You may edit it, but please discuss major changes on the talk page first.

Introduction [edit]

Common reason for deleting pages here on Incubator include:

  • Speedy deletion requests (vandalism, spelling corrections, correcting prefixes etc.)
  • Deletion of a complete test wiki according to the policy's section "Closure or Deletion"
  • If a project is given final approval by the language committee, the test's pages will be imported to the new subdomain wiki. All pages here will be deleted, except the info page.

Requests for deleting single pages [edit]

  • Pages that may be subject to speedy deletion:
    • Speedy deletions may be proposed by putting {{delete}} (and a reason) on the pages that should be deleted and will thereby be added to Category:Maintenance:Delete, where an administrator will decide about them. It is not needed to vote on a speedy deletion. If there are doubts, the administrator reviewing the speedy deletion request will ask the proposer. If you have doubts, but are not an administrator, you are also free to add a remark below the {{delete}} template on the page.
  • In other cases, you may put a request below.

Requests for test deletions [edit]

  1. You can propose a deletion of a test language. You may only propose a deletion of a test language which does not have a proposal on Meta or is rejected by the langcom.
    1. You can vote, but it has just a little bit of influence. Arguments are better.
    2. You can propose moving the test to the Incubator Plus.
  2. After 10 days, an administrator will make a decision about deleting the test or not.
  3. If needed, an XML file must be exported (needed means: if the test is not vandalism or nonsense – in general, use common sense)
  4. Remember that this has nothing directly to do with the decision of the language committee (langcom).

Requests [edit]


Wp/zza [edit]

This test is meant to be written in en:Zaza language, which is a macrolanguage comprising Dimli (diq), and Kirmanjki (kiu). Langcom has therefore rejected the request for it already back in 2008. Per policy, the test wikis whose proposals on Meta were rejected "can be kept for future proposals when the requirements are fulfilled (if this is possible), or else it should be proposed for deletion". I think that this is the case here, and contributions should be made to diq: and Wp/kiu. --MF-W {a, b} 22:12, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

Is this a wiki containing two different languages or a wiki with one standard language? If it is the first: sort out pages and move to the correct codes. If the last: delete. --OWTB 06:10, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
Zazaki is a language with three dialects: Northern, Central and Southern dialect. Therefore it is suitable to use also zza like kiu and diq for the three different dialects. Regards --Erdemaslancan 08:32, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
there is nothing new on Wp/zza. the user above Erdemaslancan (btw he is not so good at zazaki, he mostly use turkish insead of zazaki, here, a simple example and people think that he translated it into zazaki, but its turkish) just copy-paste artickles from diq: wiki. so, it doesnt make sense to create it and as user MF-W told, its a rejected proposal.--GOMADA talk 10:45, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

The decision is: Delete. Also a new request (here) has been rejected by Langcom. An XML file of the Wp/zza pages has been created (7.5 MB) and is avaiable upon request. --MF-W {a, b} 16:56, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

Yes check.svg deleted by bot. --MF-W {a, b} 20:06, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

Wp/ber [edit]

The code ber represents a language family and thus is not suited for a Wikipedia project. The Meta request has been rejected for the very same reason. We have test projects in many Berber languages, and presumably others could be opened if there is demand. -- Liliana-60 23:13, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

Sorry for a late answer. There's a movement for a standardised Berber language, and there appear to be plans for a new language code or a change for "ber", and SIL is always slow with changes so Wp/ber can stay until it's clear what the SIL decision is or will be.

Wp/amz [edit]

Uses a wrong code. Test content is Tamazight, while the code is for another language. Part of the Berber issues, probably. --MF-W {a, b} 16:46, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

Can't stay in its current form. It looks like it's just Wp/ber using the Berber writing system.. --OWTB 18:16, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
Editing was now blocked. Hopefully the users can tell us which language it is. --MF-W {a, b} 18:22, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

Wy/ko/대한민국 of Wy/ko [edit]

Please delete this edition. Hahnjune0118 added contents of other encyclopedia. It doesn't permit commercial use and modifications. --Sotiale (talk) 03:17, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

So it's this diff? Where does it come from? --MF-W {a, b} 14:59, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
