adding images to Commons to add local names in Wikidata and possibly create new

Over the next few months, he will be working on the initial list of 124 
different species of wild flowers found in the Punjab region as a pilot. 



Your feedback will be deeply appreciated.

[Wikimediaindia-l] Launching Indic Wikimedia Portal

2019-05-22 Thread sushant savla 
Dear All



During Wiki Advanced Training in June 2018 in Ranchi, the participants thought 
of a common platform to cater to various needs of Indian communities, which may 
be a platform to discuss things concerning multiple communities or tech needs, 
among several others. In Ranchi, it was decided to include space for general 
discussion and technical support. 



Meanwhile, the idea of the portal was under the formulation; in the subsequent 
the events such as Wikigraphists Bootcamp, TWLCon (2019 India) etc. new 
suggestions came to include the

tabs pertaining to graphics and resource exchange. After Indic Wikisource 
Community Consultation 2018, "Indic wiki source Help Page" was started and we 
already know Jay is doing an amazing job with the "Indic TechCom" for the tech 
needs. Though the latter two have been created individually, we have linked it 
from this portal, and bring all of them under one umbrella.



The portal is now ready with necessary pages, and it has been titled “Indic 
Wikimedia Portal”. 

Link: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Indic_Wikimedia_Portal



Please go through the tabs, and post any questions you may have to the talk 
page. This has been a long-standing need, it would only be successful if all 
use it proactively, and also encourage our community members to do the same.



This is just a start, and if you feel there is a need for the page on a new 
theme, you are welcome to start a discussion regarding the same. Eventually, it 
can become a one-stop point for various needs of Indian communities.



Thanks and regards,

Jinoy, Krishna, Manavpreet, and Sushant.

Last year Tony Thomas was the primary trainer. This year Jay Prakash will
lead the training, and Srishti Sethi is helping in the planning,
participation selection, program structuring.

If any community members from India, who are working on MediaWiki, would
