Why not doing exactly the same but on

put on promoting a brand new site could be put instead in promoting

I think there's a slight misunderstanding.
I don't think so :) but it's fine. No stop energy.
If you see
http://whatcanidoformozilla.org, it doesn't have much *original*
content by itself - it just links back to an appropriate page on
mozwiki. This one will also be the same - it will just link back to
appropriate
mediawiki.org pages.
Yes, yes. We could argue about the tactics of creating own sites for
each activity as opposed to build on top of your current platform but
there is actually little point in doing so.
Please continue with your initiative but document / discuss in your
preferred destination under Project:New contributors
This will help us being all in sync
And if the pages are not good enough,
I'll try improve them (or poke people into doing that).
This is the big part of the work. And related to this: improving
mediawiki.org homepage and Developer Hub to reflect all the
opportunities for contribution you are describing.
