General requests
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 (new bug reports and feature requests related to the MediaWiki software which powers Wikimedia projects should be filed to Wikimedia's bugzilla instead), or hasn't been resolved for a while, or requires lots of moving parts to come together, please list it here.

[edit] Domain name
Few years ago wikipedia was owning domain name "Vikipedio" what was a redirection for eo.wikipedia.org. Wikipedia has lost it. A third party has used it during few years and now it is free again. Could Wikimedia Foundation buy this domain name again and make it redirection again ? Arno Lagrange ✉ 08:25, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
[edit] Modification to the editing interface
As we all know, many people who are not native english speakers contribute to english language wikimedia projects. Give this, would it not be a good idea to upgrade the editing interface with a spell-checker? --Please respond Here. 16:21, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
[edit] unification of certain pages and tools
Once I requested on the forum to access one's contribs & one's talk pages' changes, and use userboxes, across wikis. It would also be good to for search and preferences to optionally work across wikis. When wikis share things like categories and projects, it might be good to see if any unification, such as automatic linking, can be made... maybe even for some regular pages if not already done.--Dchmelik 13:16, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
