Acknowledgment of Wish: Date/Time Picker and OSM Integration Improvements in Wikidata

Thank you for submitting this wish and for sharing your experience, we’ve received it.

We’ll take some time to identify which team would be responsible for evaluating this request and review it in light of the current plans. We’ll follow up with you once we have more clarity. ARamadan-WMF (talk) 11:24, 28 July 2025 (UTC)

Hello again!

Improving the editing experience on Wikidata is a long-term focus for the team. We're currently working on reworking the user interface, starting with making it easier to edit statements on mobile. As part of this, we also plan to improve how geocoordinates are entered, and these changes will eventually be extended to the desktop version.

While we can’t promise that every specific point you mentioned will be addressed, your feedback is helpful and aligns with our broader goals to make Wikidata more user-friendly, especially for new contributors.

Hi and thanks, well it's ongoing development so I could not test it yet, but let's see how it is when it's live/testable. rugk (talk) 08:57, 14 January 2026 (UTC)
