Add topicThank you for submitting a wish!
[edit]Hello @Hakimi97, thank you for your submission. We will get back to you with follow up questions if need be. –– STei (WMF) (talk) 14:12, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Hakimi97 - thanks for this submission. I've just added it to a focus area for "task prioritization." JWheeler-WMF (talk) 20:02, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @JWheeler-WMF and @STei (WMF), you are welcome. I'm glad if the wish helps. Hakimi97 (talk) 01:10, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
- I think this can already be done using personal notes, browser bookmarks, and tab organization. Prototyperspective (talk) 16:47, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
- I don't know. If using personal notes or even browser bookmarks for wiki-specific stuff, I feel like the wiki works (which should be highly personal works) would be easily mixed up with other real-life commitments. For some people (like me for example), mixing real-life commitments with wiki-specific works might not be a preferable way to sort things out. Hakimi97 (talk) 12:34, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
- Keep two (or more) separate notes (or bookmarks folders or browser windows etc). Prototyperspective (talk) 14:05, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
- And then the two separate notes (or bookmark folders, browser windows, etc.) that have been created would be buried under other newly created personal notes which are related to other real-life commitments? This is not a very effective way to sort wiki-related tasks. Hakimi97 (talk) 03:45, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
- Your todo organization is kind of offtopic to Wikimedia Wishlists I think. To answer your question, have separate notes for your real-life commitments and Wikimedia-related things. You can have both open at the same time or browse them separately. It is very effective. Maybe not if you use a gazillion different devices and don't copy these files in between but then you can use any file synchronization service or online todo service etc such as putting them into a CryptPad or using Firefox sync and so on.

- It is just a suggestion; therefore, this wish is still a valid entry under the "community wishlist." Not every wish needs to be fulfilled, so why not be bold and make a wish, regardless of whether it might be feasible or necessary for the current community? That said, your points are valid in terms of many other alternatives for organizing tasks on Wikimedia-related projects. However, I still believe it would be great if my wish could be useful in any way to the Wikimedia community. Hakimi97 (talk) 11:21, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

Intriguing as a general idea
[edit]I would like to see something like a en:Kanban board I can use in my user pages or can be used in group efforts like WikiProjects but I'm unsure of all the features that would be needed to go along with that, and how best it would slide into Wikipedia.

Watchlist Labels
[edit]Please check out this feature https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Watchlist_labels and let us know if this resolves some of your concern and helps you plan your work. KSiebert (WMF) (talk) 12:14, 6 February 2026 (UTC)
- @Hakimi97 would you be able to share any feedback after looking at this new feature? MikeZ-WMF (talk) 11:09, 20 February 2026 (UTC)
- Hi @KSiebert (WMF) and @MikeZ-WMF, I think the watchlist labels is a good new feature to create new user labels and monitor the pages that have been specially tagged. Just that if there is any way to let say I go a page on English Wikipedia, and then I want to click the "star" (watchlist) button, and then there is some small message widget appeared:
"Page name" and its talk page have been added to your watchlist permanently/for 1 week/for 1 month/for 6 months/for 1 year.
Watchlist time period: Permanent/1 week/1 month/6 months/1 year
- So, it would be great if there would be a label dropdown, something like the following right after the "watchlist time period":
Labels: Label 1/2/3/4 etc.
- If the labels are yet to be created, then it would be nice to guide the user to the Special:WatchlistLabels so that the user can add label:
