actually, what you want to do is already done :)


see this:  http://en.wikivoyage.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Main_Page

You'll most likely want to join the existing "beta" project instead of trying to redo this again.

Both. All I have so far is the Labs project, Wikivoyage. So next step in cloning an en.Wikivoyage instance there is what?

What are your blockers? Is it about getting a Mediawiki installed on the labs instance
or is that already done and it is about wanting to import wikivoyage data ?

Hi all,

I am attempting to set up a Wikivoyage Labs prototyping wiki, see
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Nova_Resource:Wikivoyage, which is
a WMF resource we can avail ourselves of. I got that far by dint of
perseverance over the past couple days. But now I'm up against the
hard part of cloning an instance of en.Wikivoyage to do prototyping
on. I just don't know how to do it.

Does anyone here know how to do this and want to help?

The Wikivoyage Labs prototyping wiki I am trying to create (doesn't
exist yet) would be for all wikivoyagers to use for hacking up pages
and experimenting. We could install extensions and basically do
whatever we want that is for the purpose of experimenting with and
developing Wikivoyage's look and features. For example, the Main Page
there could be hacked up and processed through the Mobile page creator
without messing with our production wiki. The whole wiki would be a
sandbox.

I'd like to see experimental instances of all the language versions of WV there.

The experiment I personally have in mind to do first, once we have
this set up, is to install the Universal Language Selector
extension[1] and see if I can configure it as a way to switch nicely
between the various language versions of WV.

My notes to myself about this are on my Labs userpage:

I'd love your help,

Roger :-)
