- Was this comment meant to be on Wikiverse? --DVrandecic (WMF) (talk) 11:45, 21 October 2025 (UTC)
Oppose No way, it's just a dumbed down version of tidbits, autmagically generated from untrustworthy sources. There is nothing universal about it. Grüße vom Sänger ♫(Reden) 10:49, 21 October 2025 (UTC)
Oppose Neither a Wikipedia, nor universal. At least very unclear, ambiguous and misleading. --Prototyperspective (talk) 14:05, 21 October 2025 (UTC)
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 a more generic name like "Universal Wiki" instead (though I wouldn't necessarily vote for that either), or the existing proposals Wikiversal and Wikiverse. --Waldyrious (talk) 22:04, 21 October 2025 (UTC)
Strong oppose See the hidden discussion below, it's neither universal, nor Wikipedia Grüße vom Sänger ♫(Reden) 11:23, 22 October 2025 (UTC)
- It makes me wonder: do you think that any of the smaller Wikipedias, such as Dagbani, are Wikipedias? --DVrandecic (WMF) (talk) 09:58, 24 October 2025 (UTC)
