saying us you cant to allow to use [bal]

Moshtank (talk) 04:37, 7 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

I'm not interested in this discussion, please stop pinging me. Xaosflux (talk) 15:27, 7 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Moshtank Ditto for me, please stop pinging me, otherwise I'll report you for abusing this function plus, when possible, ask for a block for your account! SIL issues shall be handled on SIL department, not this website. (Anyway, for Wp/bal project, since it has only some hundreds contents, I'd prefer to merge it into Wp/bcc, do anyone against this idea?) Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 03:27, 9 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Sorry if you were you offended by me.

My Bro or Sis

Balochi is our language and i as a Balochi writer preffered [bal] ( inclusive code of Main Balochi ) you must to merge [bcc] to [bal] not [bal] to [bcc]

If you can merge do it and move contents from [bcc] to [bal]

thanks!

Moshtank (talk) 03:57, 9 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Moshtank Let me tell you that why "you must to merge [bcc] to [bal] not [bal] to [bcc]" isn't possible (at least, without several efforts on changing MediaWiki source codes themselves): the Eastern Balochi Wikipedia test shown why to you, because many of their contests use Latin scripts (or Roman, if you'd love to say) instead of Arabic scripts. (PS: Looks like there's now a discussion on langcom mailing list [1] about nearly all of what you asked everywhere.) Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 07:04, 17 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Ofcourse [bcc] is just a dialect of [bal]

We creating articles in [bal] for [bcc] because @Amire80 tells me use [bcc] till langcom accept [bal] as an supporting language and again translates and articles can to move to [bal]

I told all of Balochi dialects just different in speakings and voices and all of Balochi writers using Main Balochi as a complette language.

So you must move or copy articles from [bcc] to [bal]

And its true some Balochi writers in web using Roman Scrip that we can use [bal-latn] for that and i request [bal-latn] on Translate project

I want to start a new test wiki for Meitei language alias Manipuri language (ISO code: mni) but in Bengali script (ISO code: Beng). Earlier, Meitei language wikipedia (mni.wiki) was successfully approved as a wikipedia from here. But it's written in Meitei script (ISO code: Mtei). Since mni wiki (in Mtei script) already exist, may I be given the permission to create a test wiki with a prefix "Wp/mni-beng" or "Wp/mni-Beng" (a combination of ISO codes of mni language and beng script)? Important to note is that Meitei language is widely written in Bengali script in Bangladesh as well as India despite the revival of Meitei script. Both Mtei script and Beng script are official scripts for mni language in Manipur. Bengali script is still used in (1) Indian Prime Minister's Office for writing Meitei language, (2) Vikaspedia (Government of India's agriculture encyclopedia), (3) Manipur Government's official websites (other than English) and in various newspapers too. I tried to create a page with the very prefix but it's not possible, as a notice box appeared saying it's wrong prefix or if not, I should request to admins to allow the prefix to be unblocked from the auto-block. Haoreima (talk) 10:18, 31 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Ideally, both scripts should be used in one wiki. Is it maybe possible to add a script converter on mniwiki? --MF-W {a, b} 14:44, 2 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

MF-W Sir! We don't have that mechanism as of now. Plus, the Bengali script using Meitei language has heavy Bangladeshi accent, vocabulary, style that it can be considered as a separate dialect in some case. Even the Ethnologue stated this fact. For that, we also have w:Bangladeshi Meitei language. The Punjabi wikipedia has two, one in Gurmukhi script (pa wiki) and the other in Shahmukhi script (pnb wiki). Just like Chinese wikis have zh wiki, zh-classical, etc, is it possible to allow us to start a test wiki? --Haoreima (talk) 15:01, 2 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

MF-W The Meitei script using Meitei language is usually linguistically pure or attempts not to add loanwords most of the time. It even have w:Meitei linguistic purism movement. So, I believe that the two could be considered separate. Even in Google Translate, two sections are planned to be added for Meitei language, first one is already added called "Manipuri (Meiteilon)" whose code they set as "mni-Mtei" and the remaining one is in its Beta version (soon to be publicised) and is "mni-Beng". --Haoreima (talk)

There is functionality in the MediaWiki software to support multiple scripts where they are both phonetic - used on a number of Indic language Wikis. I'm not sure what the limitations are, but it might be worth investigating. Rich Farmbrough (talk) 21:30, 16 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

I want to contribute to the Wikimedia Incubator for Montenegrin, but the creation of new test articles in the Incubator is disabled. I am not discussing the eligibility of a Wikipedia in Montenegrin, only the possibility of creating new test articles in the Incubator since one of the premises in the 5th request for Montenegrin is that it needs to have active contribution, but we cannot contribute when the creation of new test articles in the Incubator is disabled. Can somebody enable the creation of new test articles in the Wp/cnr/Početna stranica? @MF-Warburg purposefully ignored my question on his talk page and didn't answer it even after five days, but he responded to everybody else on the same day they posed their question. Plus, he edited this page 21 hours ago which proves he is active. I don't think he is being professional in doing his job here. He's been on Wikipedia for 17 years, maybe it's time for him to retire and somebody else to step in his place. He has a habit of ignoring people's questions which makes him totally unfit for an admin. In February of 2023, two users asked him very politely to further clarify and justify his claim that Montenegrin "is not recognized as eligible" for a test Wikimedia Incubator. He very rudely ignored both of their questions, but he has replied to all later questions on different subjects to other users, usually on the same day they asked them. He also failed to respond to @Syunsyunminmin who asked very concisely, after laying out all Wikipedian principles she is aware of, whether she is missing some information as to why the Incubator for Montenegrin is disabled. He failed to reply to user @Liuxinyu970226 on multiple occasions. This gives me reasonable doubt to conclude that he is not professional in fulfilling his task here, so I will inquire into where I can report him to have him removed from his position. I would love if somebody could give me a proper answer to my question about the Montenegrin Wikimedia Incubator and why is it disabled? It's a test wiki and we should be allowed to create test articles in order to increase the likelihood of having a real wikipedia one day. Thank you in advance. Blu145 (talk) 09:25, 16 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for describing my response speed in such a positive way, which I feel is not deserved. - The creation of pages is blocked for all ineligible language codes. Montenegrin is currently not recognized as eligible, because the language committee has not found it to be "sufficiently unique that it could not coexist on a more general wiki. In most cases, this excludes regional dialects and different written forms of the same language." (as the m:LPP says). --MF-W {a, b} 13:32, 16 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

The description is perfectly accurate and deserved and if I didn't write that I'm gonna report you, you would probably ignore this post as well. But I don't see where do you pull the information that Montenegrin is officially considered "not eligible". That may be your subjective opinion but the 5th Montenegrin request is still open and has lots of support. In fact, most of the opposition comes from Serbs. And you didn't even read my question, I asked about enabling test articles on the Incubator, I didn't ask why is there no Wikipedia in Montenegrin. But even if a Montenegrin wikipedia never sees the light of day, some changes will have to happen. The false, non-existent 19th century German invention called "Serbo-Croatian" that 0,2% claim as their mother tongue in all four countries today has a Wikipedia, and it's basically a Croatian Wikipedia 2.0, and all other three standards that are also "not sufficiently unique that they could not coexist on a more general wiki" have their own separate wikipedias. Montenegrin is in fact orthographically the most unique of the four because it has additional two letters. So either all of them are gonna merge into one, or we are eventually going to have our own Wikipedia. I still don't see why we shouldn't be allowed to at least write articles in the Incubator. 62.4.55.104 13:44, 16 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Well dear all above, I'm afraid the biggest matter that why Montenegrin can't be considered an eligible language for Incubator to test, is due to this meta assessment page: Croatian Wikipedia Disinformation Assessment-2021, especially its 3rd suggestion:

“

Encouraging the affected communities to discuss the possibility of re-merging Bosnian, Serbian and Croatian language projects into the original Serbo-Croatian language projects to re-align with the practices of other pluricentric languages with unified Wikipedia projects; including but not limited to Chinese, English, German, Spanish, Tamil, Korean, and French language Wikipedias.

”

@editors of that meta page: NNair (WMF), MNadzikiewicz (WMF), Xeno (WMF), Ainali, Minorax, Morneo06, DerHexer, Whym, Quisqualis and GeneralNotability: Is this suggestion also affects Montenegrin, so that Montenegrin contents should also be considered to merge into the existing Serbo-Croatian Wikipedia? Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 03:53, 17 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

I am perfectly fine with just one Wikipedia existing for all four standards of the same pluricentric BCMS language. But I consider it very wrong for three standards to have their own wikipedia, and a fourth common Serbo-Croatian wikipedia to exist, but not a Montenegrin one. There are literally no differences, zero, between Bosnian and ijekavian Serbian. In Montenegrin you at least have iotated forms with ś and ź and radically different syntax. But it's still all the same language. And it's very unprofessional of admins to have double standards for different languages. Bosnian is perfectly eligible to have it's own wikipedia, and Croatian and Serbian too, even though they are far from being sufficiently unique, but then for Montenegrin all of a sudden we have the strictest policy. I think the best solution is to have just one wikipedia in two scripts, Latin and Cyrilic, where forms of every standard will be acceptable, depending on who is writing the material. Also, this would be a huge improvement in article quality, since Serbian and Croatian editors would now have to reach a consensus on certain grounds and supply their claims with actual references, especially when it comes to writing articles on history and historical figures. The other solution would be to transform the Serbo-Croatian Wikipedia into the Montenegrin one, but again that wouldn't be fair to all the other languages that have perhaps even bigger regional differences but don't have separate wikipedias. But if no one ever merges the Serbian, Bosnian and Croatian wikipedia into one, then we need to have a Wikipedia for the Montenegrin standard as well. 62.4.55.104 05:20, 17 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Ilham.nurwansah: Hello! Wikimedia's language proposal policy doesn't allow extinct/ancient languages, which is why you can't create any pages in that test wiki.

I look up the list code of ISO:639-3, the code ycr of Yilan Creole is still active. But when I’d like to create Wp/ycr, the screen pops up the sentence: “You are trying to create a page without a valid ISO 639-1 or -3 code.”. I wanna to know what’s wrong with this system. --Sdf (talk) 13:46, 30 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Sdf: The code was only added to ISO 639 recently (January this year), so it had not been added to our list of accepted codes. I have added it now.

Do you know this language at all? It is not a good idea to create a test wiki in a language you don't know. Jon Harald Søby (talk) 14:07, 30 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hi there, does someone know something about SIL? They did not posted the Proposed Changes now. Zolgoyo (talk) 11:33, 31 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Zolgoyo: I asked SIL for this question in the last month, and this is what their staff responded:

There will be a revision of 639 published in the coming weeks which will modify the change request process. In anticipation of this, we will not be publishing the requests submitted in 2023 yet, as we expect that to be done in collaboration with an ISO 639 Maintenance Agency.

Hello everyone, I am trying to publish or edit articles on (Wikivoyage Arabic) in the Arabic language by adding texts in the Arabic language only. I repeatedly see the phrase (You are trying to create a page without a valid ISO 639-1 or -3 code.)

How can this problem be solved? Osps7 (talk) 17:18, 8 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Osps7: Hi! Can you share the URL to the pages you're trying to create? E.g. the URL that's in your browser's location bar when you edit pages. Jon Harald Søby (talk) 19:10, 8 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hello, are there any bureaucrats available to grant test-adminship? There are several requests (including mine) at the Incubator:Administrators#Current_requests_for_test_adminship section that need attention, as some have not gotten a response since October. Thank you. Ultron90 (talk) 11:37, 12 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
