Wikiversity talk:Motto
Page move? edit
I refer people to the page discussed here: Based on that, would anyone object moving this page to Wikiversity:Wikiversity, declaring its purpose to be not only "motto" but also "slogan" and the very name of the project (i.e. the name "Wikiversity" in many languages)? Dovi 15:11, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
- Perhaps. But at the moment I would prefer something more descriptive and specific than wikiversity:wikiversity. There is also the page wikiversity:about (which is not much). Too many pages with vague and general names may lead to confusion. Hillgentleman|書 00:24, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
- Actually, I meant simply Wikiversity. I think Wikiversity:Motto is too limiting, when it really makes sense to have a number of these elements on the page together (Name, language, motto, slogan). Dovi 03:23, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
- Perhaps wikiversity in many languages, wikiversity projects in many languages, wikiversity language projects information... Hillgentleman|書 05:35, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
- But isn't the idea to make such a chart as close to language-neutral as possible? For the similar Wikisource chart some of us even want to change words like "language" or "The Free Library" on top to language-neutral icons, but haven't found satisfactory ones yet... Dovi 05:23, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
- I see. Let's see how it works out. Hillgentleman|書 15:53, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Wikisource page updated with icons edit
If people here are still interested in this, you might want to see the parallel Wikisource page again. Besides being an incredible collection of "Wikisource - The Free Library" in many dozens of languages, I've made an initial attempt to replace English within the chart with language-neutral icons.
If people here want to, you can build something similar. It helps both to create a sense of community and cohesion amongst the many language communities of the project, as well as to help make "beta" a language-neutral center for the project in all languages. Dovi 10:38, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
motto update edit
What do you think about adding the motto/slogans from www.wikiversity.org? Though no link to consensus as such would be there. ----Erkan Yilmaz 16:40, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
