Abstract Wikipedia/Abstract Wikipedia naming contest/Wikipedia Babel

Wikipedia Babel

Same idea as the "Wikimedia Babel" proposal, but uses the name Wikipedia since it produces Wikipedia-style content and people are familiar with the name.

Support Only obvious option. Nardog (talk) 09:54, 21 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Not a normal Wikipedia and therefore misleading. Also unclear and Babels is not fitting what this is about. --Prototyperspective (talk) 13:45, 21 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose --Waldyrious (talk) 22:11, 21 October 2025 (UTC) (see discussion)[reply]
Oppose as the proposed utility is not useful at Wikipedia, also it is useful at sister wikis. Gryllida 11:41, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per above (it's not a Wikipedia, and it would sound like you're referring to Extension:Babel). YoshiRulz (talk) 18:46, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Too much religious and fictional baggage. Stuartyeates (talk) 08:52, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It will be used for all projects, not only Wikipedia. That includes Wikivoyage and Wiktionary articles etc. ♥Ainali ^talk_{contributions} 18:04, 19 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Same with the reason that I mentioned on "Wikimedia Babel" naming proposal, the usage of "Babel" template itself has also been well established on English Wikipedia, so the naming of "Wikipedia Babel" might cause confusion to everyone. Hakimi97 (talk) 03:38, 21 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
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 the more generic names WikiBabel and Wikimedia Babel instead. --Waldyrious (talk) 22:11, 21 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
