TASK DESCRIPTION
**Problem**: The system composed by Wikidata, its sister projects, the rest
of the Wikibase ecosystem and other platforms that use data from Wikidata lacks
the efficient information exchange mechanisms that are necessary to enrich
Wikidata and Wikibase with feedback from their users, even from Wikidata
editors, and react to possible problems. When someone cannot, or does not know,
how to fix an issue or apply an improvement to Wikidata or the software, this
person should be able to easily and efficiently request someone else to take
care of it. Today not even the self-contained information flows in Wikidata are
consistent: we have pages whose titles are their targets (e.g., Administrators'
noticeboard, Bureaucrats' noticeboard...) and pages whose titles are the
problems they deal with (e.g., Requests
for deletions), and it's not obvious for a newcomer what page to write on.
For some cases, between different projects we directly don't have anything in
mind to manage feedback.
The following table could be a starting point to think about what would be
the best (easiest and most efficient) mechanism that a person from a certain
project should follow to ask for attention depending on the case.
