This wiki provides information and news about subject behaviors. Other news goes on Wikinews. I proposed this to categorize news.

This is a proposal for a new Wikimedia sister project.

Details of the proposal
Project descriptionThis project would be about behaviors of subjects (mainspace). The slogan would be: "The free behavior directory". It can be part of Wikimedia because it is informational. It would help people who need to write about behavior-related events. This should be separate from Wikipedia to categorize content, like how Wikispecies separates species-related content from Wikipedia. BLPs still may not be intended to threaten their subjects.
Is it a multilingual wiki?No
Potential number of languagesmultiple

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, versus I proposed Wikihavior to help organize encyclopedic content and separate behavior-specific encyclopedic content from other encyclopedic content, which will still go on Wikipedia.
Wikinews is a newspaper that collects all news, versus I proposed Wikihavior to help organize news and separate behavior-specific news from other news, which will still go on Wikinews.

Wikihavior would add information and news specific to behavior (BLPs are only allowed under certain criteria).
