Pānui: Wiktionary Māori

Kia ora koutou, he kaiwhakahaere matua ahau nō te Wikipedia Māori. He pānui tēnei kia mōhio ai koutou mō te āhua o tēnei o ngā wikipedia, o te Wiktionary Māori. Tāku nei whakaaro, he koretake rawa, pai ake kia mukua. Ko te take he takahi i te mana o te reo rangatira, nā te mea he tāpepa rawa te reo o taua paetukutuku. He kaikōrero Pākehā katoa ngā tāngata i tuhituhi ngā pānui. Ka nui taku whakamā, he kino rawa te reo.

Hello, I am a bureaucrat at Māori Wikipedia. I am going to propose on Meta that this project, the Māori Wiktionary, be closed. The reasons are

• That it is not working and is not attracting enough interest to warrant keeping it going. It depends I think on the Wikipedia Māori as a source of editors, but that project has also been pretty static and shows little sign of kicking into real life and will not be able to spark anything at Wiktionary Māori for a long time to come if ever.
• The home page is in English, not in Māori - because it has never attracted Māori speakers
• The menus are in a mix of broken Māori and English, mainly English
• The Māori that is used on the site is embarrassingly bad. It was written by English speakers who had never even learnt Māori, and were using dictionaries. One example, the link to Special Pages is called "Tino Pai". That means "Very good".
• The quality of the language is damning for a dictionary site - because it also reflects on the quality of the entries such as they are.
• It would be better to delete the site and start it over again afresh if native speakers of Māori began showing an interest.

Mā koutou pea e whakaatu ō whakaaro mō te kaupapa nei Kahuroa 01:28, 20 Poutū-te-rangi 2010 (UTC)

Kua tīmata te kōrero mō te kaupapa nei, ā, ka taea te whakaputa i ō koutou whakaaro i te poti i konei Kahuroa 06:23, 21 Paenga-whāwhā 2010 (UTC)

Tena koe Kahuroa. Katahi ano kua kimi au i te rauemi nei. Kei runga noa atu kua whakau te kamupene o Wikipedia i to tatau reo rangatira. Ko te wawata ka whakapaoho atu te katoa o nga waka tinana o te reo i te ahuatanga o te papakupu nei. Kaore e kore kua whakapaoho atu ke koe ki a Glenis ma o Te Taura Whiri. Ka whakatakotoria e au he korero a pukaamata kia mohio te katoa. --Te Karere 10:39, 12 Whiringa-ā-rangi 2011 (UTC)
