Here are the results of the Community Wishlist Survey for the Larger suggestions category – thanks to everyone who participated this year!

See the results across all categories.

This page groups all of the Community Wishlist Survey 2022 proposals that are out of scope for the Community Tech team.

What will happen to these wishes?
Good ideas should not get lost in the Archive. In 2022, the Community Tech Team committed to showing the larger ideas to the Wikimedia Foundation leadership so that they may be aware of them during annual planning. Leadership, as well as other Wikimedia Foundation Product department teams will be made aware about these larger asks.
Can participants vote on these larger suggestions wishes?
During the voting phase, participants are welcome to add their "Support" on these wishes, but please note that regardless of popularity, there is no guarantee these proposals will be implemented. Supporting the idea helps communicate its urgency.
