<!--T:8-->
Hello, everyone!

<!--T:9-->
We’re excited to share an update on the Community Tech 2020 Wishlist Survey. This will be our fifth annual Community Wishlist Survey, and for this year, we’ve decided to take a different approach. In the past, we've invited people to write proposals for any features or fixes that they'd like to see, and the Community Tech team has addressed the top ten wishes with the most support votes. This year, we're just going to focus on the '''non-Wikipedia content projects''' (i.e. Wikibooks, Wiktionary, Wikiquote, Wikisource, Wikiversity, Wikispecies, Wikivoyage, and Wikinews), and we're only going to address the '''top five wishes''' from this survey. This is a big difference from the typical process. In the following year (2021), we’ll probably return to the traditional structure.

<!--T:10-->
So, why this change? We’ve been following the same format for years—and, generally, it has lots of benefits. We build great tools, provide useful improvements, and have an impact on diverse communities. However, the nature of the format tends to prioritize the largest project (Wikipedia). This makes it harder to serve smaller projects, and many of their wishes never make it onto the wishlist. As a community-focused team, we want to support '''''all''''' projects. Thus, for 2020, we want to shine a light on non-Wikipedia projects.

<!--T:11-->
Furthermore, we’ll be accepting five wishes. Over the years, we’ve taken on larger wishes (like [[<tvar name="1">Special:MyLanguage/Community Tech/Global preferences</tvar>|Global Preferences]] or [[<tvar name="2">Special:MyLanguage/Community Tech/Who Wrote That tool</tvar>|Who Wrote That]]), which are awesome projects. At the same time, they tend to be lengthy endeavors, requiring extra time for research and development. When we looked at the 2019 wishlist, there were still many unresolved wishes. Meanwhile, we wanted to make room for the new 2020 wishes. For this reason, we’ve decided to take on a shortened list, so we can address as many wishes (new and [[<tvar name="3">Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist Survey 2019/Results</tvar>|remaining 2019 wishes]]) as possible.</translate>

{{:Community Wishlist Survey/Heading|1=<translate><!--T:14--> Guidelines</translate>|2=guidelines}}

<translate>
<!--T:15-->
As a team, we have spent some time to consider the guidelines that are appropriate for this year’s survey. We have made the following decisions (see below):

<!--T:16-->
* Each wish should be for a non-Wikipedia content project that has no dedicated team (i.e., Wikibooks, Wiktionary, Wikiquote, Wikisource, Wikiversity, Wikispecies, Wikivoyage, and Wikinews).
* Wishes that are global (i.e., generally target all wikis) are not eligible.
* Wishes for Wikipedia or that apply to Wikipedias only are not eligible.
* Wishes for Wikidata or Wikimedia Commons are not eligible.
* The Community Tech team will make the final decisions regarding which wishes are manageable, [[Community_Tech#Scope|within scope]], and aligned with the guidelines.

<!--T:17-->
'''Why no global wishes''': We spent a lot of time discussing whether we should include global wishes. On the one hand, we genuinely understood the desire for global wishes. On the other hand, we didn't want global wishes to dominate the wishlist, thereby defeating the purpose of supporting smaller projects. We also discussed the possibility of permitting ''some'' global wishes. Overall, we decided that, because we're only accepting 5 new wishes this year, we didn't want to limit the already reduced resources available to smaller projects. With that being said, we still plan to address global wishes from [[Community Wishlist Survey 2019/Results|last year’s wishlist]] (e.g., Watchlist Expiry, Section Name in Diff).

<!--T:18-->
'''Why no Wikidata or Commons wishes''': We decided to exclude Wikidata and Commons for a few reasons. First, both projects have dedicated teams or teams that have released large improvements (i.e., WMDE’s team for Wikidata; the Structured Data Team for Commons). This is a different situation than all the other non-Wikipedia projects, which have no dedicated teams and have historically struggled to find support from development teams. Second, Wikidata and Commons tend to be global in nature—which is fantastic, but not within the scope of the 2020 Wishlist.

<!--T:19-->
Overall, this is an experiment, and we hope to learn a lot from it. For the upcoming year, we'll be able to interact with a range of communities, support underrepresented projects, and encourage all Wikimedians (including ourselves!) to think of how we can further empower smaller projects. Additionally, we’re excited to address global wishes from last year’s wishlist. We thank you for your feedback, and we look forward to seeing the proposals in November. Thank you!</translate>

The 2020 Community Wishlist Survey is now complete! We want to thank everyone for their participation in this year’s survey. It was a very civil and smooth process, and we appreciate all of the help that we received. Now, we’re delighted to announce the top 5 wishes from the survey:

# [[Community Wishlist Survey 2020/Wikisource/Improve export of electronic books|Improve export of electronic books]] (Wikisource)
# [[Community Wishlist Survey 2020/Wikisource/New OCR tool|New OCR tool]] (Wikisource)
# [[Community Wishlist Survey 2020/Wikisource/Migrate Wikisource specific edit tools from gadgets to Wikisource extension|Migrate Wikisource specific edit tools from gadgets to Wikisource extension]] (Wikisource)
# [[Community Wishlist Survey 2020/Wikisource/Inter-language link support via Wikidata|Inter-language link support via Wikidata]] (Wikisource)
# [[Community Wishlist Survey 2020/Wiktionary/Insert attestation using Wikisource as a corpus|Insert attestation using Wikisource as a corpus]] (Wiktionary)

Here’s what comes next: We’ll begin analyzing these five wishes after the new year. During our analysis, we’ll consider various factors, including possible dependencies and risks. Once we’ve completed this analysis, we’ll determine which wish to address first. We’ll create a project page on Meta-Wiki for that wish, which will outline the project vision. We’ll also ping all the wish voters, so everyone can share their suggestions and questions on the Talk page. From that point, updates will be found on the project page. The first project page should be launched in the next few months (no set date yet), but you can visit the [[Community Tech]] page for updates in the meantime.

As a team, our goal is to address every top wish in the Community Wishlist Survey. This means that we analyze each wish and determine if it’s workable (i.e., within scope, no major conflicts with other teams, etc). In many cases, the wish is workable. We then continue with the research and planning, followed by development, testing, and deployment. However, we sometimes identify significant issues or risks associated with a wish. In such cases, we investigate alternatives and ways to mitigate the risks. As a last resort, we sometimes decline certain wishes, but only after we rule out other options. Above all, we make sure to address each wish and share our findings with the community.

As this year draws to a close, we want to thank you, again, for participating in the survey! It was a fantastic experience for the team (and we hope for you too!). After the new year, we’ll begin reaching out with plenty of questions, ideas, and updates. We’re excited to begin the work to improve Wikisource and Wiktionary. Until then, we wish you a happy new year, and we look forward to collaborating with all of you!
