[edit] What is it?

Something exists by this name. For instance: "Ce producteur de 42 ans de la Boucle du Mouhoun doit être classé dans la catégorie des «agro-businessers». 225, c’est en effet le nombre d’hectares de spéculations diversifiées qu’il exploite à Fouanky dans le département de Ouarkaye."[1] However there are very few sources and it appears not to be a village.

Maybe it is a village: "Le général d’armée à la retraite, Yaoua Michel TAMINI s’est éteint le mardi 15 novembre 2005 dans son village natal Ouarkoye à l’âge de 75 ans. A l’annonce de la nouvelle, c’est une foule de parents, d’amis et de frères d’armée qui a fait le déplacement de Ouarkaye le jeudi 17 novembre, pour accompagner le général à sa dernière demeure. Né en 1930 à Ouarkoye département de la province du Mouhoun,..."[2] Rmhermen (talk) 22:44, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Now it is perhaps a village or a department or maybe a region? "Les textes présentés dans ce recueil sont issues de conversations tenues avec informateurs bwa et d'observations faites dans les régions de Dédougou, de Ouarkaye, de Boudoukuy et de Boromo. Ils procurent une documentation sur les techniques agricoles et domestique des populations de langue bwa."[3] Rmhermen (talk) 22:47, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

This list[4] seems to show that Ouarkoye is the capital of the department with the same name. So I will move the page to that spelling. Rmhermen (talk) 22:59, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
