User:Yatalu/Blog:Word of the week/en

Hey Brigadiers, Wikians and other readers!

Another project I was thinking of is a bit more playful. Even though it has to do with language and translation, it is less relevant to our wiki. This project would be a "word of the week" and will be an item that anyone will be able to vote for.

Note: translations can be posted in User:Yatalu/Blog:Word of the week until Wednesday (Feb 13). Voting can be done until the Wednesday after that (Feb 20).

How it will go

 * Every week, the "Word of the week" is hosted by the next participating language in line
 * Languages can pick not to participate if they don't have many users
 * This turn goes alphabetical on prefix (... → fr → it → ja → nl → pl → ...) with English (no prefix) first
 * Languages are warned one month on beforehand
 * Members get one week to nominate words as word of the month
 * Members get three weeks to vote
 * In the last three days of the vote, other languages are advised to look out for translations

Words allowed
Apart from inappropriate language, all words are allowed: because they mean something to you, because they sound funny or because they're trendy.

Voting options
OR
 * 1) Yay, another way to promote languages!
 * 2) Doesn't matter
 * 3) More extra translation work...
 * 1) Sounds like a cool project!
 * 2) Either way is fine
 * 3) We don't really need this...
