Description of how the idea for this logo developed

The square brackets "" similar to those in the MediaWiki logo refer to wiki-syntax, but when connected with dotted lies the overall impression is that of an open book. The directed arrows coming out of a circle are inspired by the Wikimedia Commons Logo, and refer to the collaborative and always expanding nature of wikis. But unlike Commons with is a common resource for all other WikiMedia projects, Wiktionary defines words from all other project to produce a complete set of material (a dictionary) that 'is box-in". Therefore the central space is a square, but the top and bottom edges are not whole, because the content of Wiktionary is open.
