Balinese Misplaced Pages (Balinese: Wikipédia Basa Bali) is the edition of Misplaced Pages in the Balinese language. The Balinese Misplaced Pages generally follows the basic rules of Indonesian Misplaced Pages. The Balinese Misplaced Pages was in the project incubator Wikimedia, since the incubator page was created in 2005 until October 2019.
There are 27,075 articles in the Balinese Misplaced Pages. In February 2022, there were 46 active editors who made at least one edit in that month.
History
The Balinese Misplaced Pages was planned for its birth since 2005. On June 29, 2005, the first proposal received 10 endorsements but none developed. The second proposal, dated 21 November 2006, was submitted with 15 votes in favor of Wikipedian. Unfortunately both proposals were rejected due to a lack of native speakers. Although there are many supporters for the birth of the Balinese Misplaced Pages, the absence of native speakers of the language itself in the way Misplaced Pages is created is the main cause of the failure. Since 2006, Wikimedia Foundation has issued a policy that language requests on Misplaced Pages must be born from a minimum of 5 active contributors from native speakers who will release Misplaced Pages in a new language. Therefore, no matter how many people support the creation of a new language Misplaced Pages, without the involvement of native speakers, the results will not be there.
The third proposal was submitted in 2010. Together with the proposal Minangkabau Misplaced Pages, this proposal became a special discussion at the LangCamp 2012 event at University of Indonesia. At that time, the pages Minangkabau Misplaced Pages and the Balinese Misplaced Pages were already under trial at Wikimedia Incubator. Because at that time already had active contributors, the Minangkabau language Misplaced Pages was launched only two months after the event was held. Unfortunately, once again the hopes that had been fostered in the Balinese Misplaced Pages had to be dashed. However, the proposal for the third Balinese Misplaced Pages was not rejected, but was left open until there were native speakers who were really ready to work on it.
From 2012 to 2018, little effort was made on the Balinese Misplaced Pages in the Incubator. In the second half of 2017, the Balinese Misplaced Pages was briefly introduced in the Indonesian Misplaced Pages training in Singaraja. The same thing was also done in Denpasar in July 2018. The results were nil.
In early 2018, Project Ganesha which was held by Wikimedia Indonesia announced I Wayan Nadiantara as the first winner. Nadi as a Balinese speaker was then introduced by Wikimedia Indonesia staff to the Balinese Misplaced Pages at the Incubator. The Balinese Misplaced Pages vacuum period since 2012 ended when Nadi began actively editing there in August 2018. Because it was impossible for the Balinese Misplaced Pages to be done alone, Nadi was introduced to Joseagush, an active contributor to the Indonesian Misplaced Pages who lives in Bali. Joseagush himself only found out about the Balinese Misplaced Pages when he was involved in the Indonesian Misplaced Pages training in July 2018. Nadi also became acquainted with the pioneer of the Balinese Misplaced Pages Instagram account, Thanasis Soultatis, who was originally a Yogyakarta Wikipedian, but now lives in Denpasar. In addition, a lecturer at the Faculty of Balinese Literature at Udayana University named I Gede Gita Purnama was introduced to Nadi because of his interest in the plan to develop a Balinese Misplaced Pages after being invited by a friend Sundanese Misplaced Pages named Ilham Nurwansah.
On 5 April 2019, the first ground coffee was finally held by bringing the four people together. The ground coffee discussed the first Balinese Misplaced Pages training for the public. The training was then held the next day at DILo Denpasar with 18 participants who were professionals and students in the field of Balinese language. From the training, three Udayana University students were able to show their resilience in writing on the Balinese Misplaced Pages. Ni Kadek Ayu Sulastri, Siti Noviali, and Luh Gede Krismayanti became excellent seeds from the results of the training.
Since the first training, three more Balinese Misplaced Pages trainings have been held in Denpasar. The Denpasar Wikimedia community was formed in August 2019 and chaired by Ayu Sulastri. Although not many trainees can endure editing on the Balinese Misplaced Pages in the Incubator, community members with more than 5 people can consistently edit. It is able to meet the requirements specified by the Wikimedia Foundation. One of the conditions for launching a new Misplaced Pages is that there are at least 5 volunteers who edit at least 10 times a month and must be consistent for at least 3–5 months.
On 7 October 2019, Jon Harald Søby, member of the Language Committee at the Wikimedia Foundation proposed the launch of the Balinese Misplaced Pages with the address ban.wikipedia.org. The name 'ban' is the ISO 639 code for Balinese. The process of migrating pages from Wikimedia Incubator to the new address took one day to finish on 14 October. On that date, the Balinese Misplaced Pages officially became part of the worldwide Misplaced Pages family, which was available in 304 languages at the time.
Approved as Misplaced Pages
As of October 2019, the number of articles on the Balinese language incubator page reached more than 1,400 articles written by its contributors. Previously, on 10 October, the request to redirect the incubator page to the Balinese Misplaced Pages was approved by the Wikimedia Foundation admin after verification with Balinese linguists was completed via the translatewiki site.
On 14 October 2019, Indonesian time, or 15 October 2019 for the Wikimedia Foundation admin server, the Balinese Misplaced Pages was released and accessed online.
