"Dit is een kort handmatig samenvattend overzicht van de bronpagina's op Meta. Het werd samengesteld door het combineren van de twee handmatige samenvattingen op de bronpagina's (I, II) die zo opgezet werden dat mensen er een breed idee van hebben waar andere gemeenschappen het over hebben. Zoals bij de vorige samenvattingen in dit formaat geeft de tekst aan hoeveel bron-stellingen beschikbaar waren toen het ontwerp werd geschreven en waarmee rekening kon worden gehouden. (3s) betekent bijvoorbeeld dat 3 stellingen beschikbaar waren op de gerelateerde bronpagina op het tijdstip dat de samenvatting werd ontworpen."

  • De discussie op de Kroeg van de Arabische Wikipedia (26s) bracht het standpunt naar voren dat het Wikipedia Education Program een hoge prioriteit moet krijgen. Daarvoor moeten er permanente Wikimedia-kantoren in educatieve instellingen worden geopend (§Ar1). Vandalisme en competitie door Wikipedia-taalversies in Arabische dialecten wordt door sommige bewerkers als een probleem gezien (§Ar4) (§Ar10). Gebruikers ondersteunden het creëren van meertalige projecten zoals Wikipedia (§Ar5) en Wiktionary (§Ar6), het inhuren van betaalde medewerkers om inhoud te controleren (§Ar7) en het inrichten van een redactie (§Ar13). We moeten ons concentreren op neutraliteit (§Ar14), de integratie van social media (§Ar17), het gebrek van inhoud (§Ar18) en audio content (§Ar19). We moeten ons ook concentreren op nieuwelingen (§Ar21), het verbeteren van MediaWiki (§Ar22), het starten van GLAM-projecten (§Ar23), het gebruik van social media (§Ar24), een geünificeerde login vanuit alle apparaten (§Ar25) en het verbeteren van de gebruikersomgeving van Wiktionary.

Je moet je focussen op partnerschappen met gerelateerde organisaties (§Bn1.7), Je moet je focussen op partnerschappen met gerelateerde organisaties (§Bn1.5) en het creëren van audiobooks op Wikisource (§Bn1.8). Het schrijven van artikelen moet makkelijker worden en zowel een nadruk op de kwaliteit en de kwantiteit van de inhoud leggen. Frequente wereldwijde wedstrijden zouden nuttig zijn, ook met prijzen voor het bijdragen (bijvoorbeeld van mobile data), het erbij betrekken van studenten en het begeleiden van nieuwelingen (§Bn1.20, §Bn1.33). De zusterprojecten moeten worden gepromoot (§Bn1.26) en alle projecten zouden Wikidata moeten integreren voor alle automatische updates (§Bn1.25). De community-leden op de community-ontmoetingen in het Bengaals (12s) maakten de suggestie dat je Wikimedia-projecten kunt promoten door Wikipedia Library bussen (§Bn2.1) en kalenders (§Bn2.2). Het gebrek aan vrouwen en bepaalde inhoud (§Bn2.5, §Bn2.4) moet worden besproken.
