Apart from the common practices below, there is no official policy on closing projects
This page hosts proposals for closing down existing Wikimedia Foundation projects, and provides a forum for discussing the relevant arguments for or against these proposals. Please list each proposal on a separate subpage, and make sure that you add in details to explain why you think the project is no longer useful to the Wikimedia Foundation, links to where the project is currently working at, and links to any discussions prior to its being listed on this page. Do not forget to warn the project itself and/or its language community in Wikimedia in the best possible way and add a link to it in the proposal. Proposals with no fair warnings to the projects will be ignored. These pages are for discussion. Providing reasons after your votes is encouraged and appreciated. If this is not the first time a project has been nominated for closure, please compare prior discussions to the current situation and circumstances. Experience shows that repeating a failed proposal wouldn't work. See also:

- ↑ Votes confirmation is a measure developed by Irpen. He proposed that only votes from people who already had registered account in any of the Wikimedia projects by the time when the discussion started are taken into consideration. To verify or "confirm" the vote, according to his proposition each user should write his Meta account username on his talkpage in local project, take the diff link of this edit and place it on his userpage here in Meta. After that all votes by this user in discussions which started after this user's registration in local project are considered "confirmed".
If votes confirmation was not used for some discussion all non-anonymous votes are considered confirmed. Note that there is no need to write two values ("total (confirmed)") into this table in such a case.
- Closed proposals are listed on Proposals for closing projects/Archive.
