Hoi,
Thank you for your definition. The only problem with it is, it that it
is wrong. Meta is about WikiMedia and its projects. It is about
Wikimedians and the communities they belong to. If you care for what we
are, in Meta you find that it is about all knowledge in all languages
and providing it Freely to all people of this world and how we want to
do this.
There are wikis other than Wikipedia? :)
Yes, meta is Wikimedia central (while not being
Wikimedia.org). The
co-ordination point for Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikiquote, Commons etc.
When people create Wikipedia content in Meta, it is
easy to indentify
that it is in the wrong place. It is ever so nice that using a VfD
system, proper notice is given that it should not be there. This gives
the proper notice that something should be done about it. One of these
things is: discuss it. :)
Ok, maybe it does need VfD - but surely the test wikis shouldn't just be
deleted because they have encylopedic content?
