small

 * Now that 49208 is merged, propose renaming the directory "mw-config" to "first-run" or "run-installer" (see this post on wikitech-l)
 * Normalize nomenclature to "access points" as opposed to "entry points" (see in-wiki changes)
 * Harmonize special page titles (Delete page✓; Delete → Delete file; Action completed → Page deleted; Block user → User blocked)
 * Redirect UX improvements
 * 29488 - Make pages accessed from Special:Random display a redirect notice. Most useful for when a custom random link —e.g. Special:Random/talk— is followed.
 * Add CSS class to files that are redirects, so they can be styled
 * Redirected files don't show the "redirected from" line
 *  3753 - Option to hide rows from Special:Contributions where the edit is the most recent to a page
 * When a category contains elements whose sort key is a space, the header in the category should be a  so that it aligns with other columns, "cont.", etc.
 * patrolling:
 * Autopromotion rule to make a user's edits auto-patrolled if all their previous edits (minimum: X) have been patrolled
 * The "Marked as patrolled" page's "Return to Special:RecentChanges" link should preserve the RC configs (e.g. hideanons, etc)
 * Can't patrol a redirect's first revision (mark as patrolled link should show up as it does for a new page)
 * Patrolling a the first revision of a page: no diff link in the RC, one has to click the page title, which displays the latest revision for patrolling, rather than the 1st
 * Check if this solves the issue
 * "Mark this page as patrolled" is ambiguous. Doesn't that work by revisions? Clarify.
 * Marking an edit as patrolled should have a link back to the patrolled edit!
 * What's the conceptual difference between MediaWiki:Tagline ("") and MediaWiki:Sitesubtitle ("")?
 * Are they meant to be used together, i.e.  --> ", "?
 * Manual:Tagline (Site Subtitle) needs to clarify this.
 * Sitesubtitle seems to be only used in the CologneBlue skin
 * Tagline defaults to "From ", and  seems to be used in the html   element, as in Wikipedia, where the   is "Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia"
 * There was also the $wgExtraSubtitle configuration variable, used in SkinLegacy.php, which was removed in 132583. TODO: make sure Extension:Configure was updated to remove it too.
 * Why doesn't this Special:WhatLinksHere listing display entries in alphabetical order?
 * Special:Stabilization (for FlaggedRevs) should have an input box if no target is specified.
 * (and a more useful error message than this).
 * 64164 - customization parameters (float/alignment) for the  parser function
 * change the link expansion section of commonPrint.css to also expand (aliased? all?) internal links. Non-aliased internal links should at least be marked somehow.
 * Link to Special:Diff in the  (and also in the one for hidden users, in the source code line below it)
 * Include friendly group names in system messages (see en:User:PleaseStand/userinfo.js, which maintains a manual list). This probably is already stored somewhere, since en:Special:ListGroupRights has readable names.
 * Special:Log/newusers should allow filtering by users with edits, like Special:ListUsers

medium

 * 44205 - rename userrights to usergroups
 * 42964 - Add support for more types of Flickr URLs to UploadWizard
 * 27087 - Rename curid and wgArticleId to pageid and wgPageId
 * 10268 - Watchlist RSS feed should include diffs (like page history RSS does. See also: 471 - Basic XML Feed support for watchlist)
 * Does the RC feed omit diffs for pages in the MediaWiki namespace?
 * 7908 - Footnotes content should appear in a tooltip | 5231 - Mouseover explanations for interlanguage links in native languages
 * 14901 - Email notification mistakes log action for new page creation (don't send emails saying a page was created when it was deleted, protected, etc. See also Extension:Email notification/to-do. Also, there was a post in the planet wikimedia about simplifying the email text, but I can't find it... Account Creation Improvement Project/Testing content?). Meta-bug for email notification issues: 1932
 * Special:UserList and Special:ActiveUsers: Add option to filter out blocked users. (see 33545)
 * Special:UserList: Contributions filter should only consider non-deleted contributions.
 * Add checkbox to Patrol log to allow hiding automatic patrols
 * Undeleting a page should show a checkbox to undelete the corresponding subject/talk dual
 * Investigate illegal title issues (see gmail chat log w/ Robin, Manual:$wgIllegalFileChars, Manual:$wgLegalTitleChars, docs/title.txt, and includes/Title.php's )
 * Try uploading a file and setting its target filename to include a /
 * "Associated namespace" checkbox in Special:RecentChanges should work also when namespace filter is inverted
 * Auto-generated icons for sidebar items: lowercase everything; replace periods (and possibly other special characters) with dashes
 * Why is  a virtual namespace rather than a parser function?
 * CLI  + sqlite bugs: 40966 (using a zero for the SQLite database name —as in 0.sqlite— breaks installation without warnings) and 28512 (SQLite installation via CLI fails to expand ~ in path)
 * Both could probably be fixed with something like
 * Other core sqlite bugs
 * 65451: Better use of space in gallery layouts
 * Make a new tool to display a graphical timeline of the user's status & activity across wikimedia wikis, as a mix of meta:User:Waldir and https://github.com/waldyrious/learning-holography/graphs/contributors.
 * Sorting possibly based on most active overall (most cumulative edits) or most active recently. To be tested.
 * Alternatively to a smooth plot (both for individual projects and cumulative), investigate if it would work better to display as bars, à lá github / ohloh / supercount
 * Potentially some ideas at Bug 700 - Code quality issues (tracking)
 * Visual Editor
 * It should be possible to see the diff or the preview in one click, rather than going to the "Publish changes" dialog first
 * In the diff view, pressing "publish changes" should return to the edit summary box, otherwise the edit is saved without a summary!
 * In the edit summary, the Enter key should be usable to submit (edit summaries can't be multiline anyway)
 * List items should have a space after the  or
 * Code editing should have syntax highlighting

 * Is it possible to change the URL when following a redirect? What are the drawbacks? Cache invalidation? Reload (new HTTP request)?
 * It is possible client-side, see 143852, 35045 and 39328. I wonder if there are other reasons not to change the URL...
 * Would it be possible to enable transclusion of Special:Random?
 * 140975
 * Allow  parameter to   so wikitext can be passed directly in the url (and thus customized, while a preload file can't take parameters). See Manual:Creating pages with preloaded text and Manual:Parameters to index.php
 * Allow filtering popular pages by namespace (e.g. Special:PopularPages/talk). Also allow transcluding it and adding a limit (Special:PopularPages/10 or Special:PopularPages?limit=10). This would enable making a box similar to the common "popular posts" feature in various blogging platforms.
 * Tools for Toolforge:
 * Resurrect User:Nickj's link suggester (Can We Link It?
 * A similar functionality has been implemented in the Add a link project from the Growth team, based on machine learning.
 * It may be worth comparing the experience with both tools to see if there are features/UX that the new one could adopt.
 * It may also be worth creating a tool aimed at intermediate/experienced editors, rather than novices as is the case with "Add a link".
 * Also, the "Add a link" feature seems to simply suggest articles to edit, but (1) it makes no suggestions for which words to link, nor which articles to link to, and (2) it doesn't offer a specialized interface to make those edits. Am I missing something??
 * Ah, it seems the deployment is still ongoing. They need to generate ML models for each Wikipedia. English Wikipedia is tracked in T308144. Portuguese Wikipedia is already done according to T304542, so I'll try there.
 * Apparently it's possible to locate such articles by searching for  rather than via the Newcomer homepage. Can one also trigger the editing interface directly? It seems so . Maybe the help page could mention this.
 * Apparently it only works in the visual editor? I had VE disabled in ptwiki and the link from the Newcomer homepage did a weird half-styling of the page as if the visual editor would be triggered, but nothing happened. Also, the tutorial was available from the bottom right of the page, but didn't work properly (it didn't show up automatically, and the banner image didn't load).
 * Looks like one cannot manually add other links besides those suggested by the tool! I.e. visual editor's suggested edits mode seems to restrict edits only to the suggested ones!
 * See the Add-Link Phabricator dashboard to track work in this project.
 * See my archived userpage on Toolserver for more ideas
