Proposals for new projects

(Talk) - Entire new projects for WikiMedia, in accordance with the New project policy. Not to be confused with Requests for new languages for new languages versions of existing projects.

1. 1. A new user specific wiki just for orientation, like Main Page Neutral, which is what meta-wikipedia used to do - before it become too focused on overly-expert users
   2. Paper Wikipedia - many things need to be done to make this practical at all
   3. Wikipedia client - offline reader suitable for CD-ROM distribution or no-net-access PCs

Proposed software changes

please do not make ANY request here. Developers do not use meta: for feature requests. They should be posted to mediawiki-l for discussion or filled as a feature request on bugzilla.wikimedia.org

1. 1. A roadmap for how wikitax will or must evolve, as per simple ideology of Wikitax which allows for chat, email and other influences on how things are marked up
   2. person DTD, spacetime DTD, ecoregion DTD to neutrally establish who, when, where without relying on changing or multiple names, e.g. "Bohemia", "Czechoslovakia", "Slovakia", etc.
   3. A proposal to create a separate Table: namespace (to treat them more like images) and an intuitive table editor (to avoid the downsides of raw table markup)
   4. Allow users to create multiproject Watchlists and interproject or e-mail notifications. (E-mails must already be there in 1.5)
      1. Moreover, if that wouldn't overload the database servers, users could be provided with a way to create public automated watchlists that trace the recent changes in a certain set of pages: e.g. the frequently biased non-NPOV articles, etc.
   5. Please consider introducing the visibility parameter for categories:
   6. at the moment it would be quite convenient to introduce invisible categories like "Links to featured articles in XX" as we now have the Link FA template. I believe that would do a great job for translators. --ACrush ^?!/_© 11:24, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

   1. Prefix change proposal, e.g. interwiki link standard
   2. p-cactions change proposal
