Okay, then create it. Go ahead. Nobody is stopping you.

I wish the
Yoruba, Swahili, Igbo, Xhosa, Zulu and even Afrikaans Wikipedia
were suffering from the problems the English Wikipedia is known for.
So the problems are a _good thing_ because they indicate the project
is mature and doing good work? The project is _not_ mature - there is
plenty of room for improvement, but improvements cannot be made
because so many people disagree on what consitutes "improvement" and
no group gets a final say, for better or for worse; and people are so
insecure that they must use perfectly ridiculous pseudonyms on the
project because of some "it's safer" claim. The project is arguably
doing good work, but is crushing that work with junk-heaps of
bureaucracy, ill-enforced civility and politeness, rules and
governance of contested status, allowance of bullying and stalking,
and so on, et cetera.
If you disagree with me, feel free to do so. I'm not trying to
brainwash you into thinking that Wikipedia is bad; but please maintain
an open mind towards Wikipendium, and consider that there are plenty
of improvements that it might make on Wikipedia's systems. Consider it
this way: some of us are satisfied with Wikipedia, and some of us
aren't; and some of us are going to create Wikipendium, because we
can't be bothered spending years trying to get an improvement, be it
social or technical, into the system - we've got articles to write.
Thank you,
Thomas
