Really good and useful, Amir. In the last years we have developed some similar tools, and the problem I see is about discoverability. How could we make this kind of tools extremely easy to find, and not something external that you must search for? Personally, I think that the user menu could be a great place to have these kinds of tools which make finding topics to edit easier. While I can't find a perfect solution, it would be great to know if the product team is thinking on a way to integrate the miriad of tools.
Thanks again for the tool Galder ________________________________ From: James Heilman <jmh...@gmail.com> Sent: Monday, September 18, 2023 12:57 AM To: Wikimedia Mailing List <wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org> Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Re: Tool to find articles to create or improve in non-English Wikipedias Very nice Amir. We have built a somewhat similar tool specifically to help guide translation of healthcare related content https://mdwiki.toolforge.org/Translation_Dashboard/index.php Some of the additional functionality is that it integrates with the content translation tool, automatically collects data around the number of translations completed to create a leaderboard, and fixes / makes a bunch of minor adjustments after the translation is done. Our tool is based on categories, rather than an entire Wikiproject, as we wanted the ability to manually determine which articles are on the English side of the list. This allows us to make sure the English content is of high quality before it is proposed for translation.
