• I'd prefer a plural form, like with Wikibooks. "Wikimedia Algorithms" sounds not so bad in my opinion. 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 20:44, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
• This does seem like an appropriate name. Does Wikialgorithms or Wikimedia Algorithms have a better ring to it? Currently the only project names that have a "Wikimedia" prefix are Commons, Meta-Wiki, Incubator, and -- if you count it as a project -- Cloud Services.

@1234qwer1234qwer4 and PiRSquared17: Hi greetings, changed the name as per your suggestion. Regards.--Path slopu (talk) 05:00, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

• I like the idea of Wikimedia Algorithms but with an official nickname WikiAlgo (or Wiki Algo, Wiki-Algo ...?), and domain algo.wikimedia.org. But if W?F Marketing drops the "Wikimedia" branding then what happens? —Pelagic (talk) 10:42, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
