Wikipedia:Community feature requests/Mediawiki native user status tool


 * Problem: It is often difficult to know if a user is active and going to engage in discussion with you or help you out
 * Proposed solution: Introduce a native user status tool in Mediawiki. Optional, it could be set to "Extended break", "Active" etc.
 * Who would benefit: Community interactions
 * Category:Bots and gadgets
 * More comments:This can partially be achieved by Editor activity indicator
 * Phabricator tickets:
 * Status: Open

Discussion

 * There could be two features:
 * a drop down box with a status like "Active" (watching notifications, talkpage emails etc), "Busy" (with a reason like work in real life, cyclone etc), "Wikibreak", None (default).
 * A software detection of last seen. I think some chat programs use this. --Commander Keane (talk) 20:52, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
