A couple of months ago CIS-A2K published an Indic Wikipedia policies and guidelines handbook in order to support Indic Wikipedians to improve their policy portals. Before and after the publication of the handbook we talked to Indic Wikipedians and asked how should we go ahead with this works and these are the suggestions we have received so far:

1. Core content and other important policy pages should be created;
2. Regular policy discussions should take place which will help to collaborate understand a community's needs.

If you have any suggestion or idea, or if you want to prioritize any particular policy, please let us know. Thanks for your support.

Good job with the handbook, CIS-A2K. I have a couple of comments:

I noticed Darshan's comment that we cannot enforce policies because we do not have the relevant policy pages on the Konknni Wikipedia. I would say that since the founding principles apply to all Wikipedias, atleast for the core content policies of Neutral point of view, No original research, and Verifiability, we can adopt these from the English Wikipedia as is, for now, and begin enforcing them immediately. Eventually, we can translate and adapt them.

Another thing is that the handbook suggests the use of the MediaWiki Translate extension for translating policy pages, but I could not understand how exactly to do this. I think the handbook could be improved by giving some details, and perhaps an example of using the Translate extension to translate policy pages.

Thanks @The Discoverer for your comment and apologies for delay in reply. The points you have mentioned about core content policies, I personally agree to those. About MediaWiki translation tool, we were discussing these things before the roll-out of content translation tool.

Thanks for your detailed feedback.
