See #41 on https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/2015_Community_Wishlist_Survey/Results for progress and status.
In general, this task itself is too unspecific for contributors and covers too many different things.

This task is part of the 2015 Community Wishlist.
As items on the 2015 wishlist can be reproposed for the 2016 Community Wishlist, I would like to point out that in 2016, "Proposals should be discrete, well-defined tasks" (this is a new requirement which will help everybody to have a clearer and shared understanding of what is exactly requested).
So if anybody plans to propose this 2015 wish again for 2016, please strongly consider rewriting this wish by following the 2016 guidelines - essentially, by adding more details, links, and examples to the description, so that editors and developers who are not very familiar with the area can more easily understand it all, and why the feature or bug fix is important, and how they can potentially help.
Thank you a lot!
