It would be great if on every page, we had a "call button" which anyone could press in order to ask a more experienced user to look at and edit the page.

How it would work

  • The button appears on every page and can be in one of two states, "pressed" or "unpressed"
  • Anyone logged in user can press the button
    • Once pressed, "[[Category:NeedsAttention]]" would be added to the page
  • It remained depressed until the page is edited and the NeedsAttention category removed
    • Upon doing so an e-mail or talk page comment is sent to the person who requested the page be updated
    • We might also send out an e-mail to the website owner

Use Cases

  • Someone would just like to see what we can do to improve a basic bot scrape
  • Inappropriate content is reported
  • Experienced users can respond to CallButton requests
