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)
Support but why the plural? The singular Wikiabstract seems better, maybe Wikiabstracted? VIGNERON * discut. 08:21, 21 October 2025 (UTC)
- Actually I also do prefer "Wikiabstract" more than "Wikiabstracts". Hakimi97 (talk) 23:23, 21 October 2025 (UTC)
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)
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)

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)

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)

[edit]- This seems to play into one of the exact "misconceptions" people have with the current name. It won't be a project full of summaries. But then again, a lot of them be quite short for quite a while... --99of9 (talk) 02:01, 21 October 2025 (UTC)
