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?
 * This has been taken up by the Add a link project from the Growth team.
 * It may still be worth comparing the experience with both tools to see if there are features/UX that the new one could adopt.
 * See my archived userpage on Toolserver for more ideas
