Summary
[edit]The summary is a group of summary sentences and associated keywords that describe the relevant topic(s). Below is an example.
The first column (after the line number) should be a single sentence. The second column should be a comma-separated list of keywords about that sentence, and so on. Taken together, all the sentences should provide an accurate summary of what was discussed with the specific community.
Summary for the discussion:
| Line | Statement (summary sentence) | Keywords |
| 1 | I hope Wikimedia will focus more on developing the technical side of WikiProjects. | Technical, software |
| 2 | Referring to comment 1: How can we particularly improve technically? I believe that a major problem could be the excessive difficulty of using wiki plugins for non-programmers. | Technical difficulty, non-programmers |
| 3 | Referring to comment 2: This is a major issue that started 15 years ago, when Danny insisted on keeping Wikipedia technically simple in order to allow older computers to run the website. | Technical simplicity |
| 4 | Referring to previous comments: Wikimedia Foundation has made enormous technical improvements recently, such as the visual editor and flow. However, we are still looking for more softwares on Arabic language projects, for example, I had like to see the auto voting tool introduced to Arabic Wikipedia. | Visual editor, flow, vote |
