This task is about identifying the Wikipedias that will participate in the A/B test of Topic Subscriptions.
There are two parts to this task:
1. Identifying potential wikis for inclusion in the Topic Subscriptions A/B test
2. Confirming with these wikis that they are comfortable participating in the Topic Subscriptions A/B test
=== Selection Criteria
The "Candidate wikis" ought to, collectively, meet the following requirements:
1. There is a large enough number of people editing talk pages each month for the A/B test to reach "significance" in a relatively short amount of time
2. Wikis whose editors are likely to come from a variety of different locations
3. Wikis whose editors use a variety of languages and scripts to communicate
4. Wikis whose monthly talk page editors are comprised of significant numbers of Junior and Senior Contributors
