This is the Wikimedia Incubator, where potential Wikimedia project wikis in new language versions of Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wikinews, Wikiquote and Wiktionary can be arranged, written, tested and proven worthy of being hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation.

Óbwói dé Testwikis nó koah oagerns Wiki håm, kenners wia a jeeds åndre Wikimedia-Wiki gnutzd wern.

New language versions of Wikiversity should go to Beta Wikiversity, and those of Wikisource to Old Wikisource.

Es is néd méglé, a kómplett neichs Prójket åzfånger, du kåst netter neiche Sproochversióner voh dé bsteeherden Prójektt (schaug dodazua óm) åfånger.

If you are here to start a new language edition of a project, you can find all information on Help:Manual. Please be aware of the local policy.

Some important rules:

You need a valid language code (explained in the manual), if you haven't, you can apply for one, or go to Incubator Plus.
Starting a test wiki here doesn't mean it will later be automatically accepted by Wikimedia; you need it to be approved by the Language committee first. See Requests for new languages for more information.
Please respect the naming conventions for the test language, to help future migrations of pages to an actual wiki project. All of your test pages (including templates and categories) need to be named uniquely (by using a prefix — at least the language code; see above) and consistently.

If you have knowledge of a language which currently has a test wiki here, you are strongly encouraged to contribute to that test wiki.

Please give all pages you create a correct prefix. More information about prefixes.
