Talk:Wikipedian

Redirect this redirect to Wikipedia:Wikipedians

I feel it's more fitting to redirect it to that than to the Wikipedia article, since the redirected to-page doesn't have much on Wikipedians.--GCFreak2 04:06, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Agree completely

A Wikipedian is a very different entity from Wikipedia, and the Wikipedia page doesn't even have a heading or sub-heading on Wikipedians. I wonder how many people each day are frustrated by the existing unhelpful redirect.Robert Pollard (talk) 16:52, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation

On further reflection, this should probably be a disambiguation page, between:

• Wikipedian, noun: Someone who is a participant in/contributor to Wikipedia. Wikipedians
• Wikipedian, adjective: Of or about Wikipedia

How to give credit for photos, etc.

Should we make a list of Wikipedians who contribute media content (e.g. photos) if they are williing to share their real names? -- Fplay 20:37, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

How to track

Some people like being able to user "what links here" to track their content. How to handle this? The article should not piont back to their home (or a subpage) in User: -- Fplay 20:40, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Merge

Wikipedian was recently changed from a redirect to Wikipedia:Wikipedian into an article. It should not have been a redirect across namespaces, but it also doesn't really merit an article unto itself--it serves no function except to explain Wikipedia policies and processes. I suggest that it would best be merged and redirected to Wikipedia. Chick Bowen 06:09, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

We need both pages. "Wikipedia:Wikipedian" is about "let us have a fun Wikipedia community where both experts and amateurs feel welcome and are motivated to contribute". "Wikipedian" is about "let us make sure that the Wikipedia encyclopdia has good quality". -- Fplay 17:56, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

In discussions about this, please take into account that there appear to be highly used templates that link here in reference to "Wikipedia editor". Take a look at "what links here." Whatever we do should make sense with that link (or we need to change the template(s)). (John User:Jwy talk) 00:35, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

I disagree with this merge. Wikipedian is very different of "Wikipedia". FML ^{hi me at pt} 13:58, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

• Wikipedia:Wikipedian describes a Wikipedian much more appropriately than the Wikipedia article. Please explain. --Peregrine_^AY 11:28, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

wiki speak

I think a page is needed to list wikisims

This entry should redirect to Wikipedia community

Change made as new target actually discusses the term. -- JLaTondre 22:13, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

"Wikipedia community" is now a redirect to Wikipedia, so this entry should also be a redirect to "Wikipedia". 16@r 13:42, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Done. --- RockMFR 17:03, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Double redirect

It's a double redirect now. Jeffrey.Kleykamp 18:50, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Wikipedians

This should redirect to Wikipedia:Wikipedians. Kingturtle (talk) 17:07, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Cross-namespace redirects aren't popular here, though that page is certainly more relevant if we ignore the Wikipedia: prefix. I really think there should be an article about the Wikipedia community that it could redirect to, and it's probably just a matter of people finding the sources and doing the work to get such an article back up and running, and safe from deletion.
