Hi! Please create the Saterland Frisian Wikipedia ([[Requests for new languages/Wikipedia Saterland Frisian]]) with the following configuration, per approval by the language subcommittee: * subdomain, XML lang code and interwiki link prefix 'stq' * enable [[Special:Import]] between stqwiki and incubatorwiki * name of Wikipedia: Wikipedia * Wikipedia talk namespace: Wikipedia Diskussion I would also like to point to bug 12181 and bug 12399, and also have a personal request related to that. I realise that it is much easier to add several wikis at the same time, and that it saves very much time. However, it is a quite discouraging for the people who have worked very hard to get these projects approved to have to wait for a long time before it is actually created. So my proposal is that we find a middle-way of sorts - that you create new wikis one time each month, regardless of how many wikis are to be created (be it 1 or 10), so that people will not have to wait more than one month from approval to creation. Does that seem acceptable?

I would expect that everyone with basic knowledge of the components of a LAMP platform should be able to acquire the necessary skills within some time. Maybe, there should be a finer-grained hierachy of permissions/tasks, including something like a "developer lite" group, which has exactly circumscribed responsibilies, including the creation of new wikis. I have no idea how much effort the creation of a new wiki takes. I am surprised that it hasn't been fully automated yet, as the basic steps can be expected to be identical each time, just a few variables change. I am so surprised, that this isn't managed by a couple of scripts yet.
(In reply to comment #1) I suggest suggesting this on Wikitech-l instead; not very many people will read this request page. < http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l >
Done.
