The Wikimedia Incubator is the project hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation where potential new language versions of Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wikinews, Wikiquote, Wiktionary and Wikivoyage can be set, written, tested and proven worthy of being hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation in the future. Even though ase trial wikis do not yet have air own site, ay can be used like any additional Wikimedia project wiki. However, two current sister projects develop air test projects outside of the Wikimedia Incubator. Potential new language versions of Wikiversity are supposed to go to Beta Wikiversity and those of Wikisource to Old Wikisource.[1]
Since it was launched in June 2006, over 80 new Wikimedia wikis were created and imported from the Incubator.[2]
