'''Welcome to the page of the German community technical wishlist.''' |
|||
The German-speaking communities' ''[[:de:w:Umfragen/Technische Wünsche 2015/Topwünsche|Technical Wishlist]]'' is the result of two surveys in [[:de:w:Umfragen/Technische Wünsche|2013]] and [[:de:w:Umfragen/Technische Wünsche 2015|2015]]. The surveys have been initiated by [[user:Raymond]], conducted in close collaboration with Wikimedia Deutschland's software development department and many other people who support the technical wishes project with their ideas, technical requests and discussion of requests. |
|||
The team at WMDE's software development department is working on the list in various ways: Estimation, communication, coordination, development. |

Hello {{PAGENAME}}, and welcome to the '''Wikimedia [[Meta:About Meta|Meta-Wiki]]'''! This website is for coordinating and discussing all [[Complete list of Wikimedia projects|Wikimedia projects]].

So far the work on this list has been documented on [[:de:w:Umfragen:Technische Wünsche 2015/Topwünsche|German Wikipedia]] (in German language) and on Phabricator. This page aims to give an English-speaking overview for those who would like to follow the current work of the team without having to use Phabricator or having to know German. |

The Technical Wishlist of the German-speaking communities is not the same as the [[2015_Community_Wishlist_Survey|International Community Wishlist]]. Nethertheless, there is overlap between the two wishlists. |

Hello, |
|||
===RevisionSlider (show edit summaries in diff view, navigate through diff pages)=== |
|||
The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Single User Login finalisation announcement|the announcement]] for more information. |
|||
{{main|WMDE_Technical_Wishes/Revision_Slider}} |
|||
The RevisionSlider helps editors to see edit summaries and the version history on diff pages. It is inspired by [[User:DerHexer|DerHexer's]] [[w:User:DerHexer/revisionjumper|revisionjumper]] gadget and was [[Community Tech/RevisionSlider | prototyped]] by the Community Tech team. In April 2016, it was picked up by the WMDE's TCB team in order to fulfill wish #16 of the [[de:Wikipedia:Umfragen/Technische_Wünsche_2015/Ergebnis_der_Abstimmung|2015 technical wishes survey]]. |
|||
=== Watchlist Expiry === |
|||
Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Heinz Gemenig. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Heinz Gemenig~metawiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can [[Special:GlobalRenameRequest|pick out a different name]]. |
|||
{{main|WMDE_Technical_Wishes/Watchlist_Expiry}} |
|||
In the 2013 German Technical Wishes Survey, people wished for an option of putting pages on the watchlist for a limited period of time. This request was also #12 of the [[2015_Community_Wishlist_Survey/Results|International Wishlist Survey]]. The WMDE's TCB team started working on this task in the beginning of 2016, and is currently blocked by a database update that needs to be applied to all existing wikis. |
|||
Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in. |
|||
===Better solution for edit conflicts=== |
|||
Sorry for the inconvenience. |
|||
{{main |WMDE_Technical_Wishes/Edit_Conflicts}} |
|||
Improving edit conflicts was wish #1 on the 2015 German Technical Wishes Survey. Currently, the WMDE's TCB team is in the process of coming up with a suitable solution through gathering feedback in the community. |

Catwatch is a MediaWiki feature that allows users to view category membership changes in the recent changes and watchlists. Users can watch when a page was added or removed from a category. The feature is available on all Wikipedias and Wikimedia Commons since January 28, 2016. It is configured as "opt in" and can be enabled by default in the [[Special:Preferences|user preferences]]. |

The Backlog contains the list of open requests from the German-speaking Community Wishlist. Requests in the backlog have only been roughly estimated so far. In our quarterly plannings, we decide what tasks we're going to work on in the next quarter. Criteria for the decision-making are: Number of votes for the respective request, no current blockers like „this task needs community consensus/another community iteration first“ or „this task can be picked after the technical issues X, Y, Z have been solved“ and resources of the developers who would be best to work on that task (e.g.: person x is an expert for issue y, but he/she is already planned in for working on another task in the next quarter). The [[:de:w:Umfragen/Technische Wünsche 2015/Topwünsche|complete technical wishlist]] including current work, deployed features and backlog is currently only available in German. |

Welcome to the page of the German community technical wishlist.
The German-speaking communities' Technical Wishlist is the result of two surveys in 2013 and 2015. The surveys have been initiated by user:Raymond, conducted in close collaboration with Wikimedia Deutschland's software development department and many other people who support the technical wishes project with their ideas, technical requests and discussion of requests.
The team at WMDE's software development department is working on the list in various ways: Estimation, communication, coordination, development.
So far the work on this list has been documented on German Wikipedia (in German language) and on Phabricator. This page aims to give an English-speaking overview for those who would like to follow the current work of the team without having to use Phabricator or having to know German.
The Technical Wishlist of the German-speaking communities is not the same as the International Community Wishlist. Nethertheless, there is overlap between the two wishlists. The WMDE team is working in close collaboration with the Wikimedia Foundation's Community Tech team and Technical Collaboration team – from coordination and exchange over shared tasks to supporting each other with code review et al.

Watchlist Expiry
In the 2013 German Technical Wishes Survey, people wished for an option of putting pages on the watchlist for a limited period of time. This request was also #12 of the International Wishlist Survey. The WMDE's TCB team started working on this task in the beginning of 2016, and is currently blocked by a database update that needs to be applied to all existing wikis.
Better solution for edit conflicts
Improving edit conflicts was wish #1 on the 2015 German Technical Wishes Survey. Currently, the WMDE's TCB team is in the process of coming up with a suitable solution through gathering feedback in the community.

Backlog
The Backlog contains the list of open requests from the German-speaking Community Wishlist. Requests in the backlog have only been roughly estimated so far. In our quarterly plannings, we decide what tasks we're going to work on in the next quarter. Criteria for the decision-making are: Number of votes for the respective request, no current blockers like „this task needs community consensus/another community iteration first“ or „this task can be picked after the technical issues X, Y, Z have been solved“ and resources of the developers who would be best to work on that task (e.g.: person x is an expert for issue y, but he/she is already planned in for working on another task in the next quarter). The complete technical wishlist including current work, deployed features and backlog is currently only available in German.
