Community Tech

Community Tech manages the Community Wishlist, a forum for contributors from all Wikimedia projects to suggest and comment on product and technology changes and improvements.

We leverage the Wishlist to collaborate with editors, volunteer developers, and other Wikimedia teams to turn community-identified needs into real solutions, and work on priority wishes.

On May 20, 2026, Community Tech becomes a program. Please visit the Community Wishlist to discover the new format.

🛠️ How We Work

We are a small team with limited resources, and balance our efforts across three categories:

Building tooling to advance the Community Wishlist
Maintenance of existing tools and features supported by the Community Tech team
Delivering on wishes, primarily by adopting Focus Areas supported by volunteers.

When we say "no" to a given request, we are merely stating it goes against our current priorities.

When working and communicating with us:

Please be calm, civil, and assume we’re working in good faith.
We aim to respond promptly but can't guarantee immediate replies.
Sometimes, we may need to close a conversation if it takes too much of our time or attention.
We can not handle projects on another team's roadmap or ones that conflict with their work, but we will direct you to the right person when possible.
We can not discuss staffing or confidential issues.

Current selected projects

Community Tech is currently wrapping up carry-over work from the 2023 Wishlist. Beginning in 2024-25, the team will adopt community-supported Focus Areas via the new Community Wishlist.
