Wikipedia Yola

Not allowing a test wiki of Wikipedia Yola is unfair, there is a revival movement going on in Wexford. I’m a fluent heritage speaker, Why is it blocked? — The preceding unsigned comment was added by MichaelDMelvin23 (discussion • contribs) 08:57, 8 January 2022 (UTC).Reply[reply]

Hi, You may not recall for it was long ago that you removed my little wiki, and moved on with your day, but I did not. You said the language is dead, but that isn’t fully true. Yes it is true that there are no speakers who have spoken it since they were born, but there is a small amount of people such as myself who are fully capable people when it comes to speaking Yola, and that have helped it to be spoken in this time, and by more people now too! As you can see I’m writing in it right now. The others will write page for it too. I’m a so called heritage speaker as well, Yola was spoken by my ancestors. We of the yola language hope this pleased you well, and hope that you will let us open a “Test Wiki” and make it so that our children, and their children, and so on, will have a website to do research on, in their own language. Thank you for your time -Michael

@MichaelDMelvin23 Based on your suggestions, Wikisource (to which we don't "incubate" here) is more suitable for your purpose, instead of Wikipedia. Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 01:44, 16 January 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Liuxinyu970226 @MF-Warburg Yola is a revived language and the community deserves a Wikipedia for researching in their own language. The ISO 639-3 code is valid, but was rendered unusable by MF-Warburg. MichaelDMelvin23 (talk) 13:57, 20 January 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Wikipedia in Yola (2)

Currently still receiving the message “You are trying to create a page without a valid ISO 639-1 or 639-3 code” despite that “yol” is a valid ISO code, can anyone explain why this happened? It was working until someone shut down the Incubator Wiki, saying that the language was extinct despite the fact that it is a revived language. Middle English, Old Prussian, Old English, etc all have Incubator tests, so what is the reason why a legitimate, revived language can not have an Incubator test? Thank you for reading, any advice, comments, or feedback would be greatly appreciated as I don’t know where to go from here. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by MichaelDMelvin23 (discussion • contribs) 15:11, 25 January 2022 (UTC).Reply[reply]

That's a false positive. Ping User:Danny B. for checking what can be done. --MF-W {a, b} 13:27, 26 January 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

As MF-Warburg mentioned above, this was unfortunate false positive. Apologies for inconvenience and thanks for patience. The collected data have been reflected in the updated version and you should not experience any issues now. However, since your language has a specific way of word formation, some other false positive still unfortunately may happen in the future, nevertheless such possible occurrences will be reflected as well as soon as possible.

tok code doesn't work

Tokipona was moved to Fandom, according to Meta. --Mahmudmasri (talk) 17:26, 4 February 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I see, this is a new code, that's why it's not yet in the Glottolog database. Since this is about a constructed language however (and one that used to have a Wikipedia; the ISO change request also mentions wikipesija.org which is linked from the "fandom" page and still seems to be active), it should first be clarified with Langcom if it is accepted as eligible. See m:Language committee/Handbook (requesters) if you want to make a request accordingly. --MF-W {a, b} 23:39, 4 February 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Unable to create an infopage for Wb/ha

I've tried to create an infopage for the Hausa Wikibooks, but I get the "You are trying to create a page without a valid ISO 639-1 or -3 code" error message.

rsk

Hi,

rsk is a recently approved ISO 639 code for Pannonian Rusyn. A contributor is trying to create an Incubator in it, and it's blocked.

wp/ldn/Main Page

I just noticed this had been created, apparently last year. I can edit that page, but trying to edit the redlinked page gets me an error. Arlo Barnes (talk) 07:05, 27 February 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

This is because we have now restricted the creation of pages in languages which are not recognized as individual, living languages, so that their eligibility can be clarified first. Please make a request on Meta (linked from Wp/ldn). --MF-W {a, b} 16:13, 27 February 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I'm confused, isn't that for 'graduating' from Incubator? meta:language proposal policy says "[...] there is an active test project on the Multilingual Wikisource (Wikisource only), Beta Wikiversity (Wikiversity only), or the Incubator (all other projects). A project must start on one of these wikis. This will demonstrate that there is sufficient community to build the project." so I'm unclear which is the cart and which is the horse here. Arlo Barnes (talk) 22:11, 27 February 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

There are two steps, "eligibility" and "final approval". The latter is about leaving Incubator and getting an own wiki, but the former is about the language itself. See there for some notes about artificial languages already. --MF-W {a, b} 14:25, 28 February 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

wp/yol

Hi, can anyone let me know why I’m blocked from creating wp/yol. https://iso639-3.sil.org/code/yol This links to the ISO 639-3 code which has been valid since 2009. I had been previously able to edit the pages but it’s been blocked for months now, and I’ve received minimal information on why. I was told its because it is extinct, but seeing as thats not an accurate descriptor of the current situation I dont see why a test project on the incubator can’t be allowed. For example, Old Prussian, a language that is in the same situation as Yola, being a previously extinct language with a dedicated revival has a test project on incubator. Any comments on why this is, even if they may seem harsh to the revival movement would be appreciated as we simply don’t know why it is not able to be created, I have had other people reach out to me expressing a desire to help with the project as well, so relaying this information to them is important. --MichaelDMelvin23 (talk) 14:25, 27 March 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi, I am trying to create articles in Yola as well and it doesn't let me. I believe some administrator needs to give us permission to write using that code so I would like to request it as well. The language has an ISO code so I believe there shouldn't be any problem with that. --Caro de Segeda (talk) 14:46, 27 March 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Extinct languages, as has been pointed out to you before, are not allowed for new Wikipedias (see the language proposal policy). Some test-wikis exist here on Incubator for them, but they are relics from before we could enforce this rule automatically. They will eventually be deleted. --MF-W {a, b} 22:31, 27 March 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

But the thing is that it is not extinct. It has been revived and there are speakers using this language. Caro de Segeda (talk) 06:19, 28 March 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
