I don't know what was intended with Akan exactly. As far as I can see, It was created in 2004, and Twi was created in 2003. I'm not sure what prompted the creation. If anyone knows how to find more documentation about their creation, such as bug reports, talk pages, or configuration file logs, I'll be very thankful.
Maybe that was the intention, but I'm not sure. I might be wrong, but my wild guess is that there was no particular intention behind it, and it was just one of the many wikis created back then without a lot of background checking.
Since 2018, I asked several people to check the content in Akan, and they all said that it's all only Twi (Akuapem and Asante) and not Fante.
At some point I thought that maybe it's good to keep ak for Akuapem and dedicate tw to Asante, but everyone said that Akuapem and Asante are almost the same in writing, while Fante is distinct, and the term "Akan" includes all varieties of Fante and Twi.

Could you briefly explain the relationship with Twi? Was akwiki "intended" to encompass both Twi and Fante, but it turned out they are too dissimilar from each other?

Hi,
I recommend approving the Fante Wikipedia (code "fat"). https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/fat
The activity is good, and the localization is complete.
I've been trying to find an expert, which was surprisingly difficult. I found a teacher on academia.edu, who responded to me as a message on that site that it's indeed Fante, except some spelling errors. It's hard to copy messages from that site, but I hope you trust me :)
If anyone wants to check with another expert, I won't object, but I think that's enough.
