歡迎光臨維基媒體元維基（常簡稱為元維基或元），這是一個用於協調各維基媒體運動的專門的維基。

目的

Meta serves three distinct roles, which are all closely related but often involve different subsets of users.

1. Discussion and formulation of Wikimedia projects, in particular policy discussion relevant to across projects, such as open-content licensing. The central venue for discussion is the Wikimedia Forum. Some high-level discussions, held mainly in 2009, were split to Strategy Wiki.
2. A place for interlingual (cross-wiki) and international coordination concerning the Wikimedia projects and the Wikimedia movement in general, including discussion in languages other than English. This includes requests (for pan-Wikimedia or other wikis), translations and news, and the description, documentation, and discussion of real-life activities and facts related to the Wikimedia Foundation and chapters. See also reports, events, outreach:, and grants.
3. 評論 Wikimedia 專案的個人文章討論地（不一定是中立性觀點）

The categories provide a big-picture representation of Meta's content.

元維基不是什麼？

元維基不是：

1. 一個用來修補來自各維基專案（例如維基百科）文章的地方
2. 一個用於發佈任何原創文章的場所
   • 如果你是在找一個用wiki構建的社群，參考MeatballWiki的社群清單
   • 如果你是在尋找免費空間，這兒有一個列表
   • 如果你想建造自己的wiki，試試SeedWiki這個免費的wiki或者參考維基引擎列表
3. 用來描述MediaWiki軟體的場所，該軟體有它自己的維基MediaWiki.org，相關頁面應該專移至其網站

Community

It has often been discussed whether Meta has a community. What's sure is that it doesn't have a community of its own, separate from the communities of the Wikimedia projects: as someone said, «a meta-project — existing for and about the other Wikimedia wikis, not as a content project to itself — a community of communities, rather than its own little island community».

This also means that many discussions, processes and other activities happen on Meta, with different participants and people in charge (if any) – for instance, among many, some Wikimedia committees, the stewards, the WMF staff for grants –: none of them, and all of them, is Meta. Meta is the space and the tool for their participants to achieve their objectives, not an actor in them; and even less a power over them.

Strictly speaking, however, there is a community specific to Meta: it's a loose group of people regularly active in some or many such activities (especially as "gardeners"), who care about Meta serving the purpose above, and who are more likely to intervene to ensure it does.

"Metawikian" is a term also used sometimes, to indicate a member of the specific "Meta community", that is the community of Meta regulars who are more often active on Meta, for instance as contributors to its content pages or as facilitators of other discussions and processes.

Origins

元維基於2001年11月創建，當時的名稱是「元維基百科」，作用是討論維基百科大政方針、遷移元數據（例如目錄、使用者資訊）使維基百科更純粹。 隨著維基計劃數量逐漸增多，元維基的規模逐漸擴大。但有爭議的是，由於歷史原因，許多舊頁面是針對維基百科設定的，但它們對新的維基計劃仍然有效。
