Wikipedia Multilingua

[edit]

This is similar to Multilingual Wikipedia but beginning with "Wiki". It would be in line with the names of the currently existing Wikimedia projects, since all of them have "Wiki" (or at least "Wik") as their first letters.

[edit]
  •  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 to consider "Wiki Multilingua" or "Wikimedia Multilingua" instead. --Waldyrious (talk) 21:51, 21 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Oppose It's not a Wikipedia but a few sentences of Wikidata statements being turned into natural language. It's misleading, especially for most readers who aren't very active editors, and inadequate to give it a 'Wikipedia' name. This is closer to Wikidata than to Wikipedia so I wonder why there is only one proposal with Wikidata in the name. --Prototyperspective (talk) 23:17, 21 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
