ŴaYao
I think ŴaYao (ŵa kumafumilo gha dazi gha Afilika) should just be called ŴaYao since the Asian one isn’t notable for Tumbuka readers. CubanoBoi (pakuchezgela) 13:16, 9 Epulelo 2023 (UTC)
- @CubanoBoi That sounds perfect. "Move" may be required then. Tumbuka Arch★★★ 17:00, 9 Epulelo 2023 (UTC)
- Do you have the translation for "ward"? CubanoBoi (pakuchezgela) 23:09, 10 Epulelo 2023 (UTC)
- @CubanoBoi Yes and it is "chigaŵa" Tumbuka Arch★★★ 18:06, 13 Epulelo 2023 (UTC)
- didn't you say it was long? CubanoBoi (pakuchezgela) 18:15, 13 Epulelo 2023 (UTC)
- you mean wrong? Tumbuka Arch★★★ 18:49, 13 Epulelo 2023 (UTC)
- No, you said it was long, I believe archive 8. Also I think we should have Lsjbot, that’s used on Cebuano Wikipedia. CubanoBoi (pakuchezgela) 21:00, 14 Epulelo 2023 (UTC)
- Can we call for this bot? Of course it will be great. Tumbuka Arch★★★ 21:10, 14 Epulelo 2023 (UTC)
- What will this bot be doing? Creating articles? Tumbuka Arch★★★ 21:12, 14 Epulelo 2023 (UTC)
- @CubanoBoi I think if we summon a bot to create thousands of articles here like the Swedish and Cebuano wikis did through the help of Lsjbot, all our efforts here will be forgotten and erased. Everyone will think this wiki is big because of the bot that will be summoned. That also poses a risk of a wiki to be deleted. Cebuano wiki was once scheduled for deletion, in fact it was closed abit. I suggest getting a decent bot that performs normal duties as in other wikis such as enwiki, eswiki and dewiki. This is merely my idea, what do you think about this? Tumbuka Arch★★★ 21:23, 14 Epulelo 2023 (UTC)
- I like it, like the reference bot to added a cite web template to all refs that are just url, and many more. CubanoBoi (pakuchezgela) 21:27, 14 Epulelo 2023 (UTC)

Edgar de Wahl
Hi! I would like to ask you what it means the yellow highlight here. --Caro de Segeda (pakuchezgela) 10:07, 15 Epulelo 2023 (UTC)
- It means the point is important in that subject. You can revert it if you want. Won't mind. Tumbuka Arch★★★ 15:51, 15 Epulelo 2023 (UTC)
Town names
Hi, I saw that all the town names you created in Malawi are of the districts. I’m wondering if you want all town names made all over the town to be have second level district names or only for Malawi? CubanoBoi (pakuchezgela) 12:39, 15 Epulelo 2023 (UTC)
- @CubanoBoi I didn't get you. What are you trying to say? Tumbuka Arch★★★ 15:53, 15 Epulelo 2023 (UTC)
- @CubanoBoi Can you also learn to comment when something is posted here? Tumbuka Arch★★★ 15:55, 15 Epulelo 2023 (UTC)
- Like most places in Malawi that have a page on here have “town name, district name”. Should that be for the entire worlds equivalent of a district in Malawi or is that only for Malawi CubanoBoi (pakuchezgela) 15:57, 15 Epulelo 2023 (UTC)
- Ah, I get you now. Actually we need the same for all countries, not just Malawi. Tumbuka Arch★★★ 16:00, 15 Epulelo 2023 (UTC)
Mbiri ya Tanzania
I have just finished creating the article about the history of Tanzania. Caro de Segeda (pakuchezgela) 15:59, 16 Epulelo 2023 (UTC)
- @Caro de Segeda Wow! This is amazing. Thank you :) Tumbuka Arch★★★ 17:31, 16 Epulelo 2023 (UTC)
Great Rift Valley
How would you translate "Great Rift Valley" to Tumbuka? --Caro de Segeda (pakuchezgela) 19:02, 16 Epulelo 2023 (UTC)
- Chidikha Chisani cha Chisaghala cha Afilika (if refering to the African Great Rift Valley)
- or
- Dambo la Great Rift (this is correct but still uses English) Tumbuka Arch★★★ 19:11, 16 Epulelo 2023 (UTC)
Revision
Could you please revise this article. I would like to have it as a good one. --Caro de Segeda (pakuchezgela) 16:09, 17 Epulelo 2023 (UTC)
- no issues at all. Tumbuka Arch★★★ 08:32, 19 Epulelo 2023 (UTC)
- Can we have it as a featured article, please? Caro de Segeda (pakuchezgela) 10:29, 20 Epulelo 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, it can. No worries Tumbuka Arch★★★ 10:30, 20 Epulelo 2023 (UTC)
- In fact, most long pages in special pages need to have good article badge. Tumbuka Arch★★★ 10:31, 20 Epulelo 2023 (UTC)

- how do you say "third-level territorial subdivision", since chigawa that's used for wards of zambia is the same as the first level subdivison. CubanoBoi (pakuchezgela) 19:51, 21 Epulelo 2023 (UTC)
- @CubanoBoi It is called: Chigaŵa chachitatu cha vigaŵa vyakupatukana Tumbuka Arch★★★ 05:19, 22 Epulelo 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks, but should all places end in the second level subdivision like in Malawi. Like Vega Alta, Cuba into Vega Alta, Camajuaní. Lusaka into Lusaka, Lusaka. Etc
CubanoBoi 17:28, 22 Epulelo 2023 (UTC)
- @CubanoBoi I am totally not getting you Tumbuka Arch★★★ 18:22, 22 Epulelo 2023 (UTC)
- Should every Wikipedia page on here about a town end in the region? Like Mzuzu, Mzimba CubanoBoi 18:25, 22 Epulelo 2023 (UTC)
- @CubanoBoi especially of other countries, except that of native country such as Malawi, Zambia and Tanzania. Tumbuka Arch★★★ 23:38, 24 Epulelo 2023 (UTC)

Moni! Nkhagwiranga nchito ya kung'anamura nkhani ya Vicente Costalago cifukwa ndiyo wakalemba mabuku ghanandi mu ciyowoyero ici. Kasi mungazomerezga kuti nkhani iyi yileke kumara? --Caro de Segeda (pakuchezgela) 08:17, 23 Epulelo 2023 (UTC)
