Thread:Talk:Technical communications/Dev wiki consolidation/Why reuse wikitech.wikimedia.org/reply (4)

And I would still stick to the solution proposed below the line you quoted: That won't happen if the whole community of contributors (WMF or not) agrees to make Wikitech their new home. As said most of the current members have already a *.wikimedia.org account and I'm pretty sure things will be fine when the dust settles and we have a better plans thanks to all the feedback, and when we start moving pieces, nothing falls and we start experiencing the benefits of the new situation.

The problem with "appearances" is stronger with current community members with opinions about labels like "MediaWiki" or "Wikitech" than for the people out there. Most of the newcomers only know about "Wikipedia" anyway. For those willing to make a technical contribution, a label like "Wikitech" will sound just fine.
