Description

The name Wiktionary is a tounge twister for Nias-speaking people. Since 2020 there has been discussion about this mainly in the WhatsApp group, where the community members are mostly active and responsive and recently at https://nia.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Monganga_afo#Famulö'ö_Wiktionary_tobali_Wikikamus

We are requesting the change of the namespace Wiktionary into Wikikamus.

Thank you in advance.

Yes, please.

Edit: Terribly sorry I didn't realise that the logo should be in SVG format. I thought the Wiktionary-logo-nia.png was enough.

Please give me a bit more time to modify the Wiktionary-logo2-nia.png file, that is used as the site logo at the moment

Edit 2: If this wait is disruptive to the ongoing workflow, please change the sitename. Our community can file a separate request for logo change in the future.

I can work on logo, and change it along with sitename and project namespace

@Slaia ,

Thank you very much.

Unfortunately we don't have people who know to create graphics. So it would have taken longer, as we have to request it from Wikimedia Indonesia.
