Community Tech
We leverage the Wishlist to collaborate with editors, volunteer developers, and other Wikimedia teams to turn community-identified needs into real solutions, and work on priority wishes.
The team
??? How We Work
[edit]We are a small team with limited resources, and balance our efforts across three categories:
- Building tooling to advance the Community Wishlist
- Maintenance of existing tools and features supported by the Community Tech team
- Delivering on wishes, primarily by adopting Focus Areas supported by volunteers.
When we say "no" to a given request, we are merely stating it goes against our current priorities.
When working and communicating with us:
- Please be calm, civil, and assume we’re working in good faith.
- We aim to respond promptly but can't guarantee immediate replies.
- Sometimes, we may need to close a conversation if it takes too much of our time or attention.
- We can not handle projects on another team's roadmap or ones that conflict with their work, but we will direct you to the right person when possible.
- We can not discuss staffing or confidential issues.
Current selected projects
[edit]Community Tech is currently wrapping up carry-over work from the 2023 Wishlist. Beginning in 2024-25, the team will adopt community-supported Focus Areas via the new Community Wishlist.

[edit]July 24, 2025: Watchlists and Recent Changes pages
[edit]Hello everyone! The Community Tech team is looking for feedback on a critical aspect of Wikipedians’ day-by-day activities – Watchlists and Recent Changes pages – and we’ve captured a lot of requests via the Task Prioritization focus area.
Watchlist (on larger wikis) and Recent Changes (on smaller wikis) are critical surfaces that are the “first stop” on Wikipedia, and for some users are the powerful landing pages when editing (see the findings of our latest report). Their feed receives regular review from many users, ranging from quick scans to extremely thorough explorations. Administrators, patrollers and established users rely on their watchlist as their main way to follow pages they care about—whether for governance, content, or communications tasks. Still, these pages have largely been untouched throughout the years, and volunteers often feel like they’re an “overflowing inbox.”
As we received lots of wishes pertaining to this focus area, we decided to make it into our main focus for the upcoming months. Our goal in this effort is to increase the click-through rate from watchlist to an edit. To achieve this goal, we initially want to focus on a core problem: watchlists can be overwhelming for editors with 100+ watched items, and they need ways to “break” their watchlists into component parts. We’ve seen at least 5 wishes that speak to this core issue. We also heard volunteers ask for better filtering mechanisms, performance improvements, and ability to view diffs in their watchlists.
We recognise that those two pages are the starting point of many wikipedians in their moderation activities, and we want to make them a better place to find the edits that need review. We also recognise that there are a plurality of use cases for watchlists and Recent Changes pages, so we need to balance the needs of users with less than 100 items in their watchlists and more than 100. Lastly, we will be facing substantial technical constraints that we will need to take into account when working on your wishes, which we are prioritizing in this quarter and the next.
We welcome you to review the task prioritization focus area and, if another idea comes to mind on how to improve recent changes or watchlist, we suggest you submit a wish!
