Search for mentions of feature requests or pain points that new features could address.

Build upon the current list: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_Stakeholders%27_Group/Tasks/Feature_wishlist. Indicate if there are similar requests and add the ones you find that are not yet mentioned.

The student will record the findings on a wiki page for review: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_Stakeholders%27_Group/Tasks/Feature_wishlist/NAME_OF_STUDENT
