Meta, Meta-Wiki or Wiki Meta-Wiki (meta.wikimedia.org) is a wiki-based website that is auxiliary for coordination of all the Wiki Foundation wikis.
This is an information page. It is not one of Wiki's policies or guidelines; rather, its purpose is to explain certain aspects of Wikipedia's norms, customs, technicalities, or practices. It may reflect differing levels of consensus and vetting. |
Created as Meta-Wikipedia in November 2001, it now serves several distinct roles:
Meta currently serves as one of the major avenues of discussion for Wikimedians including Wikins, the others being the mailing lists, the IRC channels, and the talk pages of individual articles and users. Meta is an independent and autonomous project from the English-language Wikipedia, and thus has its own policies and customs, which often differ from those here.
Originally focused on the English Wiki, Meta has, since its upgrade to Wikipedia's custom MediaWiki software, become a multilingual discussion forum used by all Wiki language communities.
Some types of discussion should be referred to appropriate places on Meta.
