Wikipedia:Define namespace
 | This is a proponed policie, gideline, or method for the Scots Wikipedia. This page isna policie yet, but micht be suin. Hae a leuk o its claik page for tae find oot mair aboot it. |
This owerture will bi written in braken Scots (mastly Inglis - especially bi the end) faer aw purposes. Sorry faer gibberish.
I propone the creation o a new namespace, the Define namespace wi its associatit tauk namespace. This namespace will act lyke a Scots Wiktionar, but it will be hostit here on Scots Wikipedie.
Ither wikis[eedit soorce]
A few ither wikis do something similar til this.
- Appendix namespace
Spanish Wikipedia (es.wiki) haes a namespace called Anexo faer leets, indices, an ither things. Ye can read aboot it here.
- Wikinews
Accordin tae Meta-Wiki, at least fower Wikipedias host some furm o Wikinews on their main wiki.
- Wiktionar
I can confirm that at least twa Wikipedias do somethin lyke this: Bavarian Wikipedia an Classical Chinese Wikipedia.
Alternatives[eedit soorce]
We could try tae revive the incubator project. Houaniver, that wad hae some dounsides. (1) It wad split our wiki in twa. Twa sets o admeens, twa watchleets, twa o everythin. (2) Thare is nae guarentee Language committee wad appruive a Scots Wiktionar if we donna hae the activity tae promuive it as its awn wiki.
Why?[eedit soorce]
Well, I believe Scots Wikipedia should be on the forefront of Wikimedia innovation. A lot of smaller language Wikipedias just go without being able to translate words systematically, so their Wikipedia project suffers for it. We already have Portal:Scots on English Wikisource, so we have no need for our own Wikisoorce.
Sco.wiki exists to promote the Scots language, and we really can't do that well without a good dictionary. –MJL ‐Tauk‐☖ 22:35, 22 Dizember 2019 (UTC)
