 Courtesy link: Template:Welcome-foreign/Hausa

Hello. Can you help verify a brief, English-to-Hausa translation in a welcome template?

Template:Welcome-foreign is a bilingual welcome template used to welcome new users who have written content in some other language besides English. The template welcomes them first in English, then in their own language, as long as it is one of the three dozen languages it can handle. New languages are easily added. I have added support for Hausa, but I don't know Hausa so I used automatic translation to create Template:Welcome-foreign/Hausa from the original at Template:Welcome-foreign/English. I'd appreciate it if a native Hausa speaker could verify or improve the translation. Feel free to edit it directly, or paste a better translation below, if you prefer not to edit a template. Thanks!

Also, if you speak Kinyarwanda, could you check out Template:Welcome-foreign/Kinyarwanda and fix that one up, or suggest improvements below? Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 06:38, 9 February 2026 (UTC)

Mathglot, it might be worth asking active editors in Category:User ha-N and Category:User rw-N as I don’t think most people watch this page Kowal2701 (talk) 12:37, 9 February 2026 (UTC)

Kowal2701, thanks. I tried using the lang categories once before on an unrelated translation issue and found I had to check contributions of ten to twenty editors before finding one still active. Iirc, I finally solved it with a Petscan that could filter on last edit; I'll have to see if I can find that, or reinvent it again. In the meantime, checking the long way I found four at ha-N with an edit this Feb, one at rw-N in Jan, so thanks for the tip!

@Em-mustapha, Sudanian, Ibrahim Sani Mustapha, and Mamman Ali: – can you help with this translation to Hausa? And Irifasum, can you check the Kinyarwanda translation? Mathglot (talk) 19:56, 9 February 2026 (UTC)

Also pinging Salihu Aliyu and Ndahiro derrick, please see above, thank you Kowal2701 (talk) 20:11, 9 February 2026 (UTC)

Hello @Mathglot, thank you for reaching out i'm happy to help with the translation into Hausa. I will review the text and do my best to ensure that the translation is accurate and easy to understand. Ibrahim Sani Mustapha (talk) 20:15, 9 February 2026 (UTC)

Thank you so much! Mathglot (talk) 02:57, 10 February 2026 (UTC)

Done! User:Em-mustapha ^talk 18:41, 12 February 2026 (UTC)

Em-mustapha, thank you very much! P.S. If anyone knows a Kinyarwanda speaker not already mentioned above, can you {{ping}} them for me? Thanks again, Mathglot (talk) 23:32, 12 February 2026 (UTC)

The article Estadio La Libertad has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unreferenced for 18 years. No other language has a reliably sourced article from which to translate. Small, non-notable stadium.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion based on established criteria.

If the proposed deletion has already been carried out, you may request undeletion of the article at any time. Bearian (talk) 02:50, 29 April 2026 (UTC)
