Paraphrase material from reliable sources in a way that is neutral in tone and does not introduce synthesis. Samsara 1 March 2019
For the 2016 Community Wishlist Survey, I made the following proposals:
- Watchlists: Make hiding work correctly
- Admins: Make the display of protection templates automatic
- Watchlists: Remember last used namespace
- Admins: Button to quickly revert page creation vandalism
The first two are long-known flaws of MediaWiki. Both currently put vandals at a slight advantage and need to be fixed.
The last two are trivially easy to implement, but will make a difference to ease of use.
But the real headliner is would be could have been this one:
- Gadgets: Greatly overhaul media viewer (archived, with discussion ensuing)
- Original proposal can be seen here
Another bug of note:
Some of what I did for Wikipedia in 2017
editDuring the course of 2017, I became the top contributor over the last 50,000 edits to Wikipedia:Requests for page protection (RfPP), bringing my total of page protections to almost 2,000, with 500 reprotections and a pending changes log also numbering close to 500 entries. I may be the originator or principal populariser of the idea of enabling long term pending changes on pages that have required semi-protection for a definite period, and I also wrote the original draft of the rough guide to extended confirmed protection. As a side-effect of my activity at RfPP, I was also the tied-second most prolific contributor to Wikipedia:Arbitration enforcement log/2017. 50,000 is almost exactly the number of edits made to RfPP in 2017.
