Hoi, The bottleneck is associated with NEW languages. So when a new project is requested for an existing language, it is more an issue of how the particular projects deal with this; WikiNews for instance has its own procedure. When a new project is started, it is expected that the language does have a message file that is part of MediaWiki proper. When it is not, it is the ideal moment to make it part of MediaWiki proper; this will prevent that the messages have to be localised yet again.
Thanks, GerardM
PS I take it that calling the committee the "language prevention committee" is supposed to be funny. It is not.

Hi
There is a successful and old request for opening a new wiki not yet fulfilled. Language prevention/creation committee/subcommittee or whatever/anything else, please forgive the MessagexXX.php paranoia and see requests for non-Wikipedias wikis a while.
# [[:oldwikisource:]] have a [[Wikisource:Language domain requests]] page. # This page have at least one successful request for a new Wikisource wiki: Tamil Wikisource (ta.wikisource) ## This have a large community support: http://wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Wikisource:Language_domain_requests&... ## This have "incubator" pages: http://wikisource.org/wiki/Category:Tamil ## This have a bugzilla request: http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6982 ## The MessagesTa.php is avaiable at MediaWiki SVN repository ## There is someone interested on editing in this non-existing exactly now: http://wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3A-jkb-&diff=215093&am... ## I've asked about it on the langcom wiki yesterday but no one apparentlyhave read it.
And, if the language prevention/creation committee/subcommittee or whatever/anything else isn't happy to increase the current amount of Wikimedia wikis, I found a good solution: open the ta.wikisource and close the ang.wikisource. No, no one have deleted the MessagesAng.php from subversion, this apparently has never created, but you can find a vote to close that wiki with large community support at: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_closing_projects/Closure_of_Old...
