What’s the point of expressing a wish as instructed, when it stays as a draft?
Hi @shoved , you can read about how Wishlist is processed here:
(Before starting here, do you know How this Wishlist works ? )
This is how you draft a good wish.
One wish at a time. Don’t mix multiple wishes. You can submit as many wishes as you want.
Aim for a self-explanatory title.
Follow the template provided.
Use plain English and be concise.
You are drafting a community wish, not a personal wish. Refer to the user and not to yourself. Use neutral descriptions, not rants.
Focus on what you wish to achieve, not on how to implement your wish.
