Community Wishlist Survey 2022/Translation/Articles that urgently need to be written

Random proposal ►◄ Translation The survey has concluded. Here are the results!

Articles that urgently need to be written

Problem: So far there is no tool to show fast and easy which articles urgently should to be written.
Proposed solution: Under discussion ideas for a possible tool have been exchanged. The tool could bring together internationally most-clicked articles (with many Interwikis) that don't exist in your own language. Alternatively also with sorting options in different categories.
Who would benefit: Everyone that writes articles (I am one of them :D) and wants to help to make Wikipedia more connected and complete
More comments: Happily at the moment there is this project: "Frauen in Rot" – which is great, but it would be fantastic if one could do the same additionally for other categories, as mentioned, also for internationally known articles

Könntest du weiter beschreiben wie dieses Tool funktionieren würde? Findet es automatisch Artikel, deren Übersetzung fehlt? Oder geben Editoren Artikelwünsche ab? Diese Infos können uns helfen, um herauszufinden, ob sich dieser Wunsch umsetzen lässt. KSiebert (WMF) (talk) 10:44, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@SpeckbaronDerZweite: Wir sind gespannt auf Deine Antwort. KSiebert (WMF) (talk) 11:25, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hallo @KSiebert (WMF),

vielen Dank für euer Interesse. Genau, ich stelle mir das wie eine nach Relevanzkriterien sortierte Rangliste vor und zusätzlich dazu bestimmte Bereiche wie zum Beispiel das "Frauen in Rot". Relevanzkriterien könnten zum Beispiel durchschnittliche Artikelgröße, Klick- und Editierrate oder Anzahl der Interwikis sein. Artikel, für die es keine deutschsprachigen Artikel braucht, weil sich die Inhalte bereits in entsprechenden Hauptartikeln wiederfinden, könnten aus dieser Liste herausgefischt werden (kleiner Redundanzvermerk, kleines Ausrufungszeichen oder dergleichen durch die Nutzer) – auch diese Artikel sind dann aber nicht unwichtig, man könnte damit dann auch explizit schauen, ob es nicht vielleicht doch sinnig ist, da beim ein oder anderen Artikel der internationalen Mehrheit zu folgen und zum Beispiel zwei Artikel draus zu machen. Toll wäre, wenn es für die Rangliste eine Art Filter gäbe: das können dieselben Kriterien sein wie oben genannt, nur dass sie dann eben nicht in Form eines 'Relevanz'-Kriteriums zusammengeführt sind. Es könnte dann auch als Filteroption möglich sein, besagte, eventuell redundante Artikel, die bereits als solche markiert sind, herauszufiltern, sodass man sicher sein kann: das was ich hier vor mir sehe, das wird wirklich gebraucht, um die Wikipedia vollständiger zu machen, ich kann gleich starten und loslegen mit dem ersten bzw. obersten Artikel in der Liste. (Um das zu unterstützen könnte es dazu auch eine einfache Upvote-Funktion geben. Nutzer könnten sich durch die Liste klicken und Artikeln, die sie gerne geschrieben sehen würden, mit einem Upvote nach oben in die Liste klicken und damit den Relevanz-Algorithmus füttern.

Und wenn du mich fragst, dürfte das liebend gerne auf der Starseite als so ein Mitmach/Get started/Losleg-Button zur Verfügung stehen und Leute motivieren, etwas Wichtiges zu tun.

Liebe Grüße

Oppose: it seems that volunteers could write such a tool already, and our few wishes in the Wishlist are better suited to WMF-only projects. — Bilorv (talk) 20:32, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose What "should" be written is entirely subjective. WMF projects are contributed to by volunteers based on their interests and (hopefully) subject matter expertise. So, write about what interests you and what you're knowledgeable about. Silver hr (talk) 19:20, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose This doesn't seem like a good idea. I support the previous comment that this is volunteering. Users translate pages based on their interests, so I consider this proposal incompatible with the rules. --MarieVirtuElle (talk) 02:12, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support value-added to this proposal: languages like Uyghur or ones in Myanmar spoken by communities under pressures of major languages or genocide should be given special support to grow the wikipages in those languages. Gpwitteveen (talk) 21:41, 7 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
