Hello all,
As of yesterday, when you go to a missing wiki (the redlinks on
Special:SiteMatrix) you will no longer see a static "this wiki does
not exist" error, but it will redirect to the Wikimedia Incubator,
where there is either a development wiki or an info page inviting you
to start one.

I'm not seeing the problem there, actually; the feedback page itself isn't
up yet (again, just for testing) so editors aren't expected to do anything
with the feedback. Am I missing something?

Feedbacks and Experts for websites are evil.
1. It costs a lot of money
2. Nobody will analyse it really
3. the type of questioning determines the results
4. It is only good for people who want to take no responsibility for

so if you misunderstood what I wrote, it's most likely because my prose was

Hi Steven,
