The Community Wishlist Survey 2022
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2022> starts in
less than two weeks (Monday 10 January 2022, 18:00 UTC
<https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20220110T1800>).
We, the team organizing the Survey, need your help.
- Translate important messages
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Translate&group=agg-Community_Wishlist_Survey&action=page>
and/or
- Promote the Survey
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey/Help_us>
among anyone and everyone you know who has an account on wiki. Promote the
Survey on social media, via instant messaging apps, in other groups and
chats, in your WikiProject, Wikimedia affiliate - wherever contributors
with registered accounts may be.
- You may also start thinking about ideas for technical improvements or
even writing them down in the CWS sandbox
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey/Sandbox>.
*Why are we asking?*
- We have improved the documentation
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey/FAQ>. It's
friendlier and easier to use. This will mean little if it's only in English.
- Thousands of volunteers haven't participated in the Survey yet. We'd
like to improve that, too. Three years ago, 1387 people participated. Last
year, there were 1773 of them. We hope that in the upcoming edition, there
will be even more - if you help us with translations. Also, you are better
than us in contacting Wikimedians outside of wikis. We have prepared some
images to share. More to come.
*What is the Community Wishlist Survey?*
It's an annual survey that allows contributors to the Wikimedia projects to
propose and vote for tools and platform improvements. Long years of
experience in editing or technical skills are not required.
Thank you for your time and attention. To those who have participated in
the Survey - many thanks for your dedication.
See you in January!
