== Metawiki or Mewiki / Tame ? ==

I suggest use Metawiki, Metawik, Mewiki or '''Tame''' (meTAwikiMEdia) for the project.--[[User:BoldLuis|BoldLuis]] ([[User talk:BoldLuis|talk]]) 10:07, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

:: Use an unique (proper) name for the project and avoid the employ of hyphens. --[[User:BoldLuis|BoldLuis]] ([[User talk:BoldLuis|talk]]) 10:12, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

:::: To have an unique (proper) name, as Wikipedia. You do not need to use "Wikimedia Wikipedia". Only say "Wikipedia". Insted of this, there is a lot "metawikis". So you need to say two words to talk about the project "Wikimedia Meta-Wiki" and use a hypen ( - ). It is shorter "Tame" or "Mewiki". We can say: "you / we are in Tame" or "you are in Mewiki". --[[User:BoldLuis|BoldLuis]] ([[User talk:BoldLuis|talk]]) 10:18, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
::::: How is "Meta-Wiki" not unique? [[User:1234qwer1234qwer4|𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰]] ([[User talk:1234qwer1234qwer4|𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠]]) 10:20, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
:::::: It is not. There are other wikis that have metawikis / meta-wikis to talk about the project. Because of this, you use "Mediawiki Meta-Wiki" instead, including an annoying hyphen (originally, the name was Meta-Wikipedia). --[[User:BoldLuis|BoldLuis]] ([[User talk:BoldLuis|talk]]) 10:22, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
::::::: Why is a hyphen annoying? Could you also point to specific wikis which are known under the name "Meta-Wiki"? [[User:1234qwer1234qwer4|𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰]] ([[User talk:1234qwer1234qwer4|𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠]]) 10:33, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
:::::::: It also happened in e-mail and email [https://www.writewithjean.com/2011/08/06/that-annoying-hyphen-is-gone/] and other words. Other metawikis: [http://meatballwiki.org/wiki/MetaWiki], [https://web.archive.org/web/20021015111152/http://sunir.org/apps/meta.pl], [https://wiki.c2.com/?MetaWiki], [https://ratdevlog.wordpress.com/2012/08/08/metawiki/], [https://outgoing.typepad.com/outgoing/2005/05/metawiki.html], these last ones about metawiki capabilities and creating a page with pieces of another wiki pages, [http://help.novapoint.com/doku.php?id=meta:start] and so on. --[[User:BoldLuis|BoldLuis]] ([[User talk:BoldLuis|talk]]) 11:09, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

Amharic Wiktionary: Admins, Templates, Counter

  1. I think there's a problem with the counter on the amharic version of wiktionary because I've created about 20 pages (of contents) since November 2 and I've never seen it change the number of total pages. It's a little bit frustrating.
  2. Is there any admin there? I ask this because I don't know where to submit some requests (E.G for bot account or to import xml from other wikt)
  3. Last but not least: is it possible to import or create (if yes how) Translation templates like {trans-top}? Abreham97 (talk) 08:57, 11 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
@Abreham97 Probably not the right venue, but amwikt does not have sysops, and you can add translations on Translatewiki. ~~~~
