Description

Hello, our community had agreed to change the site name from Wiktionary to Wikikamus. This will have several effects:

  • Sitename change
  • Project namespace change
  • Logo change

Hi @Bennylin I only see the discussion about the name change in your link! Could you please open a new thread? Thanks!

Change the site name from "Wiktionary bahasa Indonesia" to "Wikikamus bahasa Indonesia"

You may also want to edit https://id.wiktionary.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Sitetitle and https://id.wiktionary.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Tagline

The former "Sitetitle" contains "{{SITENAME}}".

I edited the latter "Tagline" but it does not seem to be used in any way.

I agree to change the logo as outlined above.

I however do not agree with change of the namespace from "Wiktionary" to "Wikikamus", because the ns 4 is already broken for all wikis, and the requested change will worsen the mess. A namespace should NOT be named "Wikipedia", "Wiktionary", "Wikikamus" or similar. Maybe I will make a proposal about this one day.

What do you mean by the "mess"? Can you give some example, please?

  • The fact that the namespace 4 has different names on different project types of same language makes sharing templates more difficult.
  • The fact that the namespace 4 has same name as the site causes confusion. People are trying to create articles in the ns 4 assuming that ns "Wikipedia" is the obvious choice for wikipedia articles. People don't understand it's purpose. This is happening on essentially all wikis, last but not least on Indonesian wikipedia. Are other namespaces such as "Template:" NOT part of Wikipedia too?
  • The namespace 4 has most aliases and causes most trouble and confusion. On many wikis we have page titles like Wiktionary/Wiktionary/Wiktionary/Project/Project.
  • On wikidata it is difficult to name an item linked to pages in ns 4 because it has many names even in one language. Using the generic "Project:" is possible but it will NOT show like that on any wiki.
