[edit] Discussion of the text used on MediaWiki:Wikipediapage and MediaWiki:Articlepage
The link back from this (Wikipedia talk:Copyrights) talk page is called "view Meta page" which I do not think is simple English :o)--(talk to)--BozMo 13:09, 17 May 2004 (UTC)
- The English Wikipedia are using "project page" instead of "meta page". Would that be better or is there something else we could use? Angela 18:10, 17 May 2004 (UTC)

- How does it work at the moment? Articles in the wikipedia namespace are called "meta page" and everything else is "article"? I think calling everything article would be simpler. -- Tango 10:59, 20 May 2004 (UTC)

- I don't think "article" is used at present. Articles in the main WP are backlinked from talk with "project page" whereas in Meta and simple they backlink with "meta page". I guess it was a thoughtless copy over from meta and Simple at present only has people moonlighting from en so no one spots oddities. Question is should we back link with project page as per en or find something better. --(talk to)BozMo 09:10, 22 May 2004 (UTC)

- This page is back linked using "article", and so are normal article take pages. I haven't checked the User namespace. So MediaWiki and normal namespaces use article, Wikipedia namespace uses meta page. I think consistancy is best. -- Tango 11:34, 23 May 2004 (UTC)

- The default is for pages in the Wikipedia namespace to be called "meta" and pages in the main namespace to be called "article". It's not a "thoughtless copy over from meta" or anywhere else; it's just the default, which en recently decided to change from "meta" to "project". User talk pages link back with "View user page". It's important to keep the namespaces clearly separated, which is why it is an advantage to use different words for the links to different namespaces. "Meta page" might not be the best name for that, but "article" could be confusing if it makes people think they are in the article namespace. Angela 15:00, 24 May 2004 (UTC)
