Thanks a lot, Amir, The tool is so important, In fact, I am now using it
to find and create articles on English Wikipedia related to Gender Studies
which are missing on Kinyarwanda Wikipedia.
Best regards

Really good and useful, Amir.
In the last years we have developed some similar tools, and the problem I
see is about discoverability. How could we make this kind of tools
extremely easy to find, and not something external that you must search
for? Personally, I think that the user menu could be a great place to have
these kinds of tools which make finding topics to edit easier. While I
can't find a perfect solution, it would be great to know if the product
team is thinking on a way to integrate the miriad of tools.
Thanks again for the tool
Galder

Very nice Amir. We have built a somewhat similar tool specifically to
help guide translation of healthcare related content
https://mdwiki.toolforge.org/Translation_Dashboard/index.php
Some of the additional functionality is that it integrates with the
content translation tool, automatically collects data around the
number of translations completed to create a leaderboard, and fixes /
makes a bunch of minor adjustments after the translation is done.
Our tool is based on categories, rather than an entire Wikiproject, as
we wanted the ability to manually determine which articles are on the
English side of the list. This allows us to make sure the English
content is of high quality before it is proposed for translation.

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.
