main page Request for a new language edition: Wikivoyage Indonesian
submitted verification final decision
Applications-system.svg This language has been verified as eligible.
The language is eligible for a project, which means that the subdomain can be created once there is an active community and a localized interface, as described in the language proposal policy. You can discuss the creation of this language project on this page.

Once the criteria are met, the language committee can proceed with the approval and notify the Board of Trustees for a possible veto.

If you think the criteria are met, but the project is still waiting for approval, feel free to notify the committee and ask them to consider its approval.

A committee member provided the following comment:

No doubts about the eligibility of the language; when the activity criteria are fulfilled, it can be approved.. --MF-W 13:31, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
  • 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:

Indonesian Wikivoyage logo

Indonesian has 23 million native speakers and 140 million second language speakers, who speak it alongside their local mother tongue. It is used extensively as a first language by Indonesians in urban areas, and as a second language by those residing in more rural parts of Indonesia. I hope Indonesian visitors can understand to using Wikivoyage with local languange, also presenting Indonesian culture to the world. Bonaditya (talk) 04:38, 23 December 2012 (UTC)

  • Support Why? it already has 336 pages on Article spaces, and it will grow even more as you already know so many Indonesian speaker out there (Also, sorry MF warburg some of these people can't understand English so their argument will be just showing their support rather than showing their reason why they supporting it).--AldNonUcallin?☎ 12:57, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
  • Support This language version is primaryly intended to give Indonesians a travel guide about local destinations as well as more established international one. It become relevant because not many Indonesians who need local travel guide can (and willing to) read English. ArdWar(TCL) 19:23, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
