Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Bots and gadgets/Automate WikiProject weekly collaborations/Proposal
- Problem: Collaborations such as the historical WikiProject collaborations of the week are a proven effective wiki-based tool for improving vital articles, but they are hard to maintain in the long-term, requiring a dedicated volunteer to manage them every week or month.
- Proposed solution: Universalize the automation system established for Articles for improvement on enwiki, so that it can apply to any language, WikiProject or arbitrary list of articles.
- Who would benefit:
- WikiProjects on Wikipedias in any language, and likely other sister projects as well.
- Furthers Movement Strategy/Recommendations/Identify Topics for Impact, and particularly by supporting WikiProjects in underrepresented areas.
- Could also be used for cross-project collaborations.
- More comments: The current automation for Articles for improvement on enwiki operates through a bot run by User:MusikAnimal.
