Hello,
We are a group of Algerians contributors to Wikipedia, we would like to create a new Wikipedia portal for the widely local spoken language in north Africa "Derija" which is driven from various languages like Arabic, French, Amazight, Spanish ... ( see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algerian_Arabic and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darija )
The project is not influence by any political motivation, we would like to ease the understanding of information for the people who does't speak Arabic, French nor English in the region.
It would be interesting to point out that a similar experience has been launched in 2008 in Egypt by creating a Wikipedia portal for the Egyptian language with is similar to Arabic (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_Arabic and
https://arz.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D9%88%D9%8A%D9%83%D9%8A%D8%A8%D9%8A%D8%AF%D9... )
the experiment is having a lot of success in Egypt, and we would like exactly to copy the Egyptian model but our goal is to reach the population of 5 countries "Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, Libya and Mauritania".
We would like to know if it respects the terms of the Wikifondation, and the process to follow to create the portal.
Best regards
Walid Zenad

Hi,
Such a project started already. It's in the "incubator" stage. See https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/arq
Several things need to happen for this project to acquire its own domain, probably arq.wikipedia.org , but the most important thing is that this project needs to have active writers. The current writing activity is low: see
https://tools.wmflabs.org/meta/catanalysis/index.php?cat=0&title=Wp/arq&...
If you write there more, it will be eventually approved.
For more information, see: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Language_proposal_policy https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Manual
