Automatically add new official Wiki Languages
Open, LowPublic

Description

Background

As of May 2024, Wikipedia articles have been created in 342 editions, with 329 currently active and 13 closed. The official Wikipedia app should support all active editions of Wikipedia, and support new editions as they come online.

Requirements:
  • Add any active Wikipedia editions that are currently missing from the App
  • The app should only include inactive versions if they are necessary testing, such as test and test2
  • After a new language wiki officially launches, it should be added into the app automatically
  • Wikimedia Incubator wikis should be excluded

There's some complications here with Wikimedia Incubator projects sneaking in - I'm going to pause this work and find another way to fix T364408.
