Yet-to-be-reached communities and individuals: Remove all barriers that we can control. Engaging with our projects can be daunting and is possibly too complex for many people. While this may be appropriate for some content creation, complexity should not prevent individuals from accessing and assimilating the body of free knowledge that we maintain and defend. In order to remove those barriers, we need to understand specific difficulties experienced by people who are currently unable to participate, at every audience and interest level. | access, participation, research | Wikimedia Foundation staff | Access, Outreach, Awareness | A Truly Global Movement |

Wikidata as it is is not a solution. Editors have to update the data there as well. So in the end we need an automatic input of data. I don't know if Bots will write Wikipedia in 2030, but as it is now with the disappearance of just 1 important editor all falls apart regarding the up-to-dateness of certain topics.

Although Wikipedia is the main and the most recognisable project of Wikimedia Foundation, [we] should recognise the identity of other Wikimedia projects, features of their development and their data usage. Doing this will help to decrease the prevalence of the thinking pattern ‘wiki = Wikipedia’ and [should help?] the other projects to develop as completely different areas of focus.

Wikidata is widely used across projects and communities, both internally and externally. | wikidata, cross-usage | Wikimedia Serbia | Beyond Wikipedia | The Augmented Age |
Wikidata should be a strong tool for arts researchers, but most of them do not understand what it is very much. RDF or RDBMS does not sound good for them. | research, arts | Japanese Wikidata Twitter | Beyond Wikipedia | The Augmented Age |
Wikidata was created to solve the problems with updates of simple facts in Wikipedias - but now it started to be independent project with its own mission to collect all possibly available data.

For this we have technology such as Wikidata. I especially like the way the French are doing it, by using templates in subpages. Another advantage is that the data will be provided from people and sources from the regions where the data is from originally.

As for Japanese Wikipedia, I am feeling dissatisfaction that collaboration between users active in global and users active in local is not much. The ones who are enhancing articles are who speaks only the native tongue. I am feeling a gap between them and global contributors.

This may be limited in Japan and Japanese communities in which their language is somewhat isolated from others, and where people can receive higher education in their native tongue, but the same thing may be said in other languages.

Improving fork and merge: MediaWiki is indeed great to record everything in History, to edit a page by multiple users, however, it easily gets entangled in History once a number of users started to edit across (more than one) pages.

Needs for undisclosed area: Although I understand MediaWiki is not a CMS but a Wiki engine, I hope detailed view and write permissions in MediaWiki core. This is because some editors want to draft an article privately (by him/herself, or by a small group), or to share confidential information (which should not to be public) among admins. Admin email list of jawp is not working as of now, and email list cannot be "editable" and should not work as "forum to summarize information" as 'one poster posts one message'.

Searching for a headquarter outside the US (Silicon Valley is too expensive and they don't get good employees there because the competition from Google, Facebook and Apple is too big). It has been proven by Wikidata that there are better locations for software providers) A chance for growth for regional and thematic organizations including their own fundraising or fundraising done by WMF for them MediaWiki should be entirely open Any change or extension of software should only be done by approvement and demand by the community only. Democracy. All supervisory positions shall only be appointed by editors, not by 3 people alone. All 10 of them and no guaranteed position for Mr Wales. No more Lex Jimbo, unblocking of Russavia Stop the distribution of assumptions regarding the ration of Women articles and the percentage of female staff. Conduct studies and work with acutal figures and not with guessed assumptions. The problem we have is not the number of articles about women but the quality of these articles. All activity here is just about quantity, not quality. Stop obsessively searching for new editors. If you lay the right foundations here they will come by themselves automatically. All effort in this direction did not yield any result until now. The activities until now were rather counterproductive. No more faster-higher-stronger when evaluating projects from volunteers. We are the ones who are financing their jobs. A central dictum is that WMF and its associated organizations exist for us, not the other way around. WMF has to learn that there is more than en.wikipedia and the US and we're not a US chapter.

The problem is the balance of "leftist" and "rightist" editors. "Leftists" tend to work fast but they are quite often very chaotic, "rightist" think very long before they start doing anything - they are perfectionist. At the beginning of the Wikipedia the majority of users were "leftists", but many impatient ones left Wikipedia for other faster social media sites such as Facebook. It wasn't bad as it helped to better structure Wikipedia and make it less chaotic, however now the "rightist" users are slowly leaving the project as well and the new ones "leftist" make turn Wikipedia into chaos. Therefore there should be a delicate balance between those 2 groups, and if moved in one or another direction it may means the death of the project. So - what we should do is to nurse this balance - help find newbie "leftists" when there are too many "rightists", but also take care of "rights" when there is too many "leftist" approaching too fast. | Community balance, stability and rules vs chaos. | Polish wikipedia Facebook group | Health | Healthy, Inclusive Communities |

Despite of Open Data and the Free Knowledge Movement an increasing number of of data is disappearing in industry. Data, lists and indexes that formerly were available under a free license and that became commercial. For start ups and the sharing community it get increasingly difficult to get acess to information without being forced to cooperate. Wikipedia could be a counterpart to that. For that we should write essential articles instead of concentrating on minor "celebrities".

Create a team of contributors who are specialized in uploading photos, since the licensing/uploading process seems plain impossible to new comers. Make Wikipedia social media-friendly in order to reach a new, wider audience. Admins should not hold all the important user rights on Wikipedia, revision and deletion authorities should be granted to other experienced users. Stop creating new language projects (e. g. Egyptian Wikipedia), as they are wasting so much energy while serving very little of an audience. Offer paid salaries to some contributors as an encouragement (just as famous users on Youtube profit from their channels so that they thrive to improve their videos). Add a tool to support formal communication with outside entities, like universities or important people, in order to verify information on Wikipedia.

Hopes there are some ways for scholars to join as observers. I conceived this idea from hearing that a scholar says certain Wikipedia articles have problems. Articles can be improved dramatically with feedbacks from academia. Contributing to Wikipedia articles and its relevant discussions may be burdensome and only few numbers of professionals have joined so far, however, I wonder if some may agree to join in certain ways, such as pointing out article faults or endorsing references. I heard a doctor complaining it is hard to persuade a patient believing wrong description of Wikipedia. This way of participation would help such professionals to prevent false information spread.
