Hi all,

It would be beneficial to have a wiki of our own, since it would for example reduce the risk of newcomers getting lost among all the other Wikiversity pages. The latest peer reviewer I came in contact with found the structure to be rather confusing, so with a wiki of our own we'd be able to have a much simpler page.

Yet, it shouldn't be disconnected from Wikimedia projects. I wouldn't want us to move all the pages to an external site, making us need to move all the pages again when it's approved as a Wikimedia sister project. The ideal solution would be something like the Wikimedia Incubator but that one only works for new language versions of existing wikis.

Best regards,

Mikael

I think having a test wiki is excellent. Many thanks. This is a critical step towards one day being our own sister site. This will increase our reputation significantly.

Hi, thanks or the initiative! Thought a test wiki makes some sense, I must
say that my first thought is that it isn't necessary at this point. We
should be more concerned in getting contributors and content than in
migrating everything and setting up a new home. I see no great advantages
and I do see lots of extra work. But maybe you see big advantages?

As I did migrate content from wikis few times, I assure you it's hard to move from a wikiproject to an entire wiki once you're really "rooted" in the wiki + You are not free to organize your project because you share a wiki (no custom Sidebar, Extensions, configuration, CSS, categories). But do what you want ! :)

I see no need either for a separate test wiki. The only move we should make
is the day WikiJournal becomes a separate sister project.

Best regards,

Mikael
