Meta-Wiki

Welcome to Meta-Wiki, the global community site for the Wikimedia Foundation's projects and related projects, from coordination and documentation to planning and analysis.

Other meta-focused wikis such as Wikimedia Outreach are specialized projects that have their roots in Meta-Wiki. Related discussions also take place on Wikimedia mailing lists (particularly wikimedia-l, with its low-traffic equivalent WikimediaAnnounce), IRC channels on Libera, individual wikis of Wikimedia affiliates, and other places.

-But please, follow '''the Wikipedia commentary area rule''': Name your essay either as a subpage of the commentary page, [[/Like this]], or as a subpage of your personal home page, [[Larry Sanger/Like this]].  Expect essays named according to any other convention to be renamed appropriately.  We simply must not run the risk of people mistaking commentary for encyclopedia content.
