Folklore in Fashion - African Fabrics
Welcome! This is a Wiki project aimed at documenting information about fabric designs found on the African fabric market - specifically designs which are considered "classical designs" across various markets and hold some names with metaphorical meanings in the African culture.
This project aims at creating Wikidata items for these fabric designs, Wikicommon entries for the images and audio pronunciation of the names and Wikipedia articles in both English and Twi Wikipedia.
The worksheet contains all the information to assist in creating the Wikipedia articles including references found and images if present on Wiki Commons.
The name of the African variant in bold and designated as (main) is recommended to be the name of the article on English Wikipedia as this corresponds with how the design is most widely known on the internet by. This will enable search for the particular fabric design on Wikipedia be easier. The names of the design as is in other African countries follow after the main name.
It also contains the status of the articles and Wikidata items. If an article or item has been created, kindly fill in the Wiki link so other editors can be notified.
