	I think that the present guidelines present a problem with naming articles for Wikimedia wikis and any similar wikis. http://wikipedia.org, for example, is just a gateway to wikipedias in over 120 languages. The [[Wikipedia]] article should be a general overview of those Wikipedias. I think there should also be WikiIndex articles on at least the Top 10 or Top 20 Wikipedias. For this to happen, the article names should probably be the Wiki's URL (minus http://), so the article for the English-language Wikipedia would be at [[en.wikipedia.org]], the Japanese-languages WIkipedia would be at [[ja.wikipedia.org]], etc. [[User:BlankVerse\|BlankVerse]] 05:23, 16 Mar 2006 (EST)		I think that the present guidelines present a problem with naming articles for Wikimedia wikis and any similar wikis. http://wikipedia.org, for example, is just a gateway to wikipedias in over 120 languages.

			: I agree with you that the [[Wikipedia]] page needs to be an overview, or a [[disambiguation]] page of some sort. No one's gotten to doing that yet. Want to get it started? Another alternative to naming the languages would be [[Wikipedia (English)]], [[Wikipedia (Japanese)]], etc. [[TedErnst]] \| <small>[[User talk:TedErnst\|talk]]</small> 12:19, 16 Mar 2006 (EST)
