Welcome to the Ghanaian Pidgin Wikipedia!

Hi DaSupremo, and also ping @Yaw tuba, @Gyanford, @Feliciopedro2, @Sunkanmi12, @NanaKojo16, @NanaYawBotar, @Afimaame, @Elkay20 and @Ibn Dagara.

Welcome to the Ghanaian Pidgin Wikipedia! You and all your co-contributors have done a great job so far in getting here, and I would like to congratulate you on finally having the newest official Wikipedia edition! Well done to all of you!

For previous wikis, there have usually been some technical issues that take some time to fix, but for the first time in many years, I think all of the normal technical issues have actually already bene solved now, less than one day after the Wikipedia was created. Visual editor works like it should, the same with the DiscussionTools, Wikidata support has been enabled, and the statistics in Special:Statistics look correct.

But still, if you notice any issues, or if there are things you want to do but aren't able to for some reason, please feel free to reach out to me, and I can help figure out how to solve them.

Best of luck to all of you with your new Wikipedia, and happy editing! 🎉 Jon Harald Søby (talk) 01:07, 6 July 2023 (GMT)

Hello Jon Harald Søby (talk) thanks for that and we are also grateful for your continuous help and support. We would like to fix the use of bare URLS for references. Thanks DaSupremo (talk) 13:48, 6 July 2023 (GMT)

Modifications to the home page

Hello dear DaSupremo I've made a slight modification to the homepage, by adding the number of existing articles. And I designed and programmed a new template for the introduction of the home page. I hope you see it:User:Osps7/Test

With regards--Osps7 (talk) 18:26, 19 August 2023 (GMT)

Wow...thanks for that. Osps7 (talk) It will help us track and remove vandalism on articles. Really grateful DaSupremo (talk) 21:38, 19 August 2023 (GMT)

Important inquiry

Dear DaSupremo, I am trying to work on developing the Ghanaian Pidgin Wikipedia by adding new tools and improving the work of the Ghanaian Pidgin Wikipedia by adding software tools that contribute to increasing effectiveness and contribute to protecting the encyclopedia from vandalism. I'm trying to work on an add-on (MediaWiki:Gadget-autocomplete.js) But I need permissions, how can I request permissions?

With regards--Osps7 (talk) 11:42, 20 August 2023 (GMT)

I think you can propose it on Phabricator and start working on it. DaSupremo (talk) 12:36, 20 August 2023 (GMT)

Suggestions

First off, congratulations on leading the creation of and becoming admin of this Wikipedia, which is still the newest AFAIK. Hope that this project continues to grow and thrive. Onto the suggestions: with regards to the references, I think if you used your admin permissions to import the CS1 citation templates from enwiki it would also take care of the dependent modules. Or maybe someone from the community should file a request on MetaWiki. Documentation templates would also be handy I also think it might be a good idea to add a system or template for handling linguistic issues: for instance, I've already seen a page copied from enwiki with no effort made to translate it (although I can't find the specific page right now). Thanks! MSG17 (talk) 15:43, 24 August 2023 (GMT)

Thanks for the good wishes. I would really need help cos I am not conversant with the templates. I will ask a couple of guys around. Thanks again DaSupremo (talk) 16:34, 24 August 2023 (GMT)

suggestion

Dear DaSupremo, What do you think of the idea of ​​adding a new section to the home page called “In the News” and updating it continuously?--Osps7 (talk) 12:00, 10 September 2023 (GMT)

Sounds good. A very good idea DaSupremo (talk) 12:07, 10 September 2023 (GMT)

Note

Dear @DaSupremo, I hope you are well. Over the past few days, I have developed a bot that I will activate here soon. It will create categories and templates that will help us. Osps7 (talk) 22:03, 3 November 2023 (GMT)

Hello Osps7 (talk), I am good and you? Noted and thanks for the continuous support. We really appreciate it. DaSupremo (talk) 22:21, 3 November 2023 (GMT)

Translation

Hi, could you please translate this to Ghanaian Pidgin?

Guosa is a constructed interlanguage originally created by Alex Igbineweka in 1965. It was designed to be a combination of the indigenous languages of Nigeria and to serve as a lingua franca to West Africa.

It has the following characteristics:

• It is an isolating language with subject–verb–object word order.
• There are no articles.
• There is no grammatical gender or noun class system.
• Most grammatical meaning is expressed through particles that precede the words they modify.
• Adjectives follow the noun.
• Guosa is generally prepositional.

Thank you. --Caro de Segeda (talk) 07:12, 16 November 2023 (GMT)

Hello Caro de Segeda (talk), thanks for reaching out. This is the Ghanaian Pidgin translation:

Importing citation templates

Was looking at importing cite journal, cite book, and cite web. Best way to do this would be to use this tool and select "Include all templates and transcluded pages" https://gpe.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Import

Would be happy to but only certain user groups have permission to use the tool. Best Doc James (talk) 12:30, 26 October 2024 (GMT)

By the way hope to see you do more healthcare translations. Once we get the templates imported things will come through better. Best Doc James (talk) 12:44, 26 October 2024 (GMT)

Thanks Doc James (talk) for this information. It is valuable for us. I have checked it out and I realized it is a good tool. DaSupremo (talk) 14:05, 26 October 2024 (GMT)

Are you able to make me a member of one of these groups "Administrators or Importers" so that I can help. Looking at "Template:Cite book" and not sure it worked properly. Doc James (talk) 23:17, 26 October 2024 (GMT)

No please. But I think you can request for a temporal admin here to enable you carry that task. DaSupremo (talk) 11:05, 27 October 2024 (GMT)

Can you please delete Talk:Audrey Sitsofe Gadzekpo and Talk:Joseph Kwame Kumah? they are orphaned. Best regards, TenWhile6 (talk) 17:01, 14 November 2024 (GMT)

Request for help

Hello @DaSupremo,

My name is Uzoma, I am the Movement Communications Specialist supporting the Wikimedia Language and Product Localization team. I am reaching out because you indicated interest in participating in the Translation suggestions: Topic-based & Community-defined lists project.

We now have the Community-defined list feature in the Content translation tool. We want to approach organisers of Wiki campaigns that involve translation happening now or soon to add the collection tags to their article list. So that people who use the Content translation tool can discover these campaigns and participate directly from the moment they access the tool using their mobile device. The campaign suggestions will be in the "All Collection" category of the Translation suggestion feature in the tool, as illustrated in the GIF below.

Our request

Please help us by providing a list of the campaigns happening in your community and the organisers we can approach to add the tag. This is important to us because we need to learn from its usage for campaigns.

I would appreciate your help connecting me to the campaigns you are preparing for in your community.

I look forward to your response, and please let me know if you need any clarification. Thank you so much!

Best regards, UOzurumba (WMF) (talk) 22:28, 11 February 2025 (GMT)

Hello @UOzurumba (WMF) thanks for reaching out. The Ghanaian Pidgin Wikipedia will be participating in this year's Wiki Loves Ramadan. I will keep you posted when the community participates in subsequent editathons and campaigns. DaSupremo (talk) 22:43, 11 February 2025 (GMT)

Thank you so much, @DaSupremo, for this information. I will keep in touch.

Best regards, UOzurumba (WMF) (talk) 18:47, 13 February 2025 (GMT)

• Jury Members

For the Team, ZI Jony (talk) 05:49, 1 April 2025 (GMT)

Hello ZI Jony ^(Talk), thanks for the message. Please none of the information above were created because I am the only person contributing on the Ghanaian Pidgin Wikipedia participating in the contest. Thanks DaSupremo (talk) 11:00, 1 April 2025 (UTC) DaSupremo (talk) 11:01, 1 April 2025 (GMT)

@DaSupremo, thank you for your efforts. Unfortunately, above requirements are mandatory. I would like to request you to create an local Wikipedia project page (you would be able to copy content from here, and then translate in your local language). Ask others to join with you as local organizer and jury members. ZI Jony (talk) 14:23, 1 April 2025 (GMT)

Thanks. Can I still participate as a participant because we did not apply for a grant to organise this event so we have no funds to award winners and its associated cost? DaSupremo (talk) 14:29, 1 April 2025 (GMT)

@DaSupremo, you still can continue as an local participant. Most of local organizers work without grant, as there are international prizes available. ZI Jony (talk) 14:46, 1 April 2025 (GMT)

Oh okay...thanks. I will set up the local page then. DaSupremo (talk) 15:10, 1 April 2025 (GMT)

Hello @ZI Jony, Thanks for the message. I have some reservations about the Winner of the campaign. I do not understand the language but it is clear when an article is created in a particular language. Most of their contributions (from what I sampled) where actually 'discussion pages' rather than translated articles. See this, this, this and most could be found on the Xtool. Moreover, they were not even registered on the dashboard as we were told it was a requirement. On the dashboard, only 241 articles where created in the Bangla Wikipedia. I might be wrong but their results need to be reviewed to ensure fairness and transparency. Thank you. DaSupremo (talk) 08:03, 27 May 2025 (GMT)

DaSupremo, I believe that the same question you maybe asked to Dnshitobu earlier! Mostly tracking categories are used in the talk page of the articles for almost all Wikipedia, including Bangla and English Wikipedia. They use a template on the article talk page where a description also placed, instead of using on the main articles. Using dashboard were not a mandatory tool, because many wikis' developed thier own jury tools, like Bangla, Ukrainian, even English Wikipedia also used a different tool called Fountain, it’s depend on local organizers which tool they are comfortable to use. Bangla Wikipedia was submitted 1806 articles, due to non-relevant issue they removed several articles. For you clarity, Bangla Wikipedia was looking for additional jury members to complete thier jury process in time, and I joined to help then, in the meantime I have re-reviewd several articles. So, I believe that the jury process were well strictured and trusted. I kindly request you to provide the details you have been asked at your earliest convenience. Additional inquiry, are you attending EduWiki Conference 2025? Or, someone who can receive your gift and certificate from the conference let me know in the same email. Thank you! ZI Jony (talk) 10:51, 27 May 2025 (GMT)

Ok...thanks for the detailed explanation. DaSupremo (talk) 11:03, 27 May 2025 (GMT)

Hi DaSupremo, I need your help about this article because is a crosswiki spam, for more details please check: this report from Dutch Wikipedia. Thank you. Taichi (talk) 23:48, 16 October 2025 (GMT)

Hello @Taichi. Thanks for reaching out and well noted. DaSupremo (talk) 00:01, 17 October 2025 (GMT)

Samata (fashion entrepreneur)

Hi DaSupremo, I noticed that you expanded this article in 2023 by translating content from English Wikipedia. The English Wikipedia article was deleted earlier this year as most of the sources were found to be spam or unreliable. Other language Wikipedias like French, Arabic, Swahili and Igbo have also deleted this article on similar grounds. It seems the original English article was written by a spammer for promotional purposes, therefore the Ghanaian Pidgin article (which was primarily translated from English) should also be deleted. Let me know your thoughts. Acoustical (talk) 19:16, 25 November 2025 (GMT)

Hello @Acoustical. Thanks for reaching out and well noted. Since it has been deleted from other language Wikipedias, I think it should be deleted too on the Ghanaian Pidgin WIkipedia. DaSupremo (talk) 22:32, 25 November 2025 (GMT)
