a robust, reliable, and open knowledge repository, with a focus on written knowledge and supporting media / open data projects should co-exist alongside Wikidata and open software projects should continue to make their mark outside of the Wikimedia umbrella / I am particularly interested in the WikiCite bibliographic database project being prioritized | One key missing element is the WikiCite bibliographic database | bibliographic database, wikicite | editor, donor |

You're looking much too far ahead. We have no concept of what technology will look like in 15 years. A five-year vision or a ten-year vision and a five-year plan would be much more realistic. | Wikimedia is free information-sharing. | free, information, sharing | editor, |
A wikipedia where quality writers are paid for their work. | editor, donor, | ||

A true movement, a true community of communities, a radically decentralized network of entities, and empowered individual contributors inside, and outside cultural heritage institutions like GLAMs and knowledge sharing institution like education, co-creating content and cooperating in a social network of relations allowing them to develop the projects, fellow contributors, and themselves towards self-realization, and agents of change in the global society helping to achieve the eradication of hunger, poverty, and war, and the emergence of a prosperous, and sustainable future for all. | We should have an impactful chapter in each and every country accountable for a thriving community within the country including recruitment and selection of volunteers, including training and certification of all contributors to assure all editors behave respectful and maintain a welcoming culture. | chapter, community, training | editor, |

In next 15 years, I want Sindhi editions of Wikipedia and Wiktionary to be among the top wikis. I also wish every project of Wikimedia has a Sindhi version in coming years. Beside this, I want to make a user group of active Sindhi Wikimedians, that do not only contribute to different projects but also organize and participate in national and international events of Wikimedia Foundation. Moreover, I would like to be in partnership with different organizations and institutes for achieving the said goals. | Theme statement: Let's build the biggest knowledge base of Sindhi language. | Build, Knowledge | editor, |
All the world's knowledge, free and accessible to all people, organizations and algorithms. | We should deploy machine learning and deep learning algorithms to every aspect of Wikimedia activity. | machine learning, deep learning, automation | editor, donor, |
We need to integrate Wikidata more closely with the Wikipedias and other Wikimedia projects. Closer integration with Wikidata helps the smaller projects with fewer resources and fewer editors who want to or are able to work on the technical aspects of their projects. In fact, it would be a good idea to centralise all the more difficult technical stuff on (say) Meta so that editors and the smaller projects can concentrate on writing. It would be wonderful to have infoboxes generated from Wikidata across as many projects as possible.
Wikidata, and Wikidata-related tools with attractive interfaces such as Reasonator, WikiShootMe and Crotos, are much the most effective way of achieving our goal of storing the sum of all human knowledge. |
Do more with Wikidata! | Infoboxes, Wikidata | editor, |
Bring core articles to "Good"" standard | The WMF should make an effort to attract people with expert knowledge of subjects dealt in WP's articles so that core [=high visibility] articles reach the "Good article" standard. | Quality, Expertise, Civilty | editor, |

The continued coverage of human knowledge in a free manner for the general public, while ensuring the reliability and constant improvement of the quality of information accessibility (various visual, visual and other illustrations). | The movement must ensure the reliability of the information, while creating an information quality standard (rating according to the number of sources and backing of the information by recognized institutions) and transparency of its sources. | Reliability, transparency | anon-editor, |
I believe you will be striving for a wider spread of Russian patriotism in Ukraine. | I think you would need to overview your ukrainian team as it is currently lead by Russian patriots, who persue distortion and distruction of Ukrainian language and it's culture. | distruction, Ukrainian, language, culture | editor, |

A giant repository of knowledge, a movement that makes oppressive governments afraid of blocking that knowledge and a broad enough contributor base that "oh you actually edit that thing?" becomes an antiquated reaction. | Being an agent of change | Controversy, relevance, WP:BOLD | editor, donor, |

Wikipedia as a strong open education tool that is supported by latest technology | Open and Border less Knowledge | education | editor, |
We must resist all efforts to make knowledge obscure, "non-heretical", or inaccessible as the Real Life 'Ministry of Truth' takes its many shapes from out of religious and political power blocs. (Islam and Climate Change Denial, I am looking at you, here, though you are not alone.) This is going to be crucial over the next 15 years. The time is cycling around again to where governments, both secular and theocratic, will decide or are deciding (or trying to) what is true _by law_, without regard for observation, reproducibility of results, or the basic human right to point out that "the Emperor is Naked". The Wiki movements have to be ready for fatwas, injunctions, inquisitions, and worse. I'm putting this first because without editors and contributors staying alive and out of jail, there is no Wiki-anything.
After self-defense comes progress toward inclusion (of women, the majority-minority, especially-- I cite the shameful treatment of [specific female editor] by fellow Wikipedians in support of the idea that we have *very* far to go in this regard). Many other goals we might adopt, many specifics of what we can and should want to build or achieve together, will come forth naturally from a user/contributor base that does not or IS NOT ALLOWED to run the girls off. Stop running the girls off or scaring them into silence and inactivity and in the next 15 years they will surprise you beyond your dreams. Keep on the way you've been going and in 15 years I'll still be submitting anonymous input and just not editing very often except to correct obvious typos. |
Defend and Include: Unfortunately, I see the major challenges of "continuing to exist" and of "being something other than a boys' clubhouse or an organ of Church&State" as being the work of the next 15 crucial years for Wikimedia. Survival as a meaningful organisation depends on this. | self-defense, inclusion | editor, donor, |
For Indian conditions, one has to be practical and cater to the needs of people living in this country. | The Citations asked by the authorities can be of different pattern, surely not the European type. | Citations for everything. | editor, |

Many answers are going to focus on building and accessibility of knowledge. Obviously, that is key to Wikipedia. At the same time, I think that Wikipedia needs to look at risks to its existence. Wikipedia can exist because of the current structure of the internet. We can't trust that this will remain the same. How can Wikimedia/Wikipedia sway technical accessibility on a global scale, to reduce the risk of this beautiful creation going the way of the library at Alexandria? | Existential threats to Wikipedia | Internet stability, government intervention, net neutrality, existential threats, risk | donor, |
