Developer Wishlist/section

Developer Wishlist 2017 Voting is open until Tuesday, February 14, 23:59 UTC.

If you want to vote for a proposal, please add your signature to the Support section. There are no specific voting criteria: if you consider yourself a MediaWiki or Wikimedia developer, your vote is welcome. This includes bot owners, people working on external tools or gadgets or Lua modules or complex templates, people using the Wikimedia APIs in their own project, people working on developer community outreach or documentation, etc. In case of doubt, err on the side of voting.

The process is a simple approval vote: you can vote on as many proposals as you want (but please only once on each), and the results will be sorted by the total number of supporting votes they receive. There are no "oppose" votes; if you think something is a bad idea, please explain it on the linked Phabricator task instead, so that people intending to work on the proposal in the feature can find your arguments and take them into account.

The Endorsements section is for feedback on how the problem affects you; it is informational and does not influence the results (but developers picking tasks from the wishlist to work on might take it into account). If you have personally encountered the problem that the proposal is trying to solve (while developing, or while helping/mentoring other developers), please tell about it in the Endorsements section. If you feel you can speak for your whole group (user group, team/department, chapter, institution etc.) on how the problem affects them, you are encouraged to do so. You still can (and should) vote on the proposal after endorsing it.

If you are not that familiar with wikitext: to vote, add  to the bottom of the Support section. To endorse, add  to the bottom of the Endorsements section. You can also use the Vote/Endorse buttons, but they are experimental so don't be shocked if they don't work. (Please report any errors to User:Tgr (WMF).
