Hi all,
It would be beneficial to have a wiki of our own, since it would for
example reduce the risk of newcomers getting lost among all the other
Wikiversity pages. The latest peer reviewer I came in contact with found
the structure to be rather confusing, so with a wiki of our own we'd be
able to have a much simpler page.
Yet, it shouldn't be disconnected from Wikimedia projects. I wouldn't want
us to move all the pages to an external site, making us need to move all
the pages again when it's approved as a Wikimedia sister project. The ideal
solution would be something like the Wikimedia Incubator
<https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Incubator:Main_Page> but that one
only works for new language versions of existing wikis.
Best regards,
Mikael

I think having a test wiki is excellent. Many thanks. This is a critical
step towards one day being our own sister site. This will increase our
reputation significantly.

As I did migrate content from wikis few times, I assure you it's hard to move from a wikiproject to an entire wiki once you're really "rooted" in the wiki + You are not free to organize your project because you share a wiki (no custom Sidebar, Extensions, configuration, CSS, categories). But do what you want ! :)
