Hello All,
I was searching for the following prominent African YouTubers but I did not find their Wikipedia pages. There are several primary sources about them. I was wondering if anyone could create their Wikipedia pages?
Mumbi Seraki – Kenyan
Wode Maya – Ghana
Kindest regards,
Gwinyai

Hello Amir,
Thank you for this great work. I have been enjoying the Yoruba keyboard you designed for me over over three years ago. I am proud to say that in have translated over 250 articles from English Wikipedia to Yoruba Wikipedia using the keyboards and I have trained others on now to use it and they have also translated over 200 articles to Yoruba Wikipedia. Without, this keyboard it's usually uninteresting for native speakers to contribute to Yoruba Wikipedia but that problem has now been mitigated by your work.
Again, thank you so much on behalf of the Yoruba Wikipedia community.
Regards,
Isaac

Hello, and happy Africa day!
[ crossposted to African Wikimedians list, general Wikimedia list, and mediawiki-i18n ]
To celebrate this, I am announcing the completion of a little pet project that I started a year ago: it is now easy to type in all the languages of Africa in which there is a Wikipedia or an active Incubator.
This is available in all Wikimedia projects and in translatewiki.net. This release is intended for desktop and laptop computers. For mobile phones and tablets, I strongly recommend trying apps such as Gboard, SwiftKey, or African Keyboard.
For full details and project description see this blog post:
https://aharoni.wordpress.com/2019/05/25/happy-africa-day-keyboards-for-all-...
Or jump straight into the (easy!!!) technical documentation here:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:UniversalLanguageSelector/Inpu...
These keyboards were tested by myself, and some of them were also tested by a few other people who speak these languages, and as far as I know they are easy to enable and disable and the work correctly. However, it's possible that some things are missing: I could have missed some letters, I could have made mistakes in documentation, I could have missed some languages. Please contact me if you find any problems.
Thanks!
