Tere tulemast Wikimedia Meta-Vikisse (lühidalt ka Meta), mis on Wikimedia sihtasutuse projektide koordineerimise viki.

Praegune otstarve

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. Wikimedia projekte puudutavate eraesseede foorumiks olemine (kuna esseed on tavaliselt erapoolikud, tuleks need erinevaid arvamusi kajastavatel erapooletutel probleemlehekülgedel kokku võtta, kasutades ülesehitusi nagu TIPAESA või IPA)

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

What Meta is not

1. A disposal site for uncorrectable articles from the different Wikipedias
   • If you want to build your own wiki, check out the list of wiki software.
   • If you're looking for a wiki-based community, check out other wiki communities, or MeatballWiki's community list.
   • If you're looking for free webspace, you can find out more about it here.
2. A place to describe the MediaWiki software. The software has its own wiki at MediaWiki.org. Content and pages such as these should be transferred.

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

Meta-Wiki was first created as "Meta-Wikipedia" in November 2001 to make the English Wikipedia less cluttered, by moving all meta-content (content about the Wikipedia website and its users), as opposed to actual content (encyclopedia articles), to a new wiki. Since its upgrade to Wikipedia's custom MediaWiki software, Meta has become a multilingual discussion forum used by all Wikimedia language communities. As the number of Wikimedia projects and translations increased, so too did Meta's scope. Meta comprises 31 767 articles. Many of the older pages here are still worded as being specific to Wikipedia, but arguably many now apply to all Wikimedia projects.
