  2. Support Support Best conveys what this is about. Naḥum (talk) 12:30, 20 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Support Support Hakimi97 (talk) 13:31, 20 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  4. Support Support I like the word "abstract", but "Abstract Wikipedia" sounds too banal, so I prefer this one. Tc14Hd (talk) 22:56, 20 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  5. Support Support but why the plural? The singular Wikiabstract seems better, maybe Wikiabstracted? VIGNERON * discut. 08:21, 21 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Actually I also do prefer "Wikiabstract" more than "Wikiabstracts". Hakimi97 (talk) 23:23, 21 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  6. Support Support Good that it does not include Wikipedia in the title and so will not be so misleading. The title makes some sense. Prototyperspective (talk) 13:48, 21 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  7.  Weak support. I like that this uses "wiki" rather than "Wikipedia", keeping things more generic and not limiting the new project to encyclopedic articles. Also, using the plural "abstracts" may help with the confusion about what "abstract" means, by providing a more "concrete" (heh) image of simplified content snippets that can stand in for fully developed, custom-written content — but then again, I am familiar with the concept of abstracts from academic publications. I'm not sure it would be recognizable to a large portion of the population... --Waldyrious (talk) 23:08, 21 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  10. Support Support per above. "Abstract" has always been a good approximator of what the project is, and I like the pun on "Abstract" as in "article abstract", which is indeed what the minimally-written articles would amount to. Aaron Liu (talk) 21:19, 23 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  15. Oppose Oppose since I wouldn't consider the new project to be producing "abstracts" in the academia sense, and we've already established that the term is confusing. YoshiRulz (talk) 18:05, 26 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
