Hello! I had an idea and thought about discussing it with you given your involvement in talk page discussions. Some time ago I've expressed the wish to introduce the "resolved/unresolved" feature in DiscussionTools, or even summaries, things we already have at MediaWiki talk pages (they use Flow, no?). Now I'm extending that idea to incorporate a rather non-invasive notice of some sort in main pages accompanying talk pages if there are unresolved issues in them.
For a simple example, check this page. I wrote something in it nearly 2 weeks ago but no one has taken any action about it. Maybe a small notice of some sort in the article page would make interested readers come and act on it? Maybe this would give readers the opportunity to see if a page they're reading has any issues on it and possibly involve them in the on-going discussion? Or maybe we don't really want readers to participate massively in such discussions and this would be a bad idea overall? A similar mechanism already exists on big wikis though where articles get notice templates notifying readers about the problems they might have, even though they're not usually related to talk page discussions. This would make use of that principle and extend it to be a native feature in all namespaces, not only the main one. - Klein Muçi ( talk) 14:35, 5 August 2023 (UTC)

pages. But an inexperienced editor won't know how to do that, and if nobody's watching the page, then the comment will get overlooked. I don't think that they ever came to a conclusion about how to solve the problem.The Tireless Contributor Barnstar | |
