Direct and to the point, relates to the project's goals. Template is a MediaWiki jargon term, but that's probably fine since this isn't end-user-facing anyway. Also worth considering TemplateWiki/TemplatesWiki. PiRSquared17 (talk) 02:37, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
This wiki won't be about templates, but about functions. On top of it the same issue with translation into German occurs, that does with Wikifunctions. (see above) --CamelCaseNick (talk) 16:03, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- @CamelCaseNick: Where is the ambiguity in "Wikivorlagen"/"Wikischablonen"? 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 17:58, 20 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - @1234qwer1234qwer4: Schablone? stencil? Definitely not the correct German word here. Wikivorlagen would be. It could be confused with the namespace Vorlagen: (Template:) in German projects using MediaWiki (which most German Wikimedia projects happen to be). The reason for ambiguity comes from the how German compound words work and Wikivorlagen is a perfectly normal German word meaning the template for or of a Wiki and cannot as a German word (unless used as a name) mean Wiki of Templates. This is absolutly confusing. --CamelCaseNick (talk) 18:14, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    - @CamelCaseNick: I am basically a native German speaker, and while I see "Wikivorlagen" could mean "Vorlagen des Wikis", I don't think this is any different from how "Wikiwörterbuch" can be interpreted. 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 22:39, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
