Metalingua Wikipedia

[edit]

Alternatively, Metalingual Wikipedia. Variant of "Metalingua Wiki." If we really want to make distictions between "written in multiple languages" and "outputs in multiple languages," we should use "multilingual" (e.g. Wikisource) vs "metalingua(l)."

Discussion

[edit]
  •  Weak oppose due to the "Wikipedia" in the name. This project should not be limited to encyclopedic articles; instead, it should enable (and encourage) the community to produce multilingual content of many kinds (for Wikivoyage, Wikiversity, Wikinews, Wikidata item descriptions, Meta page contents, Commons category descriptions, etc.). I would suggest the proposer and supporters to consider the more generic name Metalingua Wiki instead. --Waldyrious (talk) 22:14, 21 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
