Incubator:Requests for starting a test
If you are unsure whether your language is valid to be hosted here or have its own subdomain, you can ask here for advice.
Instructions [view]
- Be sure you have a user account here at Incubator.
- How to request? Just say which language and which project (Wikipedia, Wiktionary, ...) and give a link to a Wikipedia article or another webpage with some information.
- We need this to know the ISO 639 language code. If you already know the language code, please provide it.
- If that language doesn't already have an existing wiki in another Wikimedia project, please provide a translation for the phrase "Main Page" in that language.
- Add a new request
- And then? Someone will say whether you are allowed to start a test, and if so, he will give a link where you need to start your test.
- People who are either administrators and/or familiar with Incubator/LangCom policies may handle requests.

- You could do this under Wt/tem. But it might also be a good idea to add Temne entries into the English-language Wiktionary, as that already provides a lot of infrastructure. --MF-W {a, b} 01:10, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

- Proposed Wikimedia project: https://igala.wikiproject.org/
Igala is spoken by the Igala ethnic group of Nigeria, located at the eastern region of the confluence of River Niger and River Benue. The Igala Kingdom has been influenced by the Yoruba, Idoma, Igbo and Jukun, and they made up of descendants of these groups who settled and mixed with the native Igala populations. We have a lot of knowledge to share to the world about the Igala language. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by AgnesAbah (discussion • contribs) 21:33, 17 August 2022 (UTC).
- As there is a valid ISO code, Wp/igl would be the place for this. --MF-W {a, b} 00:53, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

- Language: Old Occitan
- MediaWiki code:

There should be an Old Provencal incubator page to facilitate the study and revitalization of the language. There has been an issue creating the main page, with lack of ISO lang code cites as the issue, however the code is pro. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Fiskos127 (discussion • contribs) 17:25, 9 January 2023 (UTC).

- Proposed project: Wikivoyage
- Language: Assamese

- Temporary main page: Wy/as/Main Page
- Other Wikimedia projects:
- Proposed Wikimedia project: https://as.wikivoyage.org/
Assamese Wikivoyage is a valuable addition because it provides a platform for travelers and tourists to access information about Assam in their native language. Assamese is widely spoken in the region, and having a dedicated Wikivoyage in Assamese allows local residents and visitors to explore Assam's diverse culture, traditions, tourist attractions, and practical travel tips in a language they are comfortable with. It promotes regional tourism, preserves local knowledge, and encourages more people to explore and appreciate the beauty of Assam. --Thesaurabhsaha (talk) 13:46, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
- You can do this under Wy/as. Syunsyunminmin (talk) 09:42, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
