Hi,

To help with this issue, I'm picking up a shovel. Please let me know if I'm about to hit a pipe!

I'm about to do a major clean up and update on the Wikivoyage page at Meta[1]. I will move the outdated stuff that discusses the proposal to move to Mediawiki Foundation (now completed) to a subpage and do a navigation box listing the primary Meta Wikivoyage/Subpages.

I'm thinking this Meta Wikivoyage page will serve as the Wikivoyage community "home" at Meta where we can coordinate our various language versions of Wikivoyage.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions, and particularly if I'm not heading in the right direction, before I hit a utility pipe, etc.

Come pick up a shovel, too. I'd love company.

Thanks! :-)

I know, there is the meta wiki. But I am not sure. Maybe its too meta. And the discoussion page or a Wikivoyager's Lounge may be too small.

Too small?

...

Ok... the set of meta articles can be placed in anywhere the Incubator.

Meta articles? If it's what I think you mean, incubator is absolutely not the place.

...

But the remaining stuff? Maybe a separate Namespace for the WMF projects at Meta, maybe a wiki like our general:

Any ideas?

I am going to ask the communities on their traveller's pub site as well.

As I already wrote to Wikivoyage-l, I've already imported all the relevant pages from general to meta-wiki: general was an extremely small wiki, so it fits perfectly well in our usual standard of a few subpages with their talk pages, a namespace doesn't seem needed.

I've moved [[Travel Guide]] to https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikivoyage per talk request. Now https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikivoyage should be the main discussion venue for meta-(cross-language-)issues in Wikivoyage. As Meta-Wiki replaces Wikivoyage general in this role, I've also imported a few dozens pages which seemed still relevant to the new context or still active, see https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:PrefixIndex/Wikivoyage/ and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikivoyage The most important pages in this moment would seem to be https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikivoyage/New_language_versions and all https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikivoyage/Migration/New_policies subpages. I hope this will help speed up the process. Please help cleaning up and updating the imported pages and let me know if you need more of them; I didn't find anything of persistent interest on wikivoyage tech, except the documentation for extensions which seems already superseded by new pages on mediawiki.org.
