Things I want to be able to do on Wikipedia

Infobox Penetration by Category[edit]

Given a category, say: Churches in Brooklyn, or Synagogues in Manhattan I'd love to see a report that shows which of these articles contains an infobox and which do not.

What I really want to know is what infoboxes are used by these articles; and more:

In addition to the name of the Infobox, how about: First line of the Template

Number of fields used in each article; % of Fields used

better still: How about populating a spreadsheet with data from each infobox...sounds great, but Infoboxes are a disaster. Infoboxes are a mess.

The two infoboxes found on the first 15 synagogues are:

Neither of these are simple Infoboxes, in fact the Religious Building infobox contains a notice: This template employs intricate features of template syntax.

Simplifying Infoboxes...this should be simple; right? Sure.

Find Articles Geographically[edit]

Given a geographic area I want to see what articles lie within that region.

I'd like to be able to specify the area in a number of ways:

  • Google Earth
  • Open Street Maps
  • Google Maps, Bing Maps, etc.
  • ARC Tools
  • QGis and similar tools

from a list of predefined areas, viz.,

  • Country
  • State
  • Metro Area
  • City
  • Postal Code
  • Telephone Code
  • Congressional District and Equiv.
  • State & Local political boundaries
    • State Senate
    • State Legislature
    • City Council Districts
    • School Districts
    • Sewar Districts
    • Police, Fire, etc.
    • Community Board(s)
    • and more
    • in fact any area described by a shape file.

How does Photos Requested in Manhattan work?[edit]

I mean how does this category map the locations flagged with this template: {{Image requested|in=Manhattan}}

Geo Output[edit]

Given a boundary(ies) what's the output?

  • A wikibook
  • a user category--is there such a thing?
  • a user subpage that's a list of the articles matching the query.

Search Commons Images by ...[edit]

Dimensions[edit]

  • Height
  • Width
  • Long Side/Short Side

File Size[edit]

  • Bytes...

although this is kinda meaningless as it can easily be shrunk; it might even be inflated.

Color or B&W[edit]

  • How about number of colors?
  • Palette Fit?

EXIF Data[edit]

  • Has some
  • Has none
  • display it..all of it
  • and be able to search all of it.

IPTC[edit]

ditto


Undo Last Edit in Evernote[edit]

Why is Evernote so stoopid (yes, I mean stupid) when it comes to undo?
