Wikiblocks

[edit]

An allusion to both the content of this wiki providing the foundation upon which a given language wiki (Wikipedia or otherwise) can grow from, as a starting point that avoids having to build the content entirely from scratch; and also to the nature of the abstract content as abstract building blocks that are pieced together by the natural-language output wikifunctions to produce a finished, human-readable prose.

The term is short, memorable, easy to pronounce, and matches the existing Wiki* naming scheme (-pedia, -source, -quote, etc.). The "block" terminology is common and approachable, and has close cognates in many languages.
