Hi Butch, Thanks for your suggestions. On our end, the Wikimedia Foundation Product department is currently undertaking stakeholder discussions in all the areas you mentioned to understand the problem from all different perspectives. As we go through this process we are also looking at potential technical solutions that would reduce some of the pain points that have been brought up both here and on the talk page. There are some existing recommendations on this mailing list and the meta page that are good starting points for these discussions. We will be summarizing our findings and sharing them on this list and the talk page once we have completed this process. If anyone has direct feedback, my inbox is always open.
