Description:
'''Võro Wikipedia'''

Hi!

I asked for creation of [[:en:Võro language|Võro]] Wikipedia last month in foundation-l and in [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages#V.C3.B5ro_Wikipedia. request page]. Angela forwarded it also to the Wikipedia-l.

It was proposed in the discussion that the code for Võro Wikipedia could be for the first time '''fiu-vro''' or '''fiu-voro'''. There
was no objections against creating.

Mark Williamson ([http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikipedia-l/2005-February/037520.html in Wikipedia-l Feb 13]) suggested to ask Brion or TimStarling to create it.

I hope you can do it. If there is something I must do before, please say me. Text on the Võro Wikipedia logo could be:

"Vikipeediä"
"Vaba entsüklopeediä"

Regards

Võro language file for MediaWiki 1.4.0

The file uses "Vr" as Võro language code, which is not official. If you decide
to use some other language code for Võro, the "Vr"-suffixes of the variable
names have to be substituted for the code to be actually used.

attachment LanguageVr.php ignored as obsolete

ISO 639 does not define "vr", so that could be used.

How that could be used if ISO does not define that?
"fiu-voro" could be used instead "vr" for the first time
as was proposed in Wikipedia and Foundations lists
and in Request page:

The files posted are (again) out of date for current version of Mediawiki

language file for fiu-vro

I'm sending Võro language file that has been tested to work with Mediawiki
1.5.0. Version 1.6beta does not seem to be available for download. Could
someone please switch fiu-vro to use the file.

1.6 is not even in the beta stage; it's a pre-pre-pre-alpha, and is not safe for
production server use.

1.6 ... is not safe for production server use.

Which, of course, is why Wikipedia is running on it :)

Of course; I keep confusing versions of wikis running on various servers. :-)

As to Wikimedia's use of it, well, when you have the developer team at your beck
and call, things are a little different, aren't they? ;-)

Website is already created:
http://fiu-vro.wikipedia.org/

For the language file, please follow the guide on meta:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_localisation

and open a new bug :)
