== Information ==
=== Notes to consider ===
* '''Hosting:''' Remember that the Wikimedia Foundation is '''not''' a free hosting company for any kind of wikis. If your project does not fit the Foundation's ideals, try a wiki hosting site such as [http://www.wikia.com Wikia] or [http://wikidev.net wikidev.net] (see [http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?WikiFarms a list of wiki hosts with reviews]), or [[Help:Install|download and host MediaWiki yourself]].
* '''History:''' Individuals attempting to create a new project may benefit from reading the [[Wikipedia timeline]] and [http://www.wikia.com/wiki/Uses_of_a_wiki Uses of a wiki].
* <p>'''Be persistent.''' Don't take criticism directed at proposals personally. There have been a number of mistakes made in the past in regards to starting up new project ideas, and several of the "veteran" users are afraid of repeating those same mistakes. New ideas are taken seriously, although it should be admitted that the process of going from an idea for a new project to actually turning on a server that is implementing that idea will take quite a bit of time and effort. If you are proposing these ideas, be willing to take some "arrows" in your back, a lot of criticism, cynicism, and outright disbelief that your ideas are going to work. If it really is a good idea, there will be others who will be willing to help you out as well. Be persistent and don't give up right away.</p><!--

--><p>The last major project that made the jump from a project idea to something going on its own was [[Wikinews:|Wikinews]]. Some veteran users are suggesting that it will be a year or two before any other project idea will be accepted as a new separate project, if ever. If you want to see how a project idea has been successful, it would be wise to see what was done to go from idea to an actual project, please look at [[Wikinews|the project proposal page for Wikinews]]. In particular, click on the history button and look back in time over some of the complications they went through before going "live". Any projects that don't live up to this sort of standard for coming into existance will likely not be considered as a new project by the Wikimedia Foundation's Board. Don't get discouraged, but it is not going to be easy either.</p><!--

--><p>If you see something that doesn't fit into any current Wikimedia project, could be done using MediaWiki software, can be distributed using the GFDL (or very similar license) for republishing, please feel free to add a suggestion below.</p>


It has been suggested that many of the current proposals could be merged into one of the main projects below.
* '''[[w:|Wikipedia]]''': One other place to strongly consider is Wikipedia's series of subprojects, [[w:Wikipedia:WikiProject|WikiProject]]. Many of the proposals listed below could be incorporated into one of those projects, or perhaps a new WikiProject could be started instead. Wikipedia is evolving and changing over time, and there is already quite a bit that can be adapted from the content on Wikipedia, not to mention involving people who commonly use and edit Wikipedia.
* '''[[s:|Wikisource]]''': Wikisource also has a similar effort for [[Wikisource:Wikisource:WikiProject|larger subprojects of Wikisource]] that are focused on original source material that will require quite a bit of effort to transfer to that project. This would be things like historical dictionaries, encyclopedias, or other multi-volume reference works that are of a historical nature and can be copied according to the [[Meta:Copyrights|terms of the GFDL]].
* '''[[b:|Wikibooks]]''': In addition, it has been suggested on many of the proposals listed below that a good place to look would be with [[Wikibooks:|Wikibooks]]. If you are trying to put together a large collection of factual information into one place, starting a Wikibook may be a good place to go. If it doesn't quite fit Wikibooks, the other editors at Wikibooks will try to help you get to the correct place as well.

=== [http://www.wikitextbook.co.uk wikitextbook.co.uk] - A textbook aimed specifically UK students ===
*I instigated this site a year ago now and have spent a lot of time deciding upon the internal links and pages.
*Pages have been created based upon the UK syllabus.
*Needs content that relates specifically to the UK syllabus (this is where it often differs from wikipedia and therefore a new project was required).
*Many pages of wikipedia are appropriate - I am thinking about adding information from wikipedia to get certain areas started - I believe this is fine according to the copyright.
*Lots of debate about wikis in education. Most comments are very positive.
*Free hosting has been provided by a Publisher who believes in the use of wikis (he is very web content driven)
*Comments, thoughts, help etc etc more than welcome! (wiki@wikitextbook.co.uk)
: * These are great textbooks, but why not just make them on Wikibooks, and just explicitly that all contributors must contribute based on the UK syllabus? -- [[user:zanimum]]
::* The reason for starting a new site was the fact that we wanted a site that we could shape to specifically meet the needs to UK students and teachers. It was felt that this would be easier if a whole site was dedicated to UK students rather than having to sift around a large wikibooks site that wasn't designed for them. --[[User:Wikitextbook|Wikitextbook]] 18:28, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
:::*It is too bad that this couldn't have been dealt with by creating a UK-themed bookshelf at Wikibooks instead. There are seperate projects like Wikijunior and Wikiversity that have essentially their own user community, so this wouldn't have been that much of a difference. I'll try to integrate some links into Wikibooks from the content of this website. --[[User:Roberth|Roberth]] 04:27, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
::::* I believe that the scope of Wikibooks should be global. As it is, lots of work remains undone at Wikibooks, and having a UK Wikibook would be un-necessary biased. The idea of Wikis I feel should be used for global collaboration. What specific kind of knowledge in Sciences, Maths and Computer Science should be different from the rest of the world?
:::::* Who decided that all Wikibooks had to be global in scope and nature? Many Wikimedia projects have location-specific content and orentation, including Wikinews and Wikipedia. Wikipedia in particular has location-specific Wikiprojects. For example, [[b:Wikijunior Math]] is a proposed Wikibook that would deal with the mathmatics education that follows the curriculum guidelines for the U.S. State of California. It may be adapted to other locations at a later date, but it is being developed to work with a specific location in mind. [[b:University of Alberta Guide]] is another Wikibook that is clearly very specific for a particular location. [[b:FHSST Physics]] (to cite a nearly finished Wikibook) was developed following the high school physics curriculum for South Africa. I can find others examples, but it certainly is not against Wikibooks policy to have a book that is oriented toward a specific location. I'm mainly suggesting that if this is a serious proposal to get this project adopted by the Wikimedia Foundation rather than an attempt at advertising, you need to overcome the objection as to why it can't be dealt with in Wikibooks. I appreciate that as a seperate project you would have a smaller community to work with and make decisions specific to the needs of the content you are developing. The main point here, however, is what sort of contribution to the rest of the Wikimedia projects would this proposal have and why don't the existing Wikimedia projects effectively deal with the goals of your new project proposal. --[[User:Roberth|Roberth]] 16:18, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
----
After some inspection, I decided that '''WikiTextbook is ''not'' free.''' To be more specific, WikiTextbook is [[wikt:gratis|gratis]]-free, but not [[wikt:libre|libre]]-free. Unlike Wikimedia projects, WikiTextbook does not offer a license (such as the [[GNU Free Documentation License]]) that would allow me to copy content off the site, then modify it. --[[User:Kernigh|Kernigh]] 18:26, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
:This clearly does not merit its own project or domain. HOWEVER, it could be very useful as a book in Wikibooks. [[User:Pcu123456789|Pcu123456789]] 16:04, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

:Wikibooks does have a section now aimed specifically at gradeschool children called [[Wikibooks:Wikistudy|Wikistudy]], that is broken down along country lines. Books specifically for UK school children can be created in this area. --[[User:Whiteknight|Whiteknight]] 18:29, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

**[[User:Chaerani]] [[User:Chaerani|Chaerani]] 04:35, 11 July 2006 (UTC): Having tried both wikitree and rodovid, I'd like to say that I like Rodovid's user interface better. However, rodovid needs a lot to improve too, such as:
*** The rodovid server is sooooo slow. It's realllllyyyy slow.
*** Inputting a person data needs 3-4 steps, this needs to be reduced to 1-2 steps, perhaps with the help of AJAX
*** Should have option to merge two persons, rather than having to delete one person and create a new one and re-attach the person to the spot of the deleted person.
*** Should have a Special Page to track relationship between two persons
*** A person's data should have a link to his/her wikipedia page. This is where integration with other Wikimedia projects come into play, and is very important to be able to visualise family relationship of important people, such as Bush Family, British Royal Family, etc.
*** For me, the name "rodovid" does not click. It has to be something with wiki in it. Perhaps wikifamily.org or wikealogy.org
***I'm not a programmer, but i'd like to see what i can do to translate rodovid to Indonesian

;Comments: [[Talk:Rodovid.org]]
**User JBJ from Wikipedia. What's to think about? This is a stupendous idea!
**What an excellent suggestion! However, I think that if this project became part of Wikimedia, the name would need a bit of change.
*I don't like the idea - firstly the information is very difficult to get accurately (what about people who's mothers had an affair they didn't know about? What if they don't even know their parents?). Next, graphically it's almost impossible to represent the complexity in 'tree' form, especially when things get complicated (breakups etc), and thirdly there is the issue of privacy - everyone in the world doesn't want their family tree put on the internet, not to mention the personal details such information would convey. Taking this into account, I don't think this would make a reasonable suggestion for a WikiMedia foundation project. I still think it could be a useful project, but its scope seems too large, and accuracy is going to be a huge problem. -Richard

;Comments:
**This is currently up for a [[b:Wikibooks:Votes for deletion/Wikiversity|Vote for deletion]] due to the way it was setup in the first place. There are a number of problems with the way that this project got started, and perhaps by starting a "formal" new project proposal this will get to be started the way it ought to be done, or at least get an equal footing with other new project ideas. '''DO NOT''' start a project on Wikibooks that mimics how this project got started, as this is more an example of how not to start a new project with the Wikimedia Foundation. There are a number of very good ideas that have been brought forward regarding this project, but had it been listed on this page more recently, it would have been "archived" as an inactive new project proposal and been left in the neither regions of Meta. As it is, there is a ''semi-official'' status that seems to be connected with this project, including granting sister project status (for the German version of all things). The VfD above is to decide what the fate of the English version should be, considering that it is not really a Wikibook nor has much to do with Wikibooks specifically. --[[User:Roberth|Roberth]] 12:02, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
**'''Update''': I've [[Talk:Wikiversity#Wikiversity "Relaunch"|set up a time table]] for what should happen to this proposal, according to the official [[New project policy]] of the Wikimedia Foundation. Review the deadlines for the various stages that will be needed to enable this project. --[[User:Roberth|Roberth]] 18:03, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
**'''mailing list'''. I guess we should have something for the "Link to proposal on mailing list" that is mentioned at the top of the proposal. Has there already been a wikiversity project proposal notice posted to some mailing list or is this something that should be done now? --[[User:Memenen|Memenen]] 21:37, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
**'''Identity''' - Lengthy enough discussion on aspects of Wikiversity's identity, including the place or role of research at [[wikibooks:Talk:Wikiversity:About]] - yes, i know this possibly should have been on Meta. We now need to get wider input from the community on these points and include either on [[Wikiversity]] or a sub page ([[Talk:Wikiversity]] is getting a little long and rambling). Personally I think it would be good if we put our heads together on what we think is both practical in the short term and possible in the long term and how we will implement this and identify any obstacles that need addressing, eg. software needs. You are cordially invited.. [[User:Cormaggio|Cormaggio]] 00:04, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
**It seems it would be easier and more wiki spirited to create a place for wiki study groups (wikistudy?) where people could post questions, answers links, explanations etc. and let things grow from there, rather than attempt to create formal sylabi and class shedules with designated instructors [[User:167.142.44.109|167.142.44.109]] 04:17, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
**Is this not also a perfect opportunity to implement Jimbo's call to "free the curriculum"? (From his [[wikibooks:Wikimania05/Presentation-JW1|speech at Wikimania]].) I can't remember if he mentioned Wikiversity, though he says in his slides that this could be hosted on Wikibooks. Either way, there's real room for collaboration here.

:I agree, it's one of the best proposals around. I can see the site being adopted, then we will have a place to discuss controversial topics, instead of improperly using talk pages for debates. For articles like [[w:Vegetarianism]] we can simply have a sister project picture at the top of the talk page to direct people's discussions to Wikireason.

: A lovely concept. It would clean up talk pages and we could perhaps link it in some way with the Philosophy part of Wikipedia. Perhaps as an example of certain concepts? [[User:211.28.125.161|211.28.125.161]] 21:22, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

===Wikibibliography===

;Link to request on mailing list: No
;Naming suggestions: Wikibibliography
;Domain name: wikibibliography.org
;Scope: Even in our internet age, books are very important source of knowledge. The biggest problem is to find them. Even the catalogues of the greatest libraries are far from being complete. But, as experience shows, wikicommunity can do what great institutions cannot. The aim of wikibibliography is to become the great bibliographical catalogue. Each book will get an article with such information as author, publisher, year of publishing, ISBN. And of course, each article will have categories (by book's language, by topic..). It will be very useful for any researcher.

:* [[User:Davidstrauss|Davidstrauss]] - I proposed something very similar as "Wikicite" at Wikimania 2006. My main argument is the ability to index source reliability and POV, something unavailable via Google, Amazon, and elsewhere. What would constitute a source would be entirely dependant on importance and use. It could be anything from an author to a magazine article. --[[User:Davidstrauss|Davidstrauss]] 07:54, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

This seems like an interesting idea to me, and it could nicely integrate with sources in the Wikipedia. I am somewhat uncomfortable with its name, though. What about Wikicat, or something along those lines? [[User:Computerjoe|Computerjoe]] 10:29, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

I think this would be a great idea...''if'' it wasn't run on the MediaWiki platform. I think the best way to go about this would be to utilize (or develop, if something adequate doesn't already exist) a really good timeline interface for the web, that would allow you to
**View specific date ranges (from the big bang to current year end, or from last Sunday to today)
**Create events
**Remove events
**Change events
**Zoom in/zoom out
**Smooth scroll from side to side (but without a scrollbar, like you just position your cursor on the right and it scrolls to the right)
Now, as far as the details of what happened on these dates, I agree with the users above - that content should be managed on Wikipedia. So basically, the idea is to provide a superior timeline application and interface that links to Wikipedia content.--[[User:Andrewsimpson|Andrewsimpson]] 16:59, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

:I agree; this is an excellent idea. There are 2 problems, however:
::1. Speed. Wikimedia servers are admittedly slow, presumably do to the great popularity of wikipediua. It would compete with Yahoo and Google, which generally responds much faster.

'Sure' if you want Wikimedia to sell out and have the ideals of equality of knowledge corrupted by corporate interests.

*Make an open source extension to the Google Maps API that's supportive of information layers that are more advanced than icons, with SUPPORT for wiki moderation/editting and multi-layer use (and then host it on wikimedia servers).

=== PermaWiki ===

;Link to request on mailing list: N/A
;Naming suggestions: permaWiki, wikiranking
;Domain name: N/A, may work as filter on wikipedia.org
;Scope: A user maintained ranking of wiki pages for automatically condensing wiki or extracting important sub-parts.
;Details:

This really was a question on [[Meta:Babel]], but got deleted there in an cleanup task without being answered. I hope that wasn't because this is uninteresting or because I'm a non-member.

I propose a tag or other means to mark wiki pages maually as more "important" than other pages.

Maybe something like this exists already, but I don't know of it.

:Benefit: One could easily extract the most "important" sub-part of a wiki and thereby publish e.g. a book (e.g. with http://pediapress.com/), CD, DVD edition without laboriously selecting the candidate pages each time a release is needed. The selection of pages would become an implicit part of the authoring of pages.

;Proposed method: By using the already existing tag mechanism and an offline application reading the wiki database.

The tag could look as follows (assuming the current page is considered more important than [[OtherPage]]:

[[MoreImportantThan]] [[OtherPage]]

or simply

[[>OtherPage]]

If enough of these ranking hints are present a script could accumulate them and derive a total order from the graph implied by this relation.

But even if only a few pages are marked, these pages could be extracted and dated among themselves.

The algorithm doing the ranking has to be somewhat more robust than a simple total order extractor Of course, because users will likely provide some inconsistent marks. But these could be resolved by e.g. considering inconsistent marks as indications or more or less equal importance.

;Why?/My motivation: I'd like to have a durable printed edition of wikipedia which could weather some adversities and provide valuable advice and information in an emergency (e.g. no power, no internet, disconnected from the outside world).

*Why? I don't see a reason why to do it. There's no need to do this kind of work, just to make simpler articles and a kiddy theme. Kids can read, they can go on the adult wikipedia. Kids who can't read, they shouldn't be on the web. [[en:User:GamePlayer623]]
**Maybe you haven't seen the type of kid that can only read simple English - and I don't mean the kind we already have. Also I'm sure adults wouldn't like some of he content in the adult Wikipedia being shown to their kids... this is essentially the solution to the censorship problem.

***We do have the [http://simple.wikipedia.org Simple English Wikipedia] (and sister projects in Simple English). The Simple English Wiki now has over 10,000 articles. [[User:Computerjoe|Computerjoe]] 20:07, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

I think this would be a good idea. Our projects for children can be Wikipedia Junior, Wikinews Junior, Wikijunior and Simple English Wiktionary. On junior versions, we can do things we wouldn't want to do with Simple English Wikipedia and Wikinews, such as:
*Use a more colourful skin and layout.
*Write at an intermediate (5th or 6th grade?) level of English.
*Link to Wikijunior.
*Censor sexual content so that the site can be uncontroversially white-listed for filtering software. (This is particularly an issue for elementary and middle schools and public libraries.)
*Ensure that external links are also uncontroversially suitable for children.
*Select content of particular interest to children. (This is especially an issue with Wikinews.) This may include some facts that are more entertaining than encyclopedic -- after all, learning should be fun.
*Create a separate reference desk. (At my local library, we have a children's ref desk that goes up to grade 6, plus an adult reference desk.)

However, I do not think junior forks of the following projects would be useful: Wiktionary (unless Simple English Wiktionary is closed down), Wikiquote, Wikisource, Meta, Commons. [[User:Seahen|Seahen]] 19:37, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

This I find would be useful as it should focus on topics that interest children. The other forks of Wikimedia do nothing but reword the articles- articles which many may not choose to read. And they would be better focused in one place. It would also likely be used by schools if there is censorship. Simple English is not helpful for learning (we should not just be able to understand but be able to slowly increase our skills, like learning a complex word once in a while.) We could have hard terms in it, but have the definition next to it. That would make it a truly educational environment. [[User:211.28.125.161|211.28.125.161]] 21:12, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

===WikiPrint===
;Link to Proposal on Mailing List:
None
;Naming Suggestions: WikiPrint, PrintWiki, Wikireal, etc
;Domain Name: wikiPrint.org
;Scope: A charitable venture, by which over a period of time a collection of wikipedia articles are nominated and voted upon for their inclusion in a physical print version of Wikipedia.
;Details: perhaps an extra tab would be added to each page, "Nomination". Based on recieving enough votes (possibly in a variety of categories, such as neutrality), a given article would be included in a print edition. The purpose of this is to expand Wikipedia into areas that do not traditionally have information access, either through the internet or more traditional books. This could include remote villages (requiring multiple language editions). A cheaply produced encyclopedia could help spread education further than it ever has. Even underfunded school districts could benefit. Hopefully donations by the public and by publishers would ensure cheap and easy deployment.

* Demo: @ ScratchLab
* Scope: Open to those logged in, (non users can just edit the summary and stuff, but not the actual clip or license), Wikivideo can become the largest collection of video( clip)s. The option Upload can be seen on top of every page next to your login (ex: Pronoun Upload My Talk etc.).
* Details: We could load videos on here like YouTube, but first they're seen by admins for copyright infringement. Then we don't get sued. We also don't let anything non-essencial in Wikivideo (ex: clip of someone looking at urine for 15 seconds and that's it). If there's a debate about something being essencial or not, a debate can take place.

**I was just thinking of a similar idea to that, only instead of just a collection of clips (that's one of the things that [http://www.commons.wikimedia.org Wikimedia Commons] is for), it would be a cooperative effort to create slideshows, documentaries, and other educational films (cooperative as in some people could record narrations, some people could do video recording, some people could write scripts for the narrations and what should be in the video, etc). --[[User:Gray Porpoise|Gray Porpoise]] 17:38, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

=== WikiEvents ===
This idea involves two existing projects, so it was a bit hard to decide where to go with the idea first. Wikimedia appears to cover them both, so I'll try my luck here. ;)

At the time of writing there are not many news articles and there aren't enough editors to cover them all. So, I tried to find a way to make Wikinews a bit more attractive by promoting it in a non-intrusive way. Basically the idea involves enhancements of the homepages of both Wikinews and Wikipedia.

In addition to the current information on the Wikinews homepage it should add a small list of Wikipedia topic titles which are flagged as being [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events current events] in Wikipedia. If this extra list is implemented the new style homepage will contain additional links to last minute news often found in Wikipedia articles only. It will add value to the news at the Wikinews homepage and it will supply easier access to background info of current events.

Likewise, Wikipedia's homepage should add a small list of headlines of current Wikinews articles. That way the more popular Wikipedia may attract more interest for Wikinews and it strengthens the feeling of Wikipedia being up to date.

== Aramaic/Syriac Wiktionary ==
I propose that the should be a new wiktionary intended for aramaic/syriac speakers. I propose that it be titled "syr.wiktionary.org". This would be a good resource for Chaldeans, Assyrians, Maronites, other Syriac speaking people.

Where can I go about suggesting this? Any questions, buzz me on any of my talk pages, or have a word at [[Wiktionary:Wiktionary talk:Word of the day]] or even [[Wiktionary:Wiktionary:Beer Parlour]].

It's not exactly a project,but i don't now wher to put it.My asumtion is that wikipedia's goal is to beter the world.It's alredy in the top thing sites,in the internet,look at the revenues from advertising of google.So thers great value,in that sence ,in wikipedia.No,i don't propose anoying spams of,have a peanes inlargement,pop ups,or something like that.I propose ,to give advertisment posibiliteas,to none profit,general interest entities,tsunami like releaf programes,Boinc,red cros , care ,linux and whatever you can think of.All this free of charge,so that,is actially a donation of wikipedia to thiese programmes. In a non desruptive maner to the readers,by let them deactivate them if they wich,by a simple clic(only on time),in the preferences for surfing on the wiki.We all,now how ball braking spam is.The prosses of selection,i guess whould be something similar to the prosses of editing articles,in a decentrilized way,to minimise spamers.I mean advertising of contente,that peopol chould not have problem with(save the planet thing).If you freak out,consider,that my atentions are noble,insted of regecting try to propose,something constructive.In a sence,this is alredy hapening,whith the donation,pleas of wikifondation.(and sory for the spelling)>none registered user "chiken".

:I suggest moving it to the talk page ([[Talk:Proposals for new projects]]). On the idea, I think that it would become very hard to decide what is public-interest and what isn't.

== twexter wiki ==

http://twext.cc/dev/summer-of-code.html proposes open software enabling translators to easily format bilingual text to help us learn languages. Interface enables users to easily create "twext" translations and to add new languages.

System promises to build bridges between a wide variety of languages; especially useful with songs, pithy quotes, proverbs, sayings, poems, etc.. System could integrate with variety of softwares, '''including multilingual Wikis'''..

http://twext.cc/open/license.html is currently GPL/CCL, with flexibility to host variable licenses by permission.

Twext language trading system subscribes neither to theory of grammar study (boring), nor to philosophy of "immersion" (stressful), but rather to Stephen Krashen's theory of "Comprehensible Input" http://www.sk.com.br/sk-krash.html

ONE LAPTOP PER CHILD initiative expressed interest in mentoring twexter development for Google Summer of Code 2006. Jim Gettys was interested in Alexander Gelbukh as the active mentor for the project. Unfortunately, students didn't have enough time to produce qualified applications. http://wiki.laptop.org/index.php/OLPC_Google_Summer_of_Code#twexter_language_learning_interface

ALEXANDER GELBUKH http://www.gelbukh.com/ has expressed a keen interest in mentoring development of the twexter language learning interface for inclusion in Google's Summer of Code for 2007, and will ideally convince students to begin development in the academic year of 2006-2007.

http://twext.cc/lucha-libre/lucha-libre1.pdf challenges computer science students in México and around the world to deliver a lean version of twexter, potentially useful to millions of language learners around the world.

http://delyric.tv/delyric.html and http://delyric.tv/twext.html suggest a key use for twext texts, namely to make the world's greatest songs the world's greatest language teachers: DeLYRiC lyrics teach languages.

a WIKI INTERFACE for twexter will enable enable internet users to easily translate and share ideas and free language instruction services.. the lean specification at http://twext.cc/dev/index.html may be relatively easy to integrate with various versions of wiki softwares

==Process Wiki==
A wiki devoted to explaining processes and how to's, for example instructions for joinery or metalworking or cooking ect. could include everthing from photoshop tutorials to instructions on how to upgrade your 54 chevy's drum brakes to disk brakes.

==US Cities in French-language Wikipedia==
A bot is currently needed to create articles on US Towns and counties on foreign language wikis. Much of North America is absent from these wikis. Policy has already been adopted in order to counter eurocentric and francocentric editing. [[User:ADM|ADM]]

==Soap and/or Candle making Wiki==

Although there is a very small wikibook on soapmaking and one on candlemaking, as well as entries in wikipedia, it might be best to give these subjects a seperate wiki project. I belive this would be appropriate given the interdisciplinary nature of the crafts and the breadth of knowledge a wiki of its own would support. For example, soapmaking involves three or more processes, including cold and hot processes and rebatching. It also involves color chemistry, scent chemistry (aromatherapy), a potentially infinite number of soap recipes, moldmaking, all of which areas candlemaking has in common.

Although this project would fit under a larger 'how-to' or instructional wiki, under a crafts section, again I reiterate that having the wiki as a top level project might encourage more participation. Links within wikibooks and other projects should point to this project.

:Extremely specific topics such as this should definitly not have their own projects. [[User:12.149.102.66|12.149.102.66]] 14:44, 26 July 2006 (UTC)Charlie

For a long time I am after it. This leads to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modelica, or tools used by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_engineering. Engineers have tried to establish standards and tools like this. What you probably want is an object oriented process-library of the physical world. It means that volonteers have to translate basic processes into a meta-language, which in the end can be combined to new instructions. Indeed, imagine literature digitalized by WikiSource could be processed into those instructions or formulas. --[[User:Scoid|Scoid]] 11:37, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

As of 2023, the new project proposals process is under review by the Wikimedia Foundation Board. You can still submit proposals, however please note that no new projects will be accepted until this review is complete.

This page hosts proposals for new Wikimedia projects, in line with the new project process.
  • To propose a new language for an existing project, see Requests for new languages.
  • To propose closing an existing project, see Proposals for closing projects.
  • To suggest an enhancement which requires a change to MediaWiki, file a feature request in Phabricator.
  • To propose enhancements to an existing project, visit that project and gather interest there.

Notes to consider[edit]

  • Hosting: Wikimedia Foundation is not a free hosting company. If your project does not fit the Foundation's ideals, download MediaWiki for free and install it on a server you control. Fandom (formerly Wikia) or another wiki farm are also options, but come at the cost of losing control of your project.
  • Need a dedicated project? Think well. Maybe your proposal fits better into one of the existing projects, for example, Wikipedia, Wikibooks, or Commons?
  • History: Individuals attempting to create a new project should read the Wikipedia timeline.
  • Be persistent. Don't take criticism personally. Some users are afraid of repeating mistakes from past projects. Going from an idea to a working wiki takes time and editing and sometimes software development. Be prepared for criticism; if it is a good idea, others will help you out!
  • Demo: It may be useful to start a demo of the wiki along with the proposal. Demo wikis can be created at Wikispore, which is a proposed wiki for seeding new WMF projects. You can also use Fandom, ourproject.org, or any other wiki farm.

The last project to be created was Wikifunctions in 2023. See the history of the project proposal page for Wikidata before it went live. The last one before that was Wikiversity in 2006. Some proposals below are suggesting adopting existing projects. The only time this has happened was when Wikitravel was forked as Wikivoyage and integrated into the Travel guide proposal in 2013. Creating new projects is extremely rare but not impossible. Please consider if what you are proposing is really a new type of information or educational project that cannot fit within the scope of existing projects.

Existing projects

see also the Complete list of Wikimedia projects

Some common proposals could be merged into one of these as a subproject:

Other content projects may be a good fit for what you have in mind:

Instructions[edit]

  1. Create an account and a user page on this wiki, so people can address questions to you.
  2. Create a page describing your plan: enter the project name in the box below and click the button.
  3. Link to your proposal from this page, below.
  4. Advertise your project! Good places to do so are on the Wikimedia Forum and the wikimedia-l mailing-list.

There was a proposed reform of new project process and a proposed community committee to develop a clear policy and documentation for sister project proposals, both of which are currently inactive. The de facto process is described below:

  1. Any proposal may only be approved by the Board of Trustees after a prominent discussion process and a broad and clear consensus (dozens and probably hundreds of supports are needed, and the proposal may be open for years)
  2. Any users in good standing may close or merge any proposal if:
    • it is clearly redundant to another project or project proposal, or is not a serious or intelligible proposal— i.e. jokes, trolling, proposals with extremely vague scope, and patent nonsense (tag "Procedurally closed");
    • it is stale and has few support after a considerable amount of time (tag "Stale");
    • it clearly has no consensus after a considerable amount of time (tag "Rejected").
