Good day James,
This is a good initiative !
For the templates, they need to be created on the Incubator for that
Wiki, with the title Template:Wp/language_code/Template_name. After
that you can use it as any other templates on other Wikis, but you
need to remember to include the prefix "Wp/language_code".
I guess by your question about dari being recognized as an official
language, you mean the creation of the Wikipedia in Dari with its own
subdomain? If it is the case, you need to go on
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages . Note that
two of the requirements for approval for the creation is to have an
"active" community on the project in the Incubator and that most of
the main MediaWiki messages need to be translated on Translatewiki.
If you have further question, I guess you could ask the Language Committee.

what the steps are to get it approved as an official language? Am hoping to
get the translators to also begin editing Wikipedia. And could also use a
bunch of templates to work.
