Feedback Request: Approval and Participation in Incubation Experiment

Hello,

As part of an experiment proposed by the WMF Language and Product Localization team, which you can read about here, we have requested the Language Committee to approve your language project and help graduate it from the Incubator.

Through this experiment, we are interested in understanding the impact of modern wiki features (that Wikimedia wikis) have on the editing activity of users compared to when they were in the Wikimedia Incubator. Read the hypothesis statement here. There are no specific expectations for participation from editors of the approved language, other than wanting to know if your community has any concerns about being part of this experiment, about receiving approval at this stage, and if you will be open to continuing your community activities as usual over the next 3-4 months. Are there any concerns we should be aware of?

We would appreciate your response by September 16th. If we do not receive a response, the wiki will not be approved by the Language Committee. SSethi (WMF) (talk) 18:53, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

Thank you. I agree the approve and I will keep contribute! ～ ᥖᥨᥐᥱ ᥑᥣᥙᥱ ᥕᥣᥙᥱ ᥓᥬ ～ Yang Yan Ao Thuan (talk) 19:33, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

I think this is a very good idea and I have no concerns about it currently, but I have a small question, that is once this is approved, and after 3-4 months, will it still be approved or will it be moved back here? About the editing activity, I'm absolutely willing to continue my activities and I think I will start editing in late September or October. Sai Dai Sai Laing (talk) 20:05, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

Thank you all for your support and interest in participating in the experiment! I will inform the language committee that we have consensus from the community to proceed. As soon as I hear from them about the next steps, I will share more information. Regarding your question about what happens after 3-4 months, the wiki will remain approved, and there are no plans to roll back the wikis to the Incubator (unless under extreme circumstances).

Yang Yan Ao Thuan and all, would it be possible for you to respond to a query regarding namespace translations here? Thank you! SSethi (WMF) (talk) 19:22, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

Congratulations on approval and next steps

Congratulations on your approval and going live! On behalf of the experiment team, I’m sharing some resources that may be helpful for your next steps:

Resources for Developing New Wikis:

• Starter Kit: Small Wiki Toolkits/Starter Kit
• Manual for Small and New Wikipedias
• Indigenous Languages and Knowledge Toolbox

You can also request a meeting with the Language Diversity Hub, which supports new language communities. Use this form to set up a meeting, and they will reach out to find a suitable time: Request a Meeting. Alternatively, you can email them at languagediversityhub@gmail.com. They’re eager to assist!

Join the following Telegram group for discussions on enhancing language diversity in Wikimedia projects: Telegram Group.

If you have any questions during the experiment which will run until January 2025, feel free to reach out on the Future of Incubation talk page.

There’s nothing required from you at this moment, so you can continue your activities as usual. We’ll touch base with you in three months to request a meeting with active editors from your community for a brief survey, helping to shape the next steps of the experiment. Happy editing!
