=== 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 not 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 distrbuted 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.

==Requests with working demos==


=== [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)

;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. [[User:Cormaggio|Cormaggio]] [[User talk:Cormaggio|<small>@</small>]] 23:16, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
*I'd like to see a classroom/grading environment added to Wikiversity. I've outlined a few of my ideas and motivations [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:MediaWiki_roadmap#ClassWiki here].

**Wait, so, this would be like a map of Wikipedia, linking one page to another in different areas? As in, i could make a map that contains links to all, lets say, movie directors, and show where they are in what genre of movie they generally make (as in Sci-Fi is at top middle, Action is top left, Horror is top right, then Romance is bottom center, etc. and then chart out a point for each director's movies)? Or is this something different alltogether. I.E. I don't really understand this... --[[User:Quadraxis|Quadraxis]] 00:50, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

If the name is still up in the air, its worth saying that this semester im working on a project for my bachelors thesis called "wikipinion". It is an unrelated project, and i havent decided on the name definetly either. so whatever. msg me at wikipedia talk:Spencerk if you'd like.

;Naming suggestions: Wikiconspiracy, ConspiriWiki, Wikspiracy,

I think it would be neat to creat a wiki that features conpiracy theories. Then we could keep regular sites clean and still give the full flavorful rich part of our culture known as crazy conspiracy theories spread its wings. plus with peer editing alot of those long ramblings could be rendered coherent. could be fun--[[User:Olsdude|Olsdude]] 01:44, 21 January 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.
::2. How would you edit a map? This may require writing specialized software; possible, but would require much work.

**This project would do well in a private wiki; but I don't think it's appropriate for Wikimedia, as its concept does not match the notions of "factuality" and "neutrality" that is withheld in all other Wikimedia projects.

**This is inappropriate to wipe out "vulgar language" in literature, as literature pieces contain vulgar in many occasions, such as ''A Thousand and One Nights'', ''Decameron'' or ''Tropic of Cancer''.

===WikiCitizens===
;Link to request on mailing list: (none)
;Naming suggestions: WikiCitizens
;Domain name: wikicitizens.org
;Scope: WikiCitizens will serve as a forum for accessing information on and discussing all socio-political issues. The goal is to be able to type in any topic and be provided with the perspectives from either side of the issue. When a stance is taken, the website will also allow one to see (and hopefully contribute to) a list of things he or she can do to support that position. Ideally, this will include organizations to join, businesses to solicit, products to buy, political candidates to vote for, representatives to write, bills to support, petitions to sign, and small lifestyles changes to make in order to push policy in favor of that particular cause. It is my hope that this information will be made available at the local, national, and international levels.

== 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. I do speak the language, know its spellings, and I wish to administate this webpage to prevent false definitions of words or mispelled words. I need to know how to establish this wiktionary and to change the fonts used within it. I am Makkow [[User:makkow|makkow]] and i would greatly appreciate the help. Thank you!

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").
