I could imagine that certain types of bots, tools and gadgets would benefit if handled and developed with support from a chapter.
For instance, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Citation_bot is used widely but cannot be maintained by its original author. It is currently being ported to Labs ( https://github.com/wrought/citation-bot ) to restore functionality, but due to ongoing developments in other areas (e.g. citation templates), adaptations are necessary on an ongoing basis. Who should do that? And what about feature requests?
Yes! From a user perspective, that's definitely an area of need, and a great example too. Personal note: I LOVE Citation Bot, and I hope it
comes
back soon!
It appears to be operating
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Citation_bot
Ah, thanks, I didn't check -- just saw the inactive note on the bot page. Glad to see that it's operating; I was super sad when it went away as it makes it so easy to cite recent journal articles.
Anyway, yes, a good example of a small tool that makes editing easier :)
