Change 612888 merged by Dzahn:
[operations/dns@master] Add avk to the langlist helper

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/612888

18:00 < mutante> !log DNS - new language 'avk' has been added - This language is called Kotava and is "a proposed international auxiliary language (IAL) that focuses especially on the principle of cultural neutrality". Learn more at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kotava

avk.wikipedia.org is an alias for dyna.wikimedia.org.
Dzahn moved this task from Backlog to Working on on the User-Urbanecm board.

I'm test-administrator of this project in the Incubator. If some precisions are needed, I can give them, I think. Cheers.

@Urbanecm
Hi!
Etc/GMT is the code for Greenwich international hour.
Since Kotava is an international auxiliary language, we think this default affectation is logical.

The code is from [[wikipedia:List_of_tz_database_time_zones]] (middle of the list), as:
Status : Canonical
UTC offset ±hh:mm : +00:00
UTC DST offset ±hh:mm : +00:00

Hi!
A precision that can be useful. In Kotava, the standard for most punctuation marks, as ( ) ~ ; « » ! ? – —, they must be separated from the text, by unbreakable spaces. For this reason, it has become customary to insert them in articles in the form of (&nbsp; &nbsp;) ~&nbsp; &nbsp;; «&nbsp; &nbsp;» &nbsp;! &nbsp;? etc. Unless a better solution* could be found, they should be kept by not converting to simple spaces.

  • I would gladly suggest the possibility of having new, simple "magic symbols" for writing articles in the future.

For example, by __ or ::

  • (__ | __ ) : (::Europa::) = (&nbsp;Europa&nbsp;)
  • «:: | ::» : «::Europa::» = «&nbsp;Europa&nbsp;»
  • ::? : Tokdume__? = Tokdume&nbsp;?
  • ~__ : ~__gindik kaliyir. = ~&nbsp;gindik kaliyir.

etc.

Ciao. Quando sarà disponibile il nuovo spazio avk.wikipedia.org? Grazie.

Quoting from Wiki-Setup (Create): "Creating new wikis is not a priority for Operations / Wikimedia-Site-requests, as it's a cumbersome process that involves many steps and many people. Therefore some time can elapse between the approval of the creation and the actual creation of the wiki. Please be patient. Thanks for your understanding."

Yes and also worth mentioning that some steps need time to take into affect otherwise the created wiki will be broken. Do you want to have a broken wiki that doesn't work?

@Urbanecm, @Ladsgroup, I'm not aware of the technical difficulty of these operations, so please forgive me. And this project is quite big since it already counts more than 10000 articles and every day 10 or 20 new ones are created. I'm in a hurry to stop having to put the wp/avk prefix everywhere. And a thousand thanks in advance to you for your work for the whole community. Mile grazie. :)

@ClaudiaVisentini Sure, I totally understand that eagerness :). I just wanted to point out that it's not like "pressing a button".

This can/should be discussed elsewhere. I have offered my own suggestions at incubator:User talk:Nevatovol.

@Urbanecm should this new wiki be used to try and reproduce T235885: DannyS712 wasn't attached to SUL at banwiki? See T235885#5587060 for (theoretical) reproduction steps

Well, if you want, that is fine with me - if you need anything imported, ping me on IRC and I'll be happy to do that for you.

Sure. I've flagged this task so that I won't forget. Any idea when the wiki is scheduled to go live?

At the earliest, when all wikis are at wmf.1. The plan is to do so sometime this week.
