প্রায়শই জিজ্ঞাসিত প্রশ্ন
What is the deadline for submitting wishes?
The Community Wishlist will remain open. There is no deadline for wish submission.
How do I submit a wish?
You can submit wishes at Special:WishlistIntake.
What is a wish status?
Below are descriptions of our current wish statuses. We will continue to review wish statuses on an as-needed basis, based on community input.
| অবস্থা | বিবরণ |
|---|---|
| Under review | Community Wishlist managers will review the wish, may set it up for translation, and change the wish to the appropriate status. |
| Accepted | The wish has been approved for inclusion in the Wishlist, but has not yet been triaged. |
| Unsupported | The Unsupported Tools Working Group will review the wish. |
| Declined | The wish is misaligned with strategic priorities, is a matter involving local wiki policy, does not require engineering resources, or otherwise cannot be actioned by a product team. |
| Community opportunity | The wish cannot be fulfilled by WMF (such as a bot that writes content), but can feasibly be worked on by the community. |
| Long-term opportunity | The wish is a potential strategic opportunity for two or more quarters out. WMF will revisit the wish on a quarterly basis in hopes of including it in a focus area. |
| Near-term opportunity | The wish is likely to be adopted within two quarters, and be integrated into a focus area or strategic hypothesis. |
| Prioritized | The wish will likely be moved into "in progress" within a quarter. |
| In progress | Work is in progress on the wish, or current work is inspired by needs articulated in wish. |
| Done | Wish is fulfilled explicitly, or aspects of it are sufficiently addressed by alternative solutions. |
How then do we influence prioritization?
Participants are encouraged to discuss and support wishes and focus areas to highlight their importance.
What are "focus areas"?
The Foundation will identify patterns with wishes that share a collective problem and group them into areas known as "focus areas."
How are wishes evaluated to determine if they are "good" enough to move into the focus area phase?
Community Tech and other Wishlist consultants evaluate and categorize new wishes every week. In this process, we try to identify the user's pain points and potential effort and impact of solving the problem. While some wishes may include a proposed solution, we try not to evaluate or judge the solution in this process. At times, Wishlist stakeholders will ask clarifying questions to better understand the problem.
Different communities may have varying perspectives on what makes a wish "good," but we aim to prioritize wishes that address core challenges. We recommend a clear articulation of the problem and user goal, and supporting evidence through data, screenshots, etc are always helpful.
How will this new system move wishes forward for addressing?
The Wikimedia Foundation, affiliates, and volunteer developers can adopt focus areas or individual wishes. The Foundation is committed to continually creating new focus areas that will help drive Annual Planning.
Focus areas align to hypotheses (specific projects, typically taking up to one quarter) and key results (broader projects taking up to one year).
How are focus areas created and populated?
Community Tech partners with stakeholders at the Foundation to analyze patterns from submitted wishes. We group similar challenges or issues together to identify broad focus areas that represent significant pain points across communities, rather than focusing on individual, isolated wishes.
Will community opinions and wish votes be taken into account when determining focus areas?
Yes, we listen closely to community feedback, and will regularly visit the highest-voted wishes when formulating new focus areas. Focus areas are shaped by the input and concerns of users. However, opinions on what makes a wish "good" or "bad" can vary. Our goal is to balance these perspectives while addressing overarching problems that can have the greatest impact.
How do we determine when to close a focus area?
A focus area is usually closed when it has been adopted, meaning the problem has been addressed and a solution is either in progress or already implemented. Additionally, if ongoing feedback shows limited interest or there are more pressing issues, the focus area may be closed to prioritize more impactful work.
Supporting focus areas
What does it mean to support for a focus area?
Supporting a focus area means that you are prioritising a broader problem or issue that you believe should be addressed. You are not supporting for or against specific wishes, but rather supporting the idea that the underlying issue should be resolved.
Does my support apply to all individual wishes in a focus area?
No. The wishes serve as examples, but the ultimate solution may differ from the individual suggestions. As you support focus areas, we encourage your comments about your interest or disinterest in a specific wish.
