Welcome to Wikimedia Incubator!
At the right there are some important links, and here are some tips and info:
- If you haven't created a user page yet, please create one with for example Babel templates on it.
- You can select your interface language in your preferences.
- If you make articles, templates or categories, don't forget to add a prefix!
- If your knowledge of English is good, you can help with translating pages to other languages you know, so more people can understand it!
- If you want to translate the interface, please go to Translatewiki.net and follow the instructions.
3 pages, that created by you and starts from "Wp/rwr/wp/mwr/" edit
Hello, sorry for my rwr-0, the problem is that due to communication problems within langcom-l (e.g. [1] from GerardM), they probably haven't consensus on using mwr which is Marwari Macrolanguage, and after some private discussions that I don't heard, they decided to use rwr which means Marwari (India), as they think most of contributors are from India, neither from Pakistan, nor from Nepal, so please in the future, when creating pages under this test project, please please and please just use prefix Wp/rwr, do not use Wp/mwr anymore. --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 13:59, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
- Such discussion as there was happened here.
- Basically, the reasoning included two factors:
- All of the content in the test to date was in rwr already.
- LangCom tends to prefer not to create tests in macrolanguages. That doesn't mean it doesn't happen sometimes, and there are plenty of tests in macrolanguages that were grandfathered into the policy. But it's not the preference.
- Considering both of these factors—and since I could not get anyone else on LangCom to discuss this explicitly, I felt the simpler solution was to let the test be coded as rwr instead of mwr. If you want to contribute in something that you don't really think is rwr, you have a couple of choices:
- Talk with others in the rwr test community about how inclusive they would like it to be in the long run. If and when the test is ready for final approval, if the test community has allowed it to include all of mwr, then the approved wiki will, too.
- Create a test in a different constitutent language of the mwr macrolanguage. StevenJ81 (talk) 14:58, 3 May 2018 (UTC)
