The Silesian Misplaced Pages (Silesian: Ślůnsko Wikipedyjo / Ślōnskŏ Wikipedyjŏ) is the Silesian edition of Misplaced Pages. It was started on 26 May 2008.

History

The first attempt to launch the Silesian Misplaced Pages project took place in March 2006, but because of negative comments in the discussion section, the proposal was rejected. In 2007 Misplaced Pages officially registered the Silesian language in its list of languages. The International Linguistic Organization SIL International followed this step on 18 July 2007 and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) assigned it the ISO code "szl".

A second application for a Misplaced Pages project in the Silesian language was submitted on 19 March 2008 as a result of discussions on the removal of articles written in Silesian language, which remained in the Polish edition of Misplaced Pages (in Silesia Wikiproject). After the initial acceptance of the proposal (100% positive, 0% negative votes) 31 March 2008, a test project was created in the Incubator Wikimedia projects. The following month it contained 100 articles in Silesian, including more than 1,800 separate pages. After two months all eight requirements necessary to create a new Misplaced Pages were implemented and finally Silesian Misplaced Pages was founded on 26 May 2008. The 1,000th article was included on 15 November 2008.

In October 2010, the Silesian Misplaced Pages was mentioned as one of the arguments for Silesian to become one of the regional languages in Poland. The project of the law implementing Silesian as a regional language was introduced to Sejm by parliament member Marek Plura.
