General requests
From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
This page is meant to be something like w:en:Wikipedia:Coordination, a coordination space for major requests across projects and themes. If there's an issue you care deeply about that isn't being handled elsewhere, or hasn't been resolved for a while, or requires lots of moving parts to come together, please list it here.
