Hallo,
A big red notice at the top of strategy.wikimedia.org says: "This wiki has been closed per community discussion."
I understand what it means: that that wiki site finished serving its purpose and became read-only. That is fine. However, some pages on it are still useful for reference, for example the famous https://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/Editor_Trends_Study .
A lot of people who will see that big red message may misunderstand it. Even though it's not Wikipedia, some people may think that "wiki" refers to Wikipedia and think that the community decided to close Wikipedia. A surprising number of people that I met think that the word "wiki" doesn't mean "a site that anybody can edit", but "a Wikipedia *article*", so they may see the Editor Trends study and think that the community decided that it's not relevant any longer. There can be me many more misunderstandings of this kind.
Can anybody please change that notice? * It shouldn't be so big and red. In fact, it can be enough to say that the wiki is read-only when somebody will try to edit it. * It shouldn't say "wiki", but "site". Of course, all people in the world should learn what a "wiki" is, but they haven't yet. * It shouldn't say "closed", but "read-only" or "archived".
Thanks to whoever can perform it.
