Welcome to Kiswahili Wikipedia!

We welcome you even if you don't speak Kiswahili. For a bot flag go to this site. If you try to edit entries as a non-speaker, it is better to first communicate with one of our admins who can advise you. You may find them at Wikipedia:Wakabidhi. And, please:

  • do not post computer translated texts (like Google Translate, Content Translation, etc. all do not work for Swahili)
  • nor copied texts/images from other webs to this site!
  • do not use links to commercial pages, never post anything that looks like advertising.

As a newcomer we advise that you register your email. This will not be visible to others but it allows us to notify you, which often is helpful in case of problems.

Tahajia ya kifaransa[hariri chanzo]

Mpendwa umebadilisha tahajia ya maneno mengi kwa kawaida ya kifaransa. Naomba utafakari kama mtumiaji wa Afrika ya Mahsaraiki anaweza kukuta viungo hivi asipojua kuweka accents hizo zote!

Dear, nice that you know French. As I see you change the spelling to French norms- did you consider how the average East African user will ever find the links you change if he does not know how to use accents? If you have no answer I advise

  • stop to keep on changing
  • put redirects to all links for which you have changed the spelling.

Otherwise there is high probability you made these links more or less useless. ok? Please answer before you keep on changing.Kipala (majadiliano) 20:07, 2 Mei 2015 (UTC)[jibu]

Hi Alpinu, thx for the fast reaction. Please go ahead with the redirects. For eample, you may have noticed that our lemma for the country is labeled Cote d'Ivoire, whereas the text itself starts with Côte d'Ivoire; the article can be reached via redirects Côte d'Ivoire, Ivori Coast , Ivory Coast , Kodivaa. Orthography is often fluent in Swahili, and same for form of names of distant places that is why we amply work with redirects. As you have a nose for French names - be welcome to do redirects (without accents) also to other Lemmas which are there with accent - like e.g. Saint-Etienne as a redirect for Saint-Étienne. Reason is - where we have accent (similar for Spanish ~ etc) either someone copied from a different language wikipedia or a Non-Swahili-Speaker like you started a stub. But nearly no East African user will know how to write an accent on his keyboard... It is not a problem for searching as the search-function in wikipedia ignores accents, as far as I can see.. But if someone writes a link into an article it will not connect if the lemma is with accent and no redirect in place. Kipala (majadiliano) 06:26, 3 Mei 2015 (UTC)[jibu]

Wikipedia is getting 15 years - WMF projects - translation of Wikidata labels and descriptions[hariri chanzo]

lang=sw : ?lang=sw&props=31,218,219,220,506,1406&q=claim[1800]Kiswahili

Dear Alpinu; There will be a birthday soon: Wikipedia is getting 15 years. I want to let you know that the number of d:Wikidata:Database reports/WMF projects there is also the page Wikipedia versions has increased to more then 409; there are also pages from Wikibook project pages to Wikiversity and Wiktionary project pages in that list. You may be interested in adding Wikidata labels and descriptions in your language. Only a few, maybe five. Please follow also the discussion at d:property talk:P218 and comment there.
Maybe you can translate this and use it somewhere: If this is your first edit at wikidata: First go to Wikipedia_versions?setlang=sw. This will select the interface language for you. Then open the label links you want to translate in a new browser tab for each link. You should see an edit button and you should be able to insert the label in the corresponding field using a click/doubleklick. Same for the description and alias. Save your changes and go to another label link from the main list. Good luck!
