Approval request for Malayalam Wikivoyage

Dear Language Committee,

The Malayalam Wikivoyage has been consecutively active for last 3 months with 10 active editors. We started our journey on Novermber 2012. Now Wikimedians of Kerala User Group is actively organizing regular workshops and meetings to keep the project active. Our active community has worked to build a repository of travel guides in the incubator. You can find our request here. Kindly consider it and take necessary action. On behalf of Wikimedians of Kerala and Malayalam Wikivoyage Community --Ranjithsiji (talk) 14:21, 27 May 2026 (UTC)

@Ranjithsiji: Hi, and thanks for the request! The activity is looking really good, but 3 months of consecutive activity is on the lower end, so I would like to wait another few weeks to see if the activity level continues in June. If it does, I will then propose its approval to the committee. Jon Harald Søby (talk) 14:40, 28 May 2026 (UTC)

@Jon Harald Søby Thank you for your consideration. The community around Malayalam Wikivoyage is now active and we have long term plans about the project. Also Wikimedians of Kerala UG is actively taking initiatives to move the project forward. We will continue update the project. Regards Ranjithsiji (talk) 16:36, 28 May 2026 (UTC)
