Meta-Wiki currently serves several distinct roles:
- Discussion and formulation of the Wikimedia projects, and in particular policy discussion relevant to all projects, such as open content licensing
- A forum for personal essays about the Wikimedia projects (as these are usually not delivered from a neutral point of view, they should be summarized on neutral issues pages from multiple point of view using formats like TIPAESA or its subset IPA)
- A place to discuss interlanguage co-ordination issues concerning the Wikimedia projects, including discussion in languages other than English
Meta-Wiki currently serves as one of the major avenues of discussion for Wikimedians, the others being the Mailing lists and the talk pages of individual articles.
Originally focused on the English-language version of Wikipedia, the then-named Meta-Wikipedia has, since its upgrade to Wikipedia's custom MediaWiki software, become a multilingual discussion forum used by all Wikimedia language communities. Currently, Meta comprises 18,485 articles.
