Translation?

Shouldn't it be possible to translate this template for the benefit of translations of the main page? If so, how would it work to effectuate that? – McDutchie 06:13, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

People usually just copy it and create a subpage. Cbrown1023 talk 20:58, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

usability.wikimedia.org

What about adding the Wikipedia Usability Initiative?--Kozuch 13:14, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

I don't think it's reasonable to call usability.wm.o a sister project. For that matter, I think the same arguments likely apply to test.wp.o and some others. I'd be in favor of removing more projects, not adding ones. --MZMcBride 21:18, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

I propose removing the following special projects from this template: Bugzilla, Wikipedia Usability, Wikimedia Strategy, Wikimania, and Test Wikipedia. (Keeping MediaWiki, WMF wiki, and Incubator, as all three have previously used Meta as a home.) Alternately, we could add dozens of other special projects (quality, internal, the labs wikis, etc.), but I think that would be a bit silly. --MZMcBride 18:44, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

I would like to see all the major wikis linked on Meta homepage. We can split these into two templates, if you donw want to call the others "sister" ones. I have no idea what the other special projects you mention are (quality, internal etc.), but as long as some of them has its own wiki (I mean an instance of WikiMedia running as a separate website) I will be happy to include these - possibly in the other, new template. I dont know the situation with labs wikis, as far as I have noticed they have no central web (like at labs.wikimedia.org), which I find pitty - dont know how many projects there are, maybe we could create another place for these. Also, do you think WMF web is a sister project? I dont.--Kozuch 07:22, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Maybe this template could be moved to "Otherprojects" - that would solve the issue pretty much.--Kozuch 17:11, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

why removed link to WMF site ?

Why was deleted link to wikimediafoundation site ? --Kaganer 16:43, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I removed the link because it is not a Wikimedia project but a website of an organization. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kozuch (talk • contribs) .

Hi, it is a "backstage" project that is a wiki owned by the Wikimedia foundation. There are far looser projects on this template that I'd rather see off before the foundation's project is. I'm re-inserting it. Killiondude 04:00, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Why not included wikistats ?

Why not included wikistats project ? --Kaganer 17:38, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

 Done - Are included ;) --Kaganer 17:54, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

classify "Backstage" projects

I think the "Backstage" projects could be classified better. Some are technical some are cultural. Suggestions? -- とある白い猫 ^chi? 15:47, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Isn't incubator a content project? I am moving it as such, feel free to revert. :) -- とある白い猫 ^chi? 16:42, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi, I would remove WMF from Backstage projects since it is actually not a "project" in this sence itself and it is also prominently linked at the footer of all wikis (together with MediaWiki, which might also be removed here).--Kozuch 21:22, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Fixed width

To be honest, the fixed width is not particularly nice ...--Kozuch 18:28, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

Tenwiki

Tenwiki: has been closed, so it should probably be removed from the list of backstage projects. --Yair rand 05:09, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

Wiktionary logo

I know, yet another discussion about the Wiktionary logo...

If I recall correctly, Smurrayinchester proposed using a single, large tile when listing Wiktionary as a sister project, since the nine tiles hardly fit a 35-pixel square. So I switched to that image; hope it isn't a problem for anyone. More importantly, there's now a WiktionaryLogo parameter so that the English Main Page, say, could display the same textual logo the English Wiktionary community still uses.

Thank you. This is not the right place to discuss it, but shouldn't we do the same on the portal as well? After all this is certainly the "main" if not only logo. In any case, I think we are not forced to be fully consistent and that it makes sense to use this logo when the space is limited and the other one clearly unsuitable.

Labs link

The link to Wikimedia labs is wrong. It should be //www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Labs, because //mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Labs always forwards to http. πr² (t • c) 15:02, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
