Request for a new language edition: Wiktionary Moksha

submitted verification final decision 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.

• 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:

Discussion

I think that it's not a bad idea to start the Wiktionary in Moksha. There's a number of native speakers of this language and Wiktionary might be useful for them and those who learn Moksha. --Comp1089 (talk) 08:33, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

There is a need to start Wiktionary in Moksha due to increasing interest to the laguage and recent official norms and terminology revisions in Moksha language--Numulunj pilgae (talk) 08:41, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

Wiki dictionary will be a good base for old and new vocabulary (1930s and 1990s) with literature quotations and etymology info. --Moxelanus (talk) 13:29, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
