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.
Thanks, GerardM
