editHi, we did add a proposition for a new project. We would be glad to have your feedbacks. Here it is : https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikiwebsites
It's about a "Library of free projects" (excluding software). Art, science, architecture, comics, movies, pictures,... which can be found under Creative commons licences, but also Open hardware, GFDL, public domain, Art Libre, FOIA… Graineahumus (talk)
Could someone administrator move the following pages to capitalize their title as the others pages of the series :
Thank you ! Yug (talk) 17:11, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
- This requires a sysadmin to do. You are welcome to file a Phabricator task requesting it be done. Personally, while my opinion carries no technical weight, I would talk to the Wikimedia Foundation brand team first before moving their cheese like this. * Pppery * it has begun 04:43, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
When will Termbase be revived?
edit
Termbase used to be a great resource for anybody trying to bridge language gap on Metawiki. Why do we abondon such common tool? Are we sure we are equipped to share knowledge, if we imply a single word in different ideas? Have we not invented many jargons/Wikimedia specific terms which traps you to miscommunicate (?_?) -- Omotecho (talk) 13:46, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
- Termbase was not explicitly abandoned. The entire Movement Strategy and Governance page and all its subpages were marked as historical in one fell swoop. I think it would be reasonable to resurrect it and implement Xeno (WMF)'s original proposal from phab:T314007 to move it out of limbo. * Pppery * it has begun 17:48, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
- Personally speaking as a member of the former MSG team, I would not object to moving Termbase out of MSG's page setup to somewhere where it could be more beneficial for Meta translators. RamzyM (WMF) (talk) 02:58, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

edit- You can find this message translated into additional languages on Meta-wiki. Please help translate to your language
Dear community members,
The Community Affairs Committee (CAC) of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees invites you to give feedback on a draft Procedure for Sibling Project Lifecycle. This draft Procedure outlines proposed steps and requirements for opening and closing Wikimedia Sibling Projects, and aims to ensure any newly approved projects are set up for success. This is separate from the procedures for opening or closing language versions of projects, which is handled by the Language Committee or closing projects policy.
You can find the details on this page, as well as the ways to give your feedback from today until the end of the day on June 23, 2024, anywhere on Earth.
You can also share information about this with the interested project communities you work with or support, and you can also help us translate the procedure into more languages, so people can join the discussions in their own language.
On behalf of the CAC,
