Denny, thanks for organizing and publishing!
You mentioned that the comm-tech team is the one "responsible for
investigating and addressing the top 10 wishes". I think the community
views WMF as more of a monolith, and I hope these votes have wider impact
on foundation priorities. After all, comm
Yes, for sure. We don't want to impose anything on wikis that don't want or

Just a general observation: Making things "global" can be good or bad for
non-wikipedia projects depending on how it's done; spreading uniformity
across projects could also damage non-wikipedia projects by imposing
inappropriate infrastructure. I'm not totally cynical about the idea, just
noting
Thanks Danny
Some excellent projects. Great to see so many that will benefit more than
just the EN WP community such as global gadgets, non-Latin language
improvements and global settings.

Henning, I think you have missed an important detail (and if I'm mistaken,
I'd like to know about it).
This is not an "either/or" situation. At least in the past, when I have
manually added Wayback Machine links (or seen them added by bots), they do

Henning,
If we're going to solve the problem of dead links, it needs to involve
automation, at least for the heavy lifting. Obviously, if a human
contributor can add a better source, that's great. But there are more dead
links than people willing to replace them.
On English Wikipedia, there's Cat

I really hope, you don't follow that wish, as it is detrimental to the
quality of Wikipedia.
Switching dead links to the archive is a move to a dead end, instead of

That's not only mentor-friendly, it's hounder-friendly and harrasser-friendly.

Yes, if there are wishes that we can't work on -- or we can only do one
part of a larger wish -- then it's our team's responsibility to really
think it through, and report back to the community about it.

A lot of these should help people stay in touch on smaller wikis and

To my opinion, the current system of Community wishlist survey is not good
