Fur Wikipedia

I would like to translate into Fur, ISO 639 code "fvr". Dinkawiki (talk) 11:49, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

Inquiry is related to Old Mon (omx)

I would like to know if it is possible to build an Old Mon wiki like the Old English wiki, but I wish to build an Old Mon wiki for the preservation of the Old Mon language. I myself am an ancient researcher, and I want to preserve the Old Mon language so that it does not disappear, but I would also like to know the views of the wiki officials, thanks.𝓓𝓻.𝓘𝓷𝓽𝓸𝓫𝓮𝓼𝓪|𝒯𝒶𝓁𝓀 08:41, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

It will not be enabled for interface translation on translatewiki according to the policy on Translatewiki.net languages: "Our current policy for accepting a new language for localisation at translatewiki.net is [...] that it should be a living language and a general purpose language".

It's not directly related to translatewiki, but I will also mention that the Language proposal policy for creating new Wikipedia sites says that a Wikipedia site cannot be created in ancient languages. It is possible to create a Wikisource site in ancient languages, but the recommendation is that such languages should be bundled with the modern equivalent Wikisource project. There is already a start of a Wikisource in the Mon language: Main Page/mnw. I recommend writing texts in both Modern and Old Mon there. If you and your friends organize many Mon texts there well, a full-fledged Mon Wikisource site will be created at its own domain: mnw.wikisource.org.

Some ancient languages, like Old English and Pali, have their own editions of Wikipedia. They were created long ago, and the current policy doesn't allow creating new ones. Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 15:41, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
