Odd wish

Community Wishlist/Wishes/Указывать в статьях Википедии на какую целевую аудиторию они ориентированы./en doesn't make sense yet and hasn't been discussed at all. I am not sure why it is in this focus area already. Commander Keane (talk) 11:22, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

You have to trim the "/en" to view the discussion page, otherwise "Discussion" is a red link. A bot could create redirects but I haven't considered multi-language interaction. There has been discussion, here. Commander Keane (talk) 07:15, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

Not sure why Community Wishlist/Wishes/Reconsider the strict adherence to policies that defy common sense is bundled into this focus area. It's a complaint about an en.wp-local Notability outcome, detailed at en:WP:BFDI. Notability guidelines vary widely across projects and are based on local consensuses, so there's really no global action that can help with this except maybe creating space to foreground links that the local communities find especially relevant.

Article Creation Guidance

There is a full project at en.Wiki which addresses this issue complete with images, wire frames for the UI pages and templates. As it requires only a minimum of coding in js and no creation of a MediaWiki extension, it can be handled locally by en.Wiki volunteers. Kudpung (talk) 08:15, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Kudpung which project are you referring to? JWheeler-WMF (talk) 21:37, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

This: Newcomer experience + new article creation. I believe it was led on the WMF side by Kerstin Stoller. It's an en.Wiki project and more specifically addresses the growing crisis at New Page Review commonly referred to as NPP. Collaboration with the WMF appeared to have lapsed during my absence as we were given to understand that this would not fall into the sphere of the Wishlist, and Growth has other priorities. As the issue is a local en.Wiki one and requires no work on Media Wiki or an extension the general feeling is that this can be addressed more quickly and more suitably by en.Wiki NPP volunteers. Among them there are a +2 MediaWiki specialist and experts in UX and UI design. Project pages have been consolidated and workshoping is expected to begin soon. This is not to be confused with any newcomer onboarding projects or mentorship schemes that the Growth Team may currently be focused on. Let me know if you would like further information.Kudpung (talk) 04:12, 5 March 2025 (UTC)
