Copy pasting from the local village pump:

I propose that the namespace "Wikipedia:" be changed to "ውክፔዲያ:". This will change the prefix Wikipedia so that, for example, instead of "Wikipedia:የማያደላ አስተያየት" it will say "ውክፔዲያ:የማያደላ አስተያየት". I also propose a portal namespace to be created. I'm suggesting that it be called "በር፡", but if you prefer something else, add your suggestions. I'm requesting a vote here because community agreement is necessary to change these things. Elfalem 22:12, 22 ኤይፕርል 2011 (UTC)
