Thank you very much, Amir!
I would like to know whether translations will be open in Translatewiki to make it
available and helpful for non-English speakers?
I would gladly translate it to a couple other languages! I also agree on the views from
Galder regarding the current non-existing noticeability of all these tools for most
wikipedians.
Salutacions/Kind regards

Hi,
TLDR: There is now a tool that gives you list of articles to improve or create based on
WikiProjects of English Wikipedia. For example, articles of top importance in WikiProject
Mathematics that are missing or short in Azeri Wikipedia:
https://whattodo.toolforge.org/?lang=az&topic=Mathematics&importanc…
(I'm sorry for spamming your mailboxes, but I couldn't find a place to bring this
up that would be more fitting.)
This tool basically gets the list of articles of a given wikiproject of a given
importance and tells you which ones are missing are below 10K bytes in the given target
language.
For example:
- For WikiProject Physics and target of Hungarian Wikipedia, you get [2] saying article
of Speed is missing while existing in 79 wikis and article of Molekulapálya [3] is the
shortest article of this importance with ~700 bytes.
- For Wikiproject Poland and target of Dutch Wikipedia, you get [1] saying article of
"Ignacy Mościcki" is missing in Dutch Wikipedia while existing in 38 other
languages (and many more articles to create or improve)
- For Wikiproject Computer Science and target of Vietnamese Wikipedia, you get [4] saying
article of "Alonzo Church" exists in 50 wikipedias but not in Vietnamese
Wikipedia (and more articles to create or improve in field of computer science)
- and many more but you get the idea.
It is not perfect, for example the concept of importance and what articles belong to them
is not perfect but it's better than nothing.
I personally find this useful in events and editathons where a newcomer asks
"I'm interested in topic X what can I do?" and you can give them at least
something to work on. Or for small or medium wikis to find gaps in their content in given
topics.
Noting that there are more than 2,800 WikiProjects in English Wikipedia, the topics to
pick are quite broad. From Olivia Roderigo [5] to Rome [6] to Soap Operas [7] to Trains
[8]. Hope that'd be useful for you.
If anyone is feeling comfortable to help maintain or add features to it, please let me
know. I wrote this in four or five hours, it's quite basic and more of a PoC of what
it could become.
