I don't think there is much capacity for such a wiki.
A Wiki on languages in general might generate a lot of articles, but a Wiki about Cantonese specifically would never have much capacity to grow.
If you truly think it's a good idea, or that it will somehow benefit Cantonese and Cantonese speakers, or whatever, then I won't oppose you.

Unfortunately the conlang part does not apply to Cantonese, although the miniwiki "scratchpad" may, it's not much different from what we have already at Meta.
I only meant this for Quenya. I don't think there would be any advantage to starting a Cantonese encyclopedia at Wikicities.
After browsing the wonderful Wikicities for some time, I have a different idea. We do not need to be bound by the format of an encyclopedia. Why not start a wiki about Cantonese, written mainly in standard English and/or standard Chinese? I believe that wiki will be very useful, will attract contributors and readers, and should not be opposed.
Since that will be a different project, I would like to do a quick popularity survey here. Who will support that project? Who will contribute?
If the Quenya people are still on the list, let me tell you that I would like to see a wiki about Quenya written in English too. Of course, there is no restriction on writing example articles in Quenya.
