Creation of WikiProject

Pinging all editors involved in proposal discussion: Sdrqaz, Z1720, P,TO 19104, Sphilbrick, WWB,Mary Gaulke, DGG. I have gone ahead and created this WikiProject. I've never set up a WikiProject before, so please let me know if I did anything wrong. We can continue the discussions we were having on the propsal page here. We should also advertise the WikiProject now that it has been created. Thanks, Sam-2727 (talk) 04:52, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently MaryGaulke had an extra space in their signature. Repinging with correct username. Sam-2727 (talk) 04:53, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Edit Request Wizard Reforms

One of the largely noncontroversial reforms I think would be welcome is a rewrite of the edit request wizard in javascript (so make it similar to the current file upload wizard). This would allow people to submit edit requests without having to learn wiki syntax. Of course, this would make follow-ups very difficult on the part of the submitter of the edit request, but hopefully once the reply functionality is implemented that will change.

I'm happy to work on this, but it will take me a while due to my limited understanding of javascript. Does anybody here have a decent understanding of javascript, in particular in the mediawiki environment? If not, no worries. Also let me know if you'd be interested in working on this rewrite in general and I'll be sure to include you on the discussions. Sam-2727 (talk) 04:58, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
