Wikinews/New language pre-launch

These are recommended, but not mandatory procedures for preparations to follow before creating a new language edition of an existing Wikimedia project. The instructions are separated by project.

Wikinews

Translate or write local language equivalents of the following pages:

• n:Wikinews:Main Page - a presentable Main Page for the project. Be especially creative here - no need to duplicate the exact layout of an existing edition.
• n:Wikinews:Mission statement - mission statement of the project, note that this contains material from the Wikinews page here on Meta which may already have been translated.
• n:Wikinews:Article flags - simple templates for flagging problem articles
• n:Wikinews:Administrators - a page for nominating sysops
• n:Wikinews:Water cooler - a place to discuss all kinds of issues, also known as the Village Pump on Wikipedia.
• n:Wikinews:Writing an article - how to write articles
• n:Wikinews:Neutral point of view - a key policy. Note that you can use the existing Wikipedia NPOV policy as a template.

You may want to create:

• n:Wikinews:Original reporting for a basic policy on original reporting
• n:Wikinews:Credentials and related pages for accrediting Wikinews reporters

Please create these documents here on Meta and then put a note on Wikinews/Start a new edition when it is done. As a naming convention, please use [[xy.wikinews Main Page]] or [[Template:xy.wikinews NPOV]], where xy is your language code. Templates and links can be broken while the pages are constructed here on Meta.

Once you are finished, it is recommended that you post a request for creation of the language to foundation-l, pointing out that all formal and informal requirements have been met.

You can use this page to coordinate translating relevant pages. See /Archive for examples.
