An extinct proto-language. --Millosh (talk) 07:40, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
The community needs to develop an active test project; it must remain active until approval (automated statistics, recent changes). It is generally considered active if the analysis lists at least three active, not-grayed-out editors listed in the sections for the previous few months.

Enable uploads
no
Default is "no". Preferably, files should be uploaded to Commons.
If you want, you can enable local file uploading, either by any user ("yes") or by administrators only ("admin"). Notes: (1) This setting can be changed afterwards. The setting can only be "yes" or "admin" at approval if the test creates an Exemption Doctrine Policy (EDP) first. (2) Files on Commons can be used on all Wikis. (3) Uploading fair-use images is not allowed on Commons (more info). (4) Localisation to your language may be insufficient on Commons.
I request permission for an Old High German Wikipedia to be created on the Incubator. --Horrifico (talk) 22:09, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
I support, a wiki has been created for Old English, why not Old High German or Old Saxon? --Stardsen (talk) 20:44, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
Just do it: incubator:Wp/goh, incubator:Wp/goh/Houpitsîta. You [usually?] don't need permission to create an incubator wiki for a language with an ISO code. πr2 (t • c) 04:58, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
