#[[:Category:Wiki Multilingual|Interlingual]] (cross-wiki) and international coordination concerning the WMF projects and the Wikimedia movement in general; including discussion in [[:Category:Wiki language|languages]] other than [[:Category:Wiki English|English]].  This includes requests (for pan-Wikimedia or other wikis), {{tag|translation}}s and news, and the description, {{tag|documentation}}, and discussion of real-life activities and facts related to the Wikimedia Foundation and affiliates.  This includes reports, {{tag|events}}, outreach, and {{tag|Financial|grants}}.

#{{tag|Writing}} and dissemination of personal {{tag|essay}}s about WMF projects.  Because these are usually not delivered from a [[neutral point of view]] (NPOV), they are often summarized on neutral issues pages from multiple {{tag|Point of view|points of view}}.  There is a degree of freedom in determining what is related to Wikimedia projects, which makes Meta-Wiki also a 'meatball wiki' of sorts; discussing such matters as [[wiki culture]] and patterns.  This role includes more formal {{tag|research}} and related discussion.

A lot of high-level [[:Category:Wikimedia Foundation people|Wikimedia Foundation staff members, stewards, global sysops]], etc., frequent Meta-Wiki.  Many of them use it as their 'home base' wiki, and often ask that any [[user]]s on other WMF projects contact them on Meta-Wiki.  As a result of these users being so readily accessible on-wiki, and rubbing shoulders now and then with other Meta-Wiki users in the course of carrying out their duties, participating in the global wiki-governance aspects of Meta-Wiki, and responding to communications; other Meta-Wiki users tend to become at least superficially acquainted with them within the [[wikisphere]].  Accordingly, disputes that occur on Meta-Wiki often quickly get escalated to the highest levels of WMF, with complaints being posted on those [[WikiIndex:Talk Pages for Wiki People|users' talk pages]], which would not be the case on other wikis.  Thus, it is fairly common to see, for example, attempts to drag high ranking Wikimedia [[:Category:Law|legal]] counsel into conflicts that would, on another wiki, be settled at a much lower level.
