The MediaWiki Stakeholders' User Group wants to improve MediaWiki and advocates
the needs of MediaWiki users outside Wikimedia Foundation-supported projects.
But who is using MediaWiki? In an effort to answer this question the MediaWiki
Stakeholders’ Group organized a survey during the summer of 2015 and asked
people using MediaWiki to respond. The result is a sampling of over 100
responses from people using MediaWiki around the world. The results were
interesting. Folks from all sorts of communities and industries use MediaWiki -
from organizations like NASA, The UK LGBT Archive, Society of Exploration
Geophysicists, and more.
Combined with some statistics we were able to obtain with help from individuals
at the WMF, and the results of the survey we have completed our MediaWiki Usage
Report for 2015 . This report provides insight into the various ways MediaWiki
is being used - How people upgrade, what extensions are their "must have's",
what they enjoy about the software, their concerns, and more. We encourage
those using MediaWiki to have a look and provide any feedback or thoughts.
If you'd like to know more about the MediaWiki Stakeholders' Group, or to get
involved, join us for one of our regular hangouts or leave a note on our talk
page . MediaWiki Wishlist
Combined with existing collaboration around request features and responses from
one particular survey question, "What would you like to see most improved in
MediaWiki the software?" we created a prioritized 'wishlist' of MediaWiki
features . Our next project is figuring out how to implement these requests.

There we shared preliminary results from the survey while we were still
collecting responses.
