Talk:Our projects

From Wikimedia Foundation Governance Wiki

See editable version for updates on Meta-Wiki.

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 ?

I'm ok with the removal. guillom 19:03, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Agree as well. --Mbimmler 20:41, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Moved from the source file for translation too. --Aphaea 05:29, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia: count 100k+ editions

"... 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 ?--Kaganer 01:01, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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. --AndrewCates (talk) 11:07, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is being discussed at wikt:en:Talk:Main Page, for anybody who is interested. Rjd0060 (talk) 22:15, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I just came here to post the same, except I was going to provide a permanent link: <https://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Wiktionary_talk:Main_Page&oldid=18064955#Main_page_error.3F>. :-) --MZMcBride (talk) 04:29, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Adding Wikivoyage and Wikidata

Should I just jump on in and do this? Jmh649 (talk) 03:30, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, please. :-) --MZMcBride (talk) 03:33, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

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. --MZMcBride (talk) 01:25, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not a div expert but perhaps we could have the entries organized in two divs that would stand next to each other while they fit in one line, but then be one on top of the other if the width of the page is reached?--Qgil (talk) 06:18, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Describing MediaWiki

I would like to discuss 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.--Qgil (talk) 06:15, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
