Please provide all the following information:

• Context. Provide a short paragraph with some background context for your request, please include links to relevant material.
  • As part of delivering on the Wishlist focus area Make it easier for patrollers and other editors to prioritize tasks, Community-Tech is implementing Watchlist labels (Watchlist-Labels), with a tentative MVP release planned for January 2026.
  • We have prioritized a new key result in the Contributor Experiences objective to house this work, WE1.6 Task prioritization: By the end of Q3, watchlist users can more easily organize their work and act more effectively on taking patrolling or editing action, as measured by qualitative feedback.
  • See also: Research findings for Watchlist and Task Prioritization by @dchen

• Description.What is your request about?
  • Since we are using qualitative feedback to measure our success on WE1.6 when it closes at the end of March 2026, we are hoping this could be driven by Design Research in partnership with the KR owner (@Cparle) and hypothesis owner (@KSiebert).
  • In our 24 Nov office hour, @dchen suggested that task prioritization/watchlist could also incorporated into continuous research.

• Expected Deliverable. What is the ideal outcome or result of your request?
  • A document containing a synthesis of qualitative feedback from watchlist users after CommTech has released the watchlist labels feature, so that we can understand whether or not they can more easily organize their work and act more effectively on taking patrolling or editing action.

• Estimated Effort. Please provide an estimate of the amount of work needed to complete this task, if known.
  • TBD

• Priority Please indicate a priority of your task and a small description of what it would unlock for you. We ask you to leave this task as “needs triage” since your request will go through a Backlog refinement process where our team will prioritize the work.
  • This will be a primary input in our KR scoring for WE1.6 in early April 2026, so would classify it as high priority.

I need this task resolved in:

• 1 month.
• 3 months.
• 6 months.
• Whenever you get to it :-)

• Other. Do you have any other questions or comments ?
  • If this work is prioritized by Design Research, would you need help from CommTech and/or Moderator Tools to find a list of users to reach out to?
