Ti̍k-sik
- What language features are challenging?
- Diacritics usage in text, e. g. no possibility for an Ö/ö with an accent grave (like À/à)
- Because of the lack of a standardized orthography, article titles are written in Standard German, so linking is complicated.
- What would surprise the outside reader about the community?
- very friendly atmosphere in discussions in contrast to the rough atmosphere on de:wp
- What are some unique practices/characteristics?
- Titles of articles are written in Standard German but are overlaid by an Javascript-based Alemannic title
- Everybody could write in his/her own dialect. If other users want to contribute to a given article they usually add new chapters in their dialect, so the dialect may change within an article.
- Every article with less than 5 sentences is deleted.
- All Alemannic Wikimedia projects have been merged. Other projects are now part of Wikipedia as separate namespaces: Wikisource, Wikiquote, Wiktionary, Wikibooks, Wikinews.
- Who were the earliest participants, who started it?
- Traroth, Chlämens, Melancholie, and J. 'mach' wust
- Other prominent Wikipedians?
- some linguists who work on Alemannic language
