| 11 | B | 1 | This theme, if developed in accordance with transparency can allow Wikimedia projects and wikimedians to evolve while remaining relevant. Lamiot | up-to-date |
| 12 | B | 1 | The tools and models of improvement of our wikis will themselves be open-source and therefore potentially reusable by other users of internet. Lamiot | re-usability |
| 13 | B | 3 | Ensure that the projects keeps their humanized aspect, at the service of its users, and not robotized and automated to excess. Lamiot | humanization |
| 14 | B | 2 | This theme can be transversal to others, in the sense that it can accelerate their implementation, but it must have its own ethical safeguards. Lamiot | accelerator |
| 15 | B | 3 | If the community organizes and continues to grow, it seems possible to move forward simultaneously on all these major themes. Lamiot | complementary |
| 16 | B | 4 | Integrate automatic and easy-to-use means to ensure transparency and neutrality of content. Lamiot | anti-vandalism |
| 17 | B | 4 | Ensure that the "augmented" aspect does provoke an enormous consumption of electricity. Lamiot | sustainable technology |

| 19 | A | 4 | Ensure that wikis projects are accessible to everyone regardless of wealth and location. Lamiot | equal accessibility |
| 20 | B | 5 | Academics and educational communityː we could collaborate on designing, prototyping, testing solutions, etc. Lamiot | academics |
| 21 | C | 1 | We will be much better implanted in the third world, where education is not well developed. CreativeC38 | internationalization |
| 22 | C | 5 | We need to teach NGOs how to access, use our resources and enrich them in their local languages.CreativeC38 | NGOs partners |
| 23 | D | 4 | Being the most respective source of knowledge seems enough. Aiming for more is risky and hardly achievable since we will always face detractors and eventually make mistakes. Fuucx | consistency |
| 24 | D | 1 | Effective impact requires a strong support and emphasis on projects other than Wikipedia, for example Wikiversity which remains a vast parcel unexplored. TgH | sister projects |
| 25 | D | 2 | It is important put a strong emphasis on credibility of our information in order to preserve projects against communication and political propaganda. Alexfouch | credibility |
| 26 | D | 2 | Relevancy and credibility of information is the key to the success of Wikipedia and its sister projects. Alexfouch | credibility |
| 27 | D | 2 | This theme is complementary to others for what can be done if we are not reliable? Fuucx | complementary |
| 28 | D | 3 | We will have to put an end to translations made by users who do not master the languages or the subjects their edit as they repulse people in need of quality. TigH | poor translations |
| 29 | D | 4 | Contributing should be the coolest thing you do at least once in your life. It is therefore necessary to open other possibilities for people to share knowledge ː genealogy, tutorial, etc. Trizek | forms of contribution |
| 30 | D | 5 | The millions of teachers around the world who use Wikipedia for practical purposes, we could perhaps tell them that there is more than just the encyclopedia but also the sister projects. TigH | teachers |
| 31 | D | 5 | Researchers too. Allow them individually to use the Wikiverse as a kind of cloud for them. This would bring fresh sets of knowlege. TigH | researchers |
| 32 | C | 4 | Broaden the dissemination of knowledge to low awareness regions in order to make knowledge and make it accessible worldwide. Zaxiphyvaxe | low awareness region |

| 38 | E | 4 | Modesty, wisdom and patience.TigH | values |
| 39 | E | 5 | Including Wikimedia in the broader knowledge ecosystem requires above all a legitimization, legitimization in substance by demonstrating more reliable information, and legitimization in form by bringing the institutional actors to acknowledge the skills acquired when contributing to Wikimedia. Pilou Tgy | legitimization |
| 40 | B | 1 | Wikipedia will no longer be an important source of information in the future and will eventually disappear. Algorithms will be able to synthesize in real time information from a llarge number of structured or non structured sources in a reliable and neutral way. Jean trans h+ | automation |
| 41 | B | 1 | This is an important theme as compared to the others, especially regarding our goals in terms of extension of users, contributors or simple readers. Olimparis | contribrutors |
| 42 | B | 2 | This is the most important theme as it threatens the existence of Wikipedia. Jean trans h+ | consistency |
| 43 | B | 5 | Applications designers and developpers. Olimparis | developers |
| 44 | A | 2 | It is essential to ensure a neutral representation of all points of view. Nattes à chat | neutrality |
| 45 | A | 2 | This is an important way to achieve our goals of neutrality and expression of diversity of views. Olimparis | diversity |
| 46 | E | 5 | Wikipedia can not substitute for a higher university education just as one can not compare courses made by renown specialists and neophytes full of good will. Fagairolles 34 | specialists |
| 47 | E | 1 | More outreach, a better understanding of academic, journalistic, etc., better recruitment. Tpe.g5.stan | outreach |
| 48 | E | 5 | If we could get involved in the knowledge ecosystem, it would allow us to build a relationship between Wikimedia projects and what should make Wikimedia projects easier to understand, but also to attract new contributors. Tpe.g5.stan | outreach |
| 49 | A | 3 | Reconsider the secondary sources dogma in order to make room for non-secondary sources. As for now, there are several communities where secondary sources are non-existent. Touam | secondary sources |
| 50 | A | 3 | The process of accepting articles should be revised and made more democratic so as in contentious cases discussions should be handled by specialist contributors (Domi1789). However anyone could self-nominate specialist on any topic (Touam). | articles review |
| 51 | A | 3 | Wikipedia does too much of instantaneity, similarly to social networks, as shows articles related to recent terrorist attacks where sources are not sought for thoroughly. Domi1789 | instantaneity |
| 52 | A | 3 | We look like social networks "articles" created about the small world of show bizz, TV, singers, footballers, etc. Is this the encyclopedia we want? Domi1789 | quality |
| 53 | A | 3 | I am wary of the "progress" brought by computers and automation. Domi1789 | automation |
| 54 | A | 4 | It would be appropriate, I think, to target the groups of people who are underrepresented within the contributors community and decide where actions need to be taken. Olimparis | survey |
| 55 | A | 4 | In my opinion inclusion necessarily implies to improve the design of the site. The current look is not bad, but its look is tailored for a typical Western male audience. Touam | design |
| 56 | A | 5 | Institutions and associations working in the fields of diversity and equality. Nattes à chat | partners |
| 57 | A | 5 | Individuals like Sheryl Sandberg, public institutions as Ministry of Human Rights, research and training institutions. Nattes à chat | partners |
| 58 | A | 5 | Linguists specializing in non-sexist or inclusive language, Amnesty, SOS racism. Nattes à chat | partners |
| 59 | A | 5 | Organizations proposing mediation training, organizations offering non-violent communication training, civil society organizations: Nuit débout, Occupy. Nattes à chat | partners |
| 60 | A | 5 | Create thematic debates and conferences and then set up working groups to exchange effective anti-harassment practices and build an environment of debate and non-violent communication.Nattes à chat | non-violent discussion |
| 61 | A | 4 | We have to put an end to what makes our communities unhealthy: vandalism, which forces our patrollers to perform an exhausting work, a work of Sisyphus. Anglo-norman | counter-vandalism |
| 62 | A | 4 | We should restrict access only to registered contributors, whose administrators have contact information, and if they engage in vandalism, can be suspended or excluded (Anglo-norman) [...] I do not share the idea of restricting Wikipedia to registered users only as assuming good faith seems to me an important pillar of inclusiveness. Nattes à chat | counter-vandalism |
| 63 | A | 4 | A first step can consist in communicating around vandalism, even contacting former known vandals and expose what led them to change. Nattes à chat | counter-vandalism |
| 64 | A | 4 | Against vandalism, it may be necessary to train patrollers and recruit more, have a patrol exercise included in the wikiMOOC curriculum? Nattes à chat | counter-vandalism |
| 65 | A | 4 | Take into account childcare costs in the budget of our events, just like the Art+Feminism campaign did, will allow more women to join us. Nattes à chat | childcare |
| 66 | A | 4 | Safe places for women : consider learning spaces reserved for women where they can make their first steps and master the basics of contributing before embarking on the discussion with a community which is sometimes unconsciously aggressive. Nattes à chat | safe place |
| 67 | A | 4 | We need to ensure the protection of those who take risks to report what is wrong about society (ex: whistleblowers). Nattes à chat | safety |
| 68 | D | 4 | Wikipedia must succeed in convincing these people, the complotists to name them, of the relevance of its content and the processes of its elaboration. Failing to do that will leave a growing part of skeptics who are sooner or later likely to harm us (Euloiix). However a conspiracy theories supporter is appallingly difficult to convince. He is an irrational believer (Cedalyon) | skepticism |
| 69 | D | 4 | Wikipedia is as simply an encyclopedia would benefit greatly from being coupled with an efficient and lively educational system. Cedalyon | partners |
| 70 | D | 5 | Empowering Wikiversity can surely increase the visibility and seriousness of the movement as a whole. Cedalyon | wikiversity |
| 71 | D | 4 | Perhaps it would be necessary to encourage seasoned and specialist contributors to engage in Wikiversity. Cedalyon | wikiversity |
| 72 | D | 4 | Interested contributors, if they benefit from a certain mentorship can produce adapted and quality pedagogical contents on Wikiversity. Cedalyon | education content |
