Re: the creation of new wikipedia language portal

Hi,

Such a project started already. It's in the "incubator" stage. See
https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/arq

Several things need to happen for this project to acquire its own domain,
probably arq.wikipedia.org , but the most important thing is that this
project needs to have active writers. The current writing activity is low:
see
https://tools.wmflabs.org/meta/catanalysis/index.php?cat=0&title=Wp/arq&wiki=incubatorwiki#distribution_201506

If you write there more, it will be eventually approved.

For more information, see:
