רשימת משאלות קהילתית
רשימת המשאלות של הקהילה היא פורום עבור תורמים למיזמים של ויקימדיה לשיתוף רעיונות או "משאלות" לשיפור המוצר והטכנולוגיה שלנו, ולאחר מכן שיתוף פעולה הדדי ועם קרן ויקימדיה כדי לתעדף ולפתור הזדמנויות אלו יחד.
על מנת לבנות תוכנה בת קיימא ורב-דורית, קרן ויקימדיה צריכה לשמוע ולשתף פעולה עם מתנדבים בנוגע לאתגרים והזדמנויות לשיפור המוצר והטכנולוגיה שלנו.
כיצד זה עובד:
- מתנדבים יכולים להגיש משאלה (בקשה לתכונה, תיקון באג, שינוי מערכת) בכל עת. אנו מעודדים משתמשים להגיש משאלה בשפת האם שלהם.
- ניתן לעיין, להגיב ולערוך משאלות שהוגשו על ידי מתנדבים אחרים, והקרן תאושר.
- לאחר מכן, הקרן בוחנת את כל המשאלות החדשות, מזהה נושאים משותפים, והופכת נושאים אלה לתחומי מיקוד. תחומי המיקוד עוזרים לנו להתקדם מעבר לפתרונות בודדים, שעשויים לעבוד רק עבור מקרי שימוש מסוימים, ובמקום זאת לזהות ולפתור כמה שיותר מהבעיות הגדולות והמשפיעות ביותר.
- תורמים יכולים לתמוך ולהגיב על תחומי מיקוד, אשר לאחר מכן יאומצו על ידי צוותי קרן ויקימדיה, טכנולוגיות קהילתיות, שותפים או מפתחים מתנדבים.

April 7, 2026: What we have done so far and what the team will be working on in the next months
Hello everyone! This time, we have a lot of news to share regarding the work done so far, and what’s coming next. This will also be the format going forward to provide more visibility into work.
The work we did in the last month
First of all, we are wrapping up work on Watchlist labels on all projects. This new feature allows users to add labels to items in their watchlist to help with managing and filtering watchlists, especially large ones. So far, 1,595 users across projects have created at least one label, and 3,554 labels have been created, for a total of 250,279 watchlist pages that have been assigned a label. We are happy about these initial results, and we expect these statistics to grow with time.
Other smaller wishes that we implemented in the last month are:
- "Preview page with this template" should not work with pages that do not transclude the template, a bug with the preview page feature;
- Google & DuckDuckGo search not indexing media files and categories on Commons, a wish related to the indexing of Commons on two main search engines that had quite some support;
- Allow editors to subscribe to community wishes, to allow editors to receive a cross-wiki notification if there is an update or reply;
- Editing mathematics is too difficult, a wish that requires simplifying the insertion of maths formulas in articles.
What we currently have in progress
We are also wrapping up work to be completed in the next few months, in collaboration with other Wikimedia Foundation teams, on wishes such as:
- Prevent VisualEditor from fabricating sources, that would fix a bug when generating automatically a reference through VisualEditor;
- Enable mul tags from Wikidata in the global watchlist, to let watchlists show the multilingual label from Wikidata when a local label isn’t entered;
- Three wishes related to Video2Commons (subtitle import, max resolution import, and enabling importing playlists);
- Allow abuse filters to be hidden to only oversighters, a request to mask private information needed for AbuseFilter needs;
- When searching Commons, under "Categories and Pages" show the category for the search term, a wish that was already presented in 2021.
What we are scoping next
Looking ahead, we already identified our priorities for the months to come, and it is a lot of work! Here’s a sneak peak at some of the work we defined as our next priorities:
- Add the "hide templates" option to What links here page, a wish that already made top 6 in the 2022 Community Wishlist survey and that has quite some support in its resolution by users now, that focuses on removing articles from “What links here” page if included in a template, rather than included directly in the text;
- Edit introduction instead of the entire article, a wish that asks for the possibility of editing only the incipit of an article, instead of opening the whole article in order to do it;
- we’re also about to conclude work on Make "Who Wrote That" tool and P&E Dashboard's Authorship Highlighting feature work in all languages, a wish about improving two well-used tools in the community.
We will also keep on our table the Support full colour 3D models on Wikimedia projects, a very popular wish among those submitted with 37 supporters. The team has already started working on it and is resolving new productionalization dependencies now. We also are continuing to evaluate and plan on how to scope and decompose Make the Chart extension beginner-friendly, since this is another well-supported wish (see discussion page to add feedback).
Meanwhile, we are working closely with other teams to solve other wishes, such as:
- Warn when large amount of content has been copy-pasted, that asks to warn users when they insert a large amount of content, and that will add a tag to the edit, so that patrollers are aware of a possible problem (we are working on this with the Editing team);
- Add Wikipedia Mobile App’s Reading Lists to the Website, to port the reading list functionality to the website, currently done with a browser extension (we are working on this with the Readers team);
- Make subreferencing work with inline refs and reflist, to expand the usability of the new subreferencing feature (see also the project page).
Some statistics
We also wanted to share some statistics with you regarding the current situation of wishes:
- so far, we closed 44 wishes as fulfilled (8% of the total of wishes);
- we have 17 wishes in progress and we have prioritized another 15 (meaning we will start working on them soon), totaling 7% of wishes;
- 204 wishes are categorized as long-term opportunities, but we commit to continually revisit these to determine whether some could become actionable in the near future;
- 78 wishes are considered community responses and we invite community to look at this to solve them;
- 79 wishes were closed due to duplication, alignment with community guidelines rather than technical issues, or lack of feasibility;
- lastly, another 87 are still under review by our various Foundation teams.
These numbers are regularly shifting due to new incoming wishes. For the past two months, we have also been responding to wishes consistently within a week of submission.
We need your feedback
To provide more transparency about how we triage and prioritize wishes, we want to also update our guidelines with tips on how to write a good wish. Please, join the discussion and have your say.
As always, if you have questions or feedback about it, please let us know in the Community Wishlist’s talk page. We are eager to hear from you!
