The 2021 Community Wishlist Survey is now open! This survey is the process where communities decide what the Community Tech team should work on over the next year. We encourage everyone to submit proposals until the deadline on 30 November, or comment on other proposals to help make them better. The communities will vote on the proposals between 8 December and 21 December.
The Community Tech team is focused on tools for experienced Wikimedia editors. You can write proposals in any language, and we will translate them for you. Thank you, and we look forward to seeing your proposals!

We invite all registered users to vote on the 2021 Community Wishlist Survey. You can vote from now until 21 December for as many different wishes as you want.
In the Survey, wishes for new and improved tools for experienced editors are collected. After the voting, we will do our best to grant your wishes. We will start with the most popular ones.
We, the Community Tech, are one of the Wikimedia Foundation teams. We create and improve editing and wiki moderation tools. What we work on is decided based on results of the Community Wishlist Survey. Once a year, you can submit wishes. After two weeks, you can vote on the ones that you're most interested in. Next, we choose wishes from the survey to work on. Some of the wishes may be granted by volunteer developers or other teams.
We are waiting for your votes. Thank you!

Updates from Capacity Exchange (CapX)!
[edit]
Hello JopkeB,
My name is Joris Darlington Quarshie, and I am an Outreach Facilitator for the Capacity Exchange (CapX) — a platform for finding and connecting with peers to exchange knowledge and skills on a global level.
CapX is a community-built tool, designed by and for the Wikimedia Movement, to make it easier for Wikimedians across the world to find and connect, collaborate, and exchange skills and knowledge with peers.
If you don't know it yet, I invite you to access capx.toolforge.org and create your user profile with your Wikimedia account. But, if you already have a profile, I invite you to check out the new features and possibilities we just launched. I am sure you will be delighted.
CapX's new version incorporates valuable community feedback gathered over the past months, including the Organization Profile - a feature for Wikimedia affiliates, initiatives, or community groups to create their own CapX presence (see here how to create yours).

Bot for Categories requiring temporary diffusion
[edit]Hello JopkeB,
I have been reading your Community Wishlist proposal about a bot to work on categories in [|Categories requiring temporary diffusion ] and your discussion with User:Joshbaumgartner about this bot idea.I am currently working on implementing a bot for this task and would like to make sure it behaves exactly as you intended.
Could you please share more details on:
- The exact scope of categories the bot should process (including any categories to exclude).
- How you would like the bot to decide when to replace CatDiffuse and similar templates with Diffusion by condition, and what defaults or limits (such as the 200‑file threshold) it should use.
- Any edge cases or situations where the bot should skip or flag a category instead of changing it.
If you also have any prior notes, examples, or preferred workflows for how editors will interact with the bot’s changes, that would be very helpful.
Thank you for your time and for your work on improving category maintenance.

- Thanks for starting this wish! My answers and notes:
- It turns out c:Category:Categories requiring temporary diffusion has been merged into c:Category:Categories requiring temporary diffusion, about a year ago.
- The scope of categories the bot should process: The bot should be for all categories that have {{CatDiffuse}} or one of the templates that are mentioned in similar templates. I do not know any exceptions.
- All those templates should just be replaced by {{Diffusion by condition}}. As far as I can see, there are no possibilities for parameters to fill in in the templates that are being replaced, so they should/can not be included in the replacement either. The template "Diffusion by condition" can be placed in the categories with the standard parameter 200.
- I cannot think of any edge cases or situations where the bot should skip or flag a category instead of changing it.
- I do not have any other prior notes, examples, or preferred workflows for how editors will interact with the bot’s changes.
