Well, yes. Was your clue the bit where it said English-language wikipedia?
Wikiproject-based things are incredibly difficult to generalize because they're so dependent on project-specific nuances and setups. Wikidata will change that, I hope, but it's not there yet.

Greetings everyone!
I am pleased to announce a new project, WikiProject X, funded by a Wikimedia Foundation Individual Engagement Grant. WikiProject X's goal
is
to improve the experience of WikiProjects, which are subject-area (or goal-oriented) collaborative spaces on the English Wikipedia. By making WikiProjects easier to use and maintain, it will be easier to build sub-communities of like-minded people, giving editors a sense of
community
on a huge and daunting website like Wikipedia. This includes mechanisms
for
recruiting new participants and encouraging the creation of safe spaces where editors, new and experienced alike, can feel like they can participate in discussions without fear of intimidation or jargon.
The project will begin with some research, both qualitative research in the form of interviews and case studies, and quantitative research
based on
Wikipedia’s database. Our focus will be on WikiProjects that have been successful in organizing editors, and learning more about what makes
them
work. Based on this research, we will develop new tools and interfaces
that
make WikiProjects easier to use and easier to maintain. Please note that this is an opt-in program for WikiProjects; no WikiProject will be
required
to make changes.
I would like to invite the community to check out our new page on Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_X (shortcut WP:WPX). There, you can share your experiences with
WikiProjects
and sign up to become a pilot tester. Community participation is crucial for the success of this project, and the more voices we hear, the
better.
If you want to sign up for more updates, sign up for our newsletter
here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_X/Newsletter.
Please let me know if you have any questions. I am very much looking forward to working with everyone on making this project succeed!
Cheers, James Hare Project Manager, WikiProject X https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_X _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/ wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, mailto:wikimedia-l-request@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe
Sounds like just another enwiki-specific thing.
