Thanks to finally having some time to write code during the holiday slow-down, I put together a little feature prototype as a research project:
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/182082

The feature is just a simple interface for reporting errors on article pages (similar to what exists on the Spanish and Russian desktop Wikipedias). It adds a 'Report an error' button to the bottom of article pages. When they click the button it encourages them to fix the error themselves by editing the page. If they still want to submit the error, it gives them a text input for doing so. The error report is then posted on the article Talk Page, the overlay is closed, and the user is shown a toast notification thanking them for their feedback.

This is intended to be a lightwight form of microcontribution, but without all the extra overhead of ArticleFeedback and without the complexity of real talk pages (or Flow). Unfortunately, it can only be used if the user is allowed to edit, so it will be of limited value on non-Italian Wikipedias.

Try it out and let me know what you think.
