[Wikipedia-l] Test wikipedia policy

[Mark Williamson]

Hi all, I have a few questions about our policy towards test Wikipedias.

1) Can there be a test Wikipedia without a specific request for the
creation of a Wikipedia in that language? Examples:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Test-wp/enm/ (Middle English),
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Test-wp/Skandinavisk/Hovudside (Unified
Scandinavian), http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Test-wp/mis-ryu/
(South-Central Okinawan).

2) Should it become a requirement to have a test Wikipedia before a
new Wikipedia can be created??

3) Once a Wikipedia is actually created, is there a policy to delete
the test Wikipedia? For example with fiu-vro, I transferred all the
articles and gave credit on talkpages; for sco: I transferred all
articles. Clearly, having all these pages on meta now is just taking
up space.

Mark
