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

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

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

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)
