Weird how we weren't even invited to share our opinions, only to vote. We would make more informed choices after a good discussion.
This new "Focus areas" format is terrible and should be scrapped ASAP. We should be able to choose what we want, not the least bad group. Each focus group has at least one idea that produces little to no benefit and costs a large amount of developer time.
Community Wishlist/Wishes/Improve review speed - unclear what they mean. Find a way to improve review speed? How? It doesn't appear to be an idea on how to improve things, just a complaint that something is imperfect. The complainant is correct, but if we don't know how to fix it then it is a waste of time to consider this "wish".
Community Wishlist/Wishes/Statement traceability - again unclear what they mean, the wish does not appear to make sense, and this is clearly not a way to measure consensus.
Community Wishlist/Wishes/Username changes status bar - unnecessary, you can copy the templates from the English Wikipedia and translate them. Almost no one changes their name and wasting developer time on shiny graphics to replace our existing templates is a bad idea when there are large amounts of technical debt.
Community Wishlist/Wishes/Make Show Preview button work in protected pages - actually a good idea, should take a couple of minutes.
Community Wishlist/Wishes/After making a new page, make it a draft so bad pages aren't left E.g. Maximal Rank Conjecture. - a good idea for smaller wikis. Won't affect 99% of users, because not many people visit small wikis.
Community Wishlist/Wishes/Build a Wikipedia search that addresses common queries asked by new volunteers Please don't make yet another AI powered useless chatbot. Please. Please. We all hate interacting with them.
