I think we need to remove meta from this page. The others are projects we propose to the public. Meta, along with officewiki, boardwiki, advisoryboardwiki, incubatorwiki etc... are all "organizational" wikis. There are not a goal, but simply a mean. Does any one see a reason not to remove it ?

"... '''Nine''' other language editions contain 100,000+ articles, ..."

In my opinion, they have long 13 (without volapuk) - see [[m:List_of_Wikipedias#100 000+ articles]]. May be updating ?--[[User:Kaganer|Kaganer]] 01:01, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

==Wikitionary==
I am slightly concerned the front page of the English Wiktionary says "Wiktionary is run by the Wikimedia Foundation," That seems inaccurate; I left them a note since I don't really edit there. --[[User:AndrewCates|AndrewCates]] ([[User talk:AndrewCates|talk]]) 11:07, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

==Adding Wikivoyage and Wikidata==
Should I just jump on in and do this? [[User:Jmh649|Jmh649]] ([[User talk:Jmh649|talk]]) 03:30, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
: Yes, please. :-) --[[User:MZMcBride|MZMcBride]] ([[User talk:MZMcBride|talk]]) 03:33, 23 December 2012 (UTC)

----

Wikivoyage has now been added. Current issues I see:

* Wikidata still needs to be added
* Top navigation bar doesn't include "Wikivoyage"
** Top navigation bar will also need to include "Wikidata"
* Order of wiki families is unclear; should be cleaned up (pick alphabetical, by age, by size, etc.) and then explain at the top of the page

The top navigation bar also isn't scaling well (in terms of physical width and in terms of color choices). We'll need to re-evaluate it. --[[User:MZMcBride|MZMcBride]] ([[User talk:MZMcBride|talk]]) 01:25, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

== Describing MediaWiki ==

I would like to discuss [http://wikimediafoundation.org/w/index.php?title=Our_projects&diff=86873&oldid=86867 this edit]. All entries are providing some basic statistics. What is wrong about saying that the MediaWiki maintains more than 5 million lines of code? I'm sure most will be surprised by this number. "several projects' alone doesn't do any justice to the hundreds of repositories aka projects that we currently have. Most people don't have a clue what MediaWiki is, and many that do think only about MediaWiki core plus some extentions. But mediawiki.org is a lot more than that.

Also, what is wrong about highlighting the fact that it's not only a community of developers, and many other technical profiles can be found there? Again, this is probably a surprise to many - including many developers and technical profiles, potential contributors unaware about what mediawiki.org has for them. I know the rest of projects are not making calls for contributors but all of them are primarily about editing + uploading media in the case of Commons. MediaWiki is an exception and I think it's worth to stress this.

The entry is quite short related to others. I don't this it hurts to add the little extra. Of course if you have better ways to express this I'm happy to see improvements to my text, but I hope at least the point is clear now. Thanks.--[[User:Qgil|Qgil]] ([[User talk:Qgil|talk]]) 06:15, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
