السلام عليكم
أقترح أن يكون الرابط هو
https://arbcom-ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

مثل رابط الإنجليزية، مع تغيير حرفي
ar

كذلك أقترح أن يكون الزميل
Lokas
إداري مؤقت فيها، بحيث يقبل عضوية الأعضاء المنتخبين فور إعلان النتيجة، ويُعطي كل واحد منهم صلاحية إداري، ثم يقوم أحدهم بمنع حساب
Lokas
ويتولى الأعضاء المنتخبون إدارة تلك الويكي.

ولاحقا -بعد عام- عند التجديد النصفي يقوم أحدهم بمنع حسابات الأعضاء المنتهية ولايتهم، ويقبل الأعضاء الُجدد

وتتكرر تلك الخطوة الأخيرة كل عام مع التجديد النصفي

شكرا لكم.

Hi @Aklapper,

I have updated the task description according to the dedicated wiki creation form and added the requested configuration details.

Could you please confirm whether the request is now in the correct format, or if there is any information that should be added, removed, or changed before the request can proceed?

Thank you!

We decided to change the pattern. It shouldn't be a subdomain of wikipedia.org anymore. It's reserved for content projects.

Could you please confirm whether the request is now in the correct format

Hi, I cannot, but if you followed the form then I would assume that it should be :)

Looking at the pre-existing wikis following the same pattern, wikipedia-${lang}-arbcom.wikimedia.org, this looks good to me.

[operations/puppet@production] Add Apache configuration for wikipedia-ar-arbcom.wikimedia.org

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/1339694

Hello colleagues,

Just for clarification, my colleague Ibrahim (user: Mr. Ibrahem) and I are members of the council. Therefore, it would be preferable, at this stage, to transfer the site administration to us so that we can provide you with our email addresses and begin setting up the website and adding the other members to it.

Thank you for your cooperation.
