Talk:Community Wishlist/W25

Thank you

Thank you @Trigenibinion for this wish. To better clarify, is the problem that it is cumbersome to re-enter data from one wiki page, and into the same place on another, and that you seek a solution to enter information once, and then call that "source of truth" to populate the data elsewhere?

There are several problems:

- Some provider lists are very long, the information risks getting removed from the infoboxes and not be replicated elsewhere in the page.

- Maintaining this information as infobox parameters is very cumbersome, especially if sources are also requested.

- The information should be entered only once so that it can be moved to the body of the article when it becomes too much for the infobox, it provides a choice for other wikipedias to also provide this information as they see fit, and there are different articles that can use the same data (station articles and provider articles).

- It is very time consuming to enter this data manually, so automating its entry from the many PDFs available would be welcome.Trigenibinion (talk) 16:00, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! I've added some of this to the wish itself. JWheeler-WMF (talk) 16:34, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

Response to the wish

@Trigenibinion Thank you for submitting your wish! We are working with internal stakeholders to figure out next steps, such as feasibility and prioritization. We’ll keep you posted about it. Sannita (WMF) (talk) 14:17, 27 November 2025 (UTC)

We followed up with internal stakeholders, who suggested that this would be a good community opportunity that could reach consensus with Wikidata and Wikipedia users, so we'll mark this as a community opportunity for someone to pursue. MikeZ-WMF (talk) 13:02, 5 March 2026 (UTC)
