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.
I would also like an Extrationary to include all the dictionary stuff not supported by the English Wiktionary such as proto-languages, constructed languages, programming languages, fictional characters, fictional items and words such as used in Harry Potter and translated.

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.
