These are German dialects and (I suppose) everyone who speaks them, also
understands German ("hochdeutsche") Wikipedia. Almost all written text
is in German, those dialects are exclusively used in the spoken language
(there might be some rare exceptions).
So I guess while it's fine to have Wikipedia language version in local
dialects of German, it should not be a priority.
Denny's question is key:
