The Dutch Wikipedia uses an extension to contact
"Wikipedia"
anonymously directly from the browser. See
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15624 and
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ContactPage.
IRC tells me that the response group is happy with the message flow so
far, and people using the form seem happy to use it as well, even
though it's also three clicks away from any article.
Sounds good. The current "Contact Wikipedia" page on en:wp is a sort
of webpage "wizard" interface that steers you from page to page. I
suspect this is less than optimal.
I expect with a general "Report a problem with this article" page,
we'll get lots of editorial issues - "there's a spelling error"
"you
deleted my band you suck" "your article shows your liberal bias" etc.
What's the proportion like? How do you deal with these?
