Isn't it funny that the documentation says it's meant to be used as interwiki link to other Wikivoyage languages, but for specifically Wikivoyage languages in early development in Incubator, and then later on doesn't actually list Wikivoyage in the list of supported test wikis, it doesn't work to add it there, and defaults to test Wikipedia? I can't help but think that this template wasn't really thought through. Polda18 (discussioncontributions) 09:37, 18 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Swept in from the pub

Hello. I noticed the existence of {{Incubator}} template. Documentation is rather contradictory as it first states it's for linking another language Wikivoyage like interwiki does, but for Incubator test Wikivoyage instead, and then the rest of the documentation says default project is Wikipedia and Wikivoyage isn't even listed at all. I began my question at Template talk:Incubator if that is intended or somebody wasn't quite paying attention while copying template over from Wikipedia I guess. It's rather confusing and I don't know if that template is even needed. However it seems like it would be quite useful template to raise awareness of newly developed languages of Wikivoyage (just a side note, we're building a Czech Wikivoyage over on Incubator), but that would be only possible if Wikivoyage was even supported (yes, I have tried it on Wikivoyage:Graffiti wall, didn't save the changes, only displayed a preview, which is enough). I intended to come here and use that template to link up newly developed article over on the Czech Wikivoyage that's still in Incubator, to kind of bring more people into it, hopefully fellow Czech people living abroad or knowing English enough they are active here. But there are more languages of Wikivoyage currently developed, and I can see the template isn't actually used anywhere. What is the true purpose of the template then?

@Congariel:, as you evidently imported it. —Justin (koavf)TCM 06:41, 20 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
Hello and thanks for notifying me. I have imported from Wikipedia to Wikivoyage for linking Wikivoyage Incubators, hope you guys find it useful. I guess more work need to be done on this template. Congariel (talk) 15:06, 26 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
Seems like it's intended to be at phrasebooks, which seems sensible enough. —Justin (koavf)TCM 06:48, 20 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
I see. It does specify a language article, which may indeed mean a phrasebook. I didn't quite notice that at first. Polda18 (discussioncontributions) 07:22, 20 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
Yes, that's correct. Congariel (talk) 15:09, 26 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
