Wikiscope/Name
Appearance
I originally thought of Wikiscope, as it sounds nice and gives the idea of both Wikimedia and that it is a view of all the projects (like telescope). But this is, of course, debatable. Here are the suggestions. Feel free to add your own.
Wikiscope
[edit]- Idea
- Wiki like Wikimedia, scope like telescope.
- Pros
- Sounds nice IMHO, easy to remember.
- Cons
- Ambiguous.
- Comments
-
- Maybe good. But I want to Support this name. --린눈라단 (talk) 15:54, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
Wikiwatch
[edit]- Idea
- Wiki like Wikimedia, watch because it watches all the other projects.
- Pros
- Alliterative, easy to remember.
- Cons
- Very ambiguous.
- Comments
- It also sounds like a watchdog organization. --Cromwellt|talk|contribs 06:21, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
Wikindex
[edit]- Idea
- Wiki like Wikimedia, index because it indexes all the other projects by topic.
- Pros
- easy to remember.
- Cons
- the word "kind" jumps out; may not be translatable into non-roman alphaets
- Comments
- Bit too much like WIKINDX, http://wikindx.sourceforge.net
Wikiview
[edit]- Idea
- A wiki that gives an overview over all Wikimedia projects.
- Pros
- "View" is a simple word and is very widely known, its meaning is obvious.
- Cons
- May be difficult to pronounce for the non-english-speaking people.
- Comments
- As a native Korean speaker, I pronounce the word '위키뷰' (Wikibyu). --린눈라단 (talk) 15:51, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
- If it had non-English versions, it might have to make the project's non-English names. --린눈라단 (talk) 15:53, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
- I think the name Wikiview is good. --린눈라단 (talk) 05:52, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
- If it had a Korean version, this project's one's name might be '위키뷰'. The project's Japanese name might be "ウィキビュー"? --린눈라단 (talk) 05:58, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
- Also we may have to decide its Chinese name. Maybe '维基视野'? --린눈라단 (talk) 05:58, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
- If it had a Korean version, this project's one's name might be '위키뷰'. The project's Japanese name might be "ウィキビュー"? --린눈라단 (talk) 05:58, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
