Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Miscellaneous/Allow users to specify their location in their profile/Proposal
Appearance
- Problem: It is extremely difficult to find other Wikimedians who are in my area. I want to be able to easily contact Wikimedians in my area, organize meetups, and collaborate on geographically-relevant topics.
- Proposed solution: Add a "Location" field that you can optionally fill out as part of your user profile. The value of the field could be a particular coordinate or OpenStreetMap feature. Users could configure it to be viewable to anyone or only other users in their area to maintain privacy.Users could then view a map of all users who have shared their location around the world.
- Who would benefit: Editors
