"profile on meta-wiki" is jargon
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

Individual staff pages on WMF.org include a link to "profile on meta-wiki". 'meta-wiki' is insider jargon: if the intended audience of the site is primarily people outside of the Wikimedia Movement, we should avoid using insider jargon like this. I don't expect that the majority of visitors will know what 'meta-wiki' is, or why that's where profiles are located. Suggest keeping it simple: "Profile"

Event Timeline

Hello - thank you for the feedback. :) We spent some time discussing multiple options for this one, and ultimately based on end-user expectations and a desire to welcome people into the Wikimedia world decided to intentionally label that the profiles are on Meta-Wiki.
