Just one small clarification wgTranslateNumerals = by 'default' => true, so during importing content from mul.wikisource, all Page: namespace need to be convert Indic Hindi numerical , like https://wikisource.org/wiki/Page:कपालकुण्डला.djvu/3 should https://hi.wikisource.org/wiki/Page:कपालकुण्डला.djvu/३ at new domain.

If someone makes the WikimediaMessages step I can review/merge it.

Also, being a Wikisource, make sure we have ProofreadPage translations into Hindi, including special page names and aliases. Thank you.

Can we move forward here? What are the blocking issues, if any? I would like to raise the priority.

Hi @Yann, we experienced some major problems with the script we use to create new wikis. We would like to know the root cause of thoose isues before we decide to try to create other wikis. Raising priority is not possible, priority field should reflect the reality, not wishes. Due to complexity of new wiki creation, new wiki tasks are generally low priority. Ping @Ladsgroup, as he experienced those major issues. Can you please confirm/deny what I said?

Yes, that's true. I will give these another try next week but first we need to make sure this doesn't cause issues.

@Ladsgroup Are thre any tickets describing what are the script problems that this task should depend on?

I explained in-depth in T210752#5167695

Is there a proposed timeline on this and T210752? Is there information I need to get from the contributor communities to help move this along?

@StevenJ81 Hi, all wiki creations are blocked on T212881. That's a technical problem, and a wiki cannot be technically created.

Responded at T210752.

Great! Thanks a lot to all who helped!

Did anyone ping @MF-Warburg or @jhsoby and ask them to start copying content into this wiki? And is this task properly closed until that happens?

As a note for the future, the Main Page should remain as-is with the warning to wait to edit until importing has taken place. It should probably be reverted right now.

I am aware of this. that's what we have the newprojects mailing list for.

OK. Thanks, MF-W. As far as I can tell, the Wiki wasn't even created with the customary warning page up front. But I'll let others sort that out.

We know, but that was exactly the issue this time. The wiki creation magic created main page in a way that caused fatal error upon viewing. Hence, it was deleted server-side and re-created with some content.

Yup, that part is broken :).

The "classic" main page is in place.

Could you please anyone import all the pages (ns:0)/Index files/Pages?

Importing Index files is not a good Idea, as they are generally internally localized. They should be recreated from scratch, IMO. But first, ProofredPage should be configured, at least:

• MediaWiki:Proofreadpage index template
• MediaWiki:Proofreadpage pagenum template

and possibly

• MediaWiki:Proofreadpage index data config
• MediaWiki:Proofreadpage header template

should be created.
(there are few other configuration pages, but they are not critical)
And admin/global interface editor or steward rights are needed to do this.

Maybe, a Hindi speaking user should get admin rights for this to create the pages properly localized?

I'm not sure why people think of Jhs, as he did not volunteer "in general" by being in the new wikis importer group ;) but I have already planned to do this.

I thought he might be in training to join ... ;)

Thanks @Ankry for your comments. Presently there are 28,307 Page: and 40+ associate Index files. So are you advice to do this again start from scratch ?

I can do this all configuration if I have interface admin access.

Ankry is only talking about the index pages, not the page pages (hehe). However, there shouldn't be any problem importing the index pages. We did that for the Neapolitan Wikisource, and it worked just like it should. As long as the parameter names used in [[MediaWiki:Proofreadpage index template]] stay the same, the index pages will work when imported. If you want to we can translate the parameter names, but there is basically no advantage to doing so, since those will never normally be read or used by humans. Doing so would also require changing the index page code while importing, and I think it's an unnecessary complication.

Yes, but in the default Index configuration field names are in Hindi:
https://hi.wikisource.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=revisions&titles=Index:Test.pdf&rvslots=*&rvprop=timestamp|user|content&format=xml
While in mul.ws they are in English:
https://wikisource.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=revisions&titles=Index:%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%AE%E0%A4%9A%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%A4%20%E0%A4%AE%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%A8%E0%A4%B8%20%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%AE%E0%A4%A8%E0%A4%B0%E0%A5%87%E0%A4%B6%20%E0%A4%A4%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%AA%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%A0%E0%A5%80.pdf&rvslots=*&rvprop=timestamp|user|content&format=xml
Yes, if we copy Index configuration from mul.ws to hi.ws, import should work (the "Language" field is rather not needed in hi.ws, but this is not a problem). And this should be done prior to importing indexes.

Later changing the internal field names (to Hindi, as they are in the initial configuration) may be a pain, however. If it is ever intended.

It is easily done with a bot, luckily, I have done it before. :-)

Is there any technical issue preventing importing at this point, or have you just not gotten around to it yet? (trying to ask this in the nicest way ;)

I just ask because a week's delay between wiki creation and announcement of same at Incubator:Site_creation_log (along with notice of impending importing) usually indicates something has gone wrong…

We are waiting for T233365 to be resolved.

Already was done, just no one closed it. Fixed :)

@MF-Warburg and @jhsoby: another week has passed and nothing has been imported beyond a test page by Jon. Is there some other reason for the delay besides T233365, which was resolved? Was some problem revealed when the test page was imported?

I am holding off announcing the opening of the wiki at m:Wikimedia_News until importing is done. And even though the wiki's Main Page warns users not to edit the wiki, that has not stopped users from creating pages there (I don't know if any of them will be overwritten when importing is done).

(I have not opened a separate task about this because I assume that would not actually help.)

@Dcljr: no pages will be overwritten when importing is done because all are new. We are already keeping this thing in mind. We waited for a week but nothing was happening. We don't know what's going on? What is still required to import pages? It's hard to wait so we started creating pages. It's almost three weeks and we don't have even basic proofreading templates and codes. It's really frustrating and disappointing.

I have imported all Hindi-specific pages now (everything that was in the Hindi category on mulwikisource). What remains are templates that are used by several languages in mulwikisource (such as {{rh}}), and any pages that may be missing from the category. Thanks to T234892, local administrators (when the wiki gets some) can use Special:Import to import any missing templates and other pages as needed. I have also applied for temporary bot status for my bot in order to move the imported pages in the page namespace from Latin numerals to Hindi numerals.

@jhsoby, is this finished yet? I'm just looking to see if (a) I should clear the task identifier from the "closed" section of Meta:Requests for new languages, and (b) I should mark the importation on Incubator's Site creation log as complete or still in progress.

The import is done as far as I can tell. There may be a few remnant pages that were not categorized properly, but I think we've caught most of those as well. The site creation log seems to be done, I'll fix the RFL thing now.
