Abstain[edit]

As it is I Oppose Oppose, I would be on favor if it was dedicated just for publishing works. as it is is redundant. --167.63.49.24 02:37, 2 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Other comments[edit]

  1. It's not clear what kind of wiki this would be:
    1. An encyclopedia, such as w:wp:WikiProject Mathematics, w:MathWorld and less active projects like w:PlanetMath, w:Encyclopedia of Mathematics?
    2. A concise wiktionary-like reference for concepts and proofs (including minor results), such as ProofWiki?
    3. A learning resource, which could be integrated into Wikiversity?
    If there's another model that doesn't have a wiki as of now, I'd be happy to know. --Bart Michels (talk) 16:09, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
