Hoi,
For wikipedia they changed
www.wikipedia.org to become a portal to
show that wikipedia is a project in many languages. This is to show
that wikipedia is not only English as many people think. The same is
true for the wiktionary; there are many wiktionaries and, in the same
manner as we have with wikipedia I propose to have
wiktionary.org
point to the page that can be found on META
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Www.wiktionary.org_portal
It took the wikipedia crowd two years to get to the point and change
things. I expect that people will have the same arguments why they
think wiktionary means en:wiktionary. However, wiktionary is much less
known than wikipedia and, the other wiktionaries like pl: with over
28.000+ and gl: with 11.000+ prove that en: with 52.000+ is not the
only kid on the block.There are also 9 others in between 1.000+ and
10.000- who emphasize the point.
So I hope that we can agree to have a similar portal for wiktionary as
we have for wikipedia.
I don't see any problems with this, but I would wait at least two weeks
so that the Wikipedia portal has time to stabilize. Once they have beat
back all the arguments, implementing the Wiktionary portal should go
smoothly.
