Incubator:Software information and news
Wikimedia Incubator extension ("the extension")
The WikimediaIncubator extension is an extension of MediaWiki designed to extend the usage of the Wikimedia Incubator. The main developer is SPQRobin, with the other bureaucrats helping out occasionally to ensure that the extension works well.
Go to your preferences and set the "test wiki" preference (below the language setting) to the wiki you are working on. Select the Wikimedia project and enter the language code.
Now the sidebar has a section "Wx/xyz" depending on your entered wiki. It includes links to the main page and recent changes of your wiki, as well as a random page within your wiki.
The logo will also change to the respective project. When working on a Wikipedia, the Wikipedia logo will display on your test wiki pages.

Software deployment
1.18
On 27 September 2011, MediaWiki 1.18 was deployed to Incubator. If your language uses a different script, especially a right-to-left (RTL) one, like Arabic, please read the following.
All pages of a test wiki in a language recognised by the software, will be marked as such. This means e.g. Wt/arz (Egyptian Arabic Wiktionary) will be marked as lang="arz" dir="rtl" class="mw-content-rtl", so the text direction will be automatically right-to-left, also while editing. The table of contents, bullets, ... will display properly.
For languages not (yet) recognised by the software, like Wp/ayl (Libyan Arabic Wikipedia), it is set to lang="en" dir="ltr". To circumvent this, you can put <div dir="rtl" class="mw-content-rtl"> before the content and </div> at the end of the page.
If your language needs a different default font, it can be added to MediaWiki:Common.css (example). Contact administrators for this.
