Dear enwiki sysadmins/developers,
I would like to start Extrapedia, a catch-all wiki for stuff that
can't go on Wikipedia. At first, it would only accept high-quality
articles about subjects that enwiki considers non-notable.[1] I would
eventually like to write some code to make it easier to move pages
from Wikipedia to Extrapedia. I figure that writing-code bit will be
easier for me if you admins host Extrapedia on either the Foundation
servers or on some personal servers of your own.
So, would you sysadmins be willing to kindly host it for now?
Kind regards,
Jason Spiro
^ [1]. Later on, I might expand it to include bad-quality articles
and/or articles deleted from enwiki for other reasons. Either way,
only NPOV material would be allowed.
Going back to the topic. I had some similar ideas in the past.
I think it should be done from down up. You start that wiki.->It's
successful->You treat some "merging". But take into account that it's
probably not so a good idea having hosted by WMF and administered by the
same people. The line seems too weak.
You'll want to configure transwiki from wikipedia.
