There should be wikibooks, wikiquote and wikivoyage community projects
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

Commons, All-and-every-Wikisource, All-and-every-Wiktionary seem to be quite useful. Suggest we add projects for the other distinct communities as well. We seem to have plenty tickets that would qualify for them.

Please see T802 for criteria. I only want to create such projects if there's a committed team looking at tasks associated to these projects.

Why ? We have dozens of unmaintained extensions that no one is looking after that get a tag.

If the problem is the color and the team character of the other community projects, then I propose we create generic 'wikibooks.org' and 'wikiquote.org' and 'wikivoyage' yellow tag labels.

Please see my concerns in T802 and (in short:) define a scope and how this helps somebody with her/his work and who is committed to set that tag on tasks and triage them.
When that's sorted out and clear I'm happy to create such projects.

(Also, having dozens of unmaint. projects isn't a great argument to add a few more to them... :)

I could help maintaining those projects. I have no experience in wikivoyage but I think I could manage to help.

Any updates here? Is there still an intrest concerning creating these project? In this case I would do this, but I need a update first.

Just noting as a reminder to prevent forgetting without commenting anything: Wikiversity and Wikispecies haven't been mentioned.

And how about Wikinews?

Do we have a need for these projects?

Some use cases:

  • find out config requests/changes related to such project
  • find out stuff influencing such projects (typically bugs in extensions, extension set up etc...)

... define ... how this helps somebody with her/his work and who is committed to set that tag on tasks and triage them.

Re how this helps - see my comment above - whoever is interested in such project (by which I mean Wikibooks sites, Wikiquote sites, etc... not projects in Phab) may need to find relevant info on how is the status quo on other language versions of it...
Re setting the tag - myself (and @Gerardduenas offered himself in T93486#1144382)
Re triaging the tasks - since it is rather tag to group related tasks, it does not need triaging that much, besides now we can turn workboards off. However I can imagine even triaging of such tasks on such workboards (as I've triaged already several tags)

Since I see more pros and supports as well as tokens I am willing to create such projects and do the appropriate tagging.

Some use cases:

  • find out config requests/changes related to such project

Config changes for Wikimedia sites can already be found under Wikimedia-Site-requests. They are usually language / site specific and not on a sister project level, which this task is about.

  • find out stuff influencing such projects (typically bugs in extensions, extension set up etc...)

I am worried of adding twelve sister project tags to each and every extension task which will only heavily clutter the interface and create lots of noise for no gain. Because many folks already add those tags incorrectly; see T196740#6008994. I nowadays do not consider this a good idea at all, as I wrote in T802#6270647.

In general, as I tried to express in T93486#1140230: If interest by a specific group is expressed and that group will maintain the Phabricator project and look at its tasks regularly, that could be an option. But also see T254555#6195459 for an extensive list of links and past conversations about this topic.

Declining for the time being per my previous comments.
