Template:Outline of knowledge coverage

This article is written in Ugandan English and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.

A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day section on October 9, 2004, October 9, 2005, October 9, 2006, October 9, 2007, October 9, 2008, October 9, 2009, October 9, 2010, and October 9, 2012.

As a result, young women tend to have older and more sexually experienced partners and this puts women at a disproportionate risk of getting affected by HIV, accounting for about 57 per cent of all adults living with HIV in Uganda.[124] → The figure in this sentence is gravely wrong. From the original reference, it is 5.7 per cent, not 57 per cent.

As above, unless I am blind the current map in the infobox includes Eritrea as a part of Ethiopia. I am unsure how to fix this myself, however I believe this is a simple and unobjectionable change that needs to happen, since the map reflects contemporary borders. 5.151.196.93 (talk) 14:37, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Well recently I have noticed that the infobox in other languages for Uganda is missing some information about certain languages, such as the fact that the transcription in Luganda is wrong, which is not Eggwanga Yuganda, it is in fact Lipabuliika ya Uganda. The Uganda Law Reform Commission, which is an agency of the Ugandan government, has published on its website the official translations of the Ugandan Constitution in different languages, including Lusoga and Lumasaba. This section is to provide advice on the names that appear in the infobox. Uganda only recognizes English and Swahili as the main languages, although reading some articles from both the Law Reform Commission and other Ugandan government websites, the native languages have some relevance. Even if they are not recognized as official languages, it does not prevent them from being included in the infobox. For example, I have seen that there was a lot of debate about including the French name on the Algeria's article, one of the arguments being that French has no official status, but since this language is taught in schools and a large part of the population speaks it, it was concluded that it should be included in the infobox. On the other hand, Senegal's article includes Wolof, Arabic and Fula names even though the country only recognizes French as their only official language. So in a nutshell, the fact that they have no formal status de jure, de facto they are languages which have some relevance in Uganda and that is why the Law Reform Commission translated and put online the country's constitution in those languages. The purpose of this section is to provide a consensus to avoid any kind of edit war, vandalism or confusion. So any criticism or feedback on this decision is welcome. - Pinging: @Thiscouldbeauser and BRINK111:, because you were the ones who edited the article recently.

It’s misleading to say Runyakitara is a national Language of Uganda because it’s not. Katsisaac50 (talk) 23:52, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Uganda. (edit · history · last · links · protection log) This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change XtoY". The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

edit the “National Language” Section from Runyakitara to English. Runyakitara is only spoken by some people from Western Uganda, and this page provides false information that it is Uganda’s national language. 41.210.145.78 (talk) 12:42, 19 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
