Community Wishlist: Let’s discuss how to improve template discovery and reuse
[edit]Hello everyone,
The new Community Wishlist now has a focus area named Template recall and discovery. This focus area contains popular wishes gathered from previous Wishlist editions:
- Wish #1: Quickly add infobox – an easier way for newer editors to find and insert common templates such as infoboxes.
- Wish #2: Quickly add favorite and related templates – a way to show recently used templates and favorited templates for frequent template use.
- Wish #3: Select templates by categories – a way to find templates by "type".
- Wish #4: Easy access templates – help users configure the Template dialog to show common and favorite templates.
We have shared on the focus area page how are seeing this problem, and approaching it. We also have some design mockups to show you.
We are inviting you all to discuss, hopefully support (or let us know what to improve) about the focus area. You can leave your feedback on the talkpage of the focus area.

Is there an automated tool that can scan an article's links and mark those necessary as dead?

Links to Wikidata
[edit]Hi there. I see many new articles in the English Wikipedia which are not then properly linked to the corresponding Wikidata item. It's a pity, because there's relevant data in that other project, but also because that's they way to get links to other editions of Wikipedia and to other projects within Wikimedia. Would it be possible to get a list of pages in this Wikipedia with no links to Wikidata? Thanks in advance, Alavense (talk) 11:06, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Be aware that there is significant resistance to linking Wikidata in the English version of Wikipedia. Check the archives here and at the other village pumps for the discussions about that (there have been many). Blueboar (talk) 11:26, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Well, not for this type of linking, which is adding a link to an enwiki article on Wikidata, not the other way around. These can be found at Category:Articles without Wikidata item, currently 157 items. Fram (talk) 11:36, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Ah… yes… true. Linking to WP at Wikidata is fine. Sorry if I misunderstood the intent. Blueboar (talk) 12:24, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry if I didn't make myself clear, but that's what I was looking for. Thanks, Blueboar and Fram. Kind regards, Alavense (talk) 13:31, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
