Yes. Kabyle = http://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/kab (over 200
pages already), Lower Sorbian =
http://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/dsb (approx. 300 pages
already), Saterlandic = http://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/stq
(approx. 300 pages already), Latgalian =
http://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Test-wp/bat-ltg (approx. 150 pages
already), Crimean Tatar = http://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/crh
(approx. 100 pages already), Dolomitic Ladin =
http://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/lld (over 40 pages), Karakalpak
= http://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/kaa (unfortunately only 15
pages).

I personally support the creation of all of those except for Dolomitic
Ladin and Karakalpak because those two so far, despite unopposed
requests, have not gotten many pages and it seems their supporters
either left or have abandoned the test-wikis at an early stage.

Yeah, no kidding.
