Wikimedia Incubator is where new languages of Wikimedia projects are developed before being deployed for general use.

Wikimedia Incubator, inaugurated on June 2, 2006, stands as a remarkable digital crucible within the expansive landscape of the Wikimedia Foundation's endeavors. This wiki-based platform, orchestrated by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, shares its virtual home with celebrated projects like Wikipedia, and yet, it carves out a distinctive niche of its own. The Incubator, as its name suggests, serves as the nurturing ground for aspiring language editions of Wikimedia projects, a hallowed space where linguistic diversity finds expression, and cultures take root in the global digital encyclopedia. It is a testament to the Wikimedia Foundation's commitment to inclusivity and the preservation of linguistic heritage that the Incubator was conceived and continues to thrive.
