[Foundation-l] Feedback tab on the English Wikipedia

[Oliver Keyes]

Minata: I imagine the plan is "deploy on enwiki, and if other wikis ask for
it, they can have it too", but I'll find out :).

In reply to "It allows readers to provide feedback; that feedback is not
likely to
result in improvements except in rare cases" - actually, no. We ran several
rounds of hand-coding, and between 35-70 percent (rounding; it depends on
which form you use, and which criteria) of feedback is deemed useful by
editors. This could be praise for the article, suggestions for new things,
or notes of errors with existing content.
