Wikibridge

Abstract wikipedia links together other wiki projects. Bridge is therefore an apt and intuitive name which suggests information travelling from sources to a destination.

• If I were to encounter this name for the first time, I would most certainly think that the project is about bridges. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 14:03, 9 October 2025 (UTC)

  +1 Bridge is only for english people and confusing for all other languages. Going to the latin, the prefix ponti should lead to pontiwiki, useless. --Havang(nl) (talk) 15:50, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

  Why translate the name? In, Italian, it should be "WikiBridge", all the world will understand it. :) Una tantum (talk) 09:53, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

  A bridge of 2 wikis! Henrydat (talk) 14:51, 22 October 2025 (UTC)

•  Oppose I dispute the premise that the new project is about linking together other Wikimedia projects. Linking together language communities maybe? "Bridge" is also programming jargon, though it doesn't describe the new project or Wikifunctions. Sitelinks in Wikidata is closer to linking or "bridging".
