Feedback & Proposals Guide

Feedback & Proposals

The wiki has two ways to suggest changes without editing a page directly: comments for quick feedback and proposals for suggesting content changes. Both are accessed from the Propose Change link in the Actions menu on any page.

Leaving a comment

Comments are a lightweight way to ask a question, flag an issue, or suggest an improvement without editing the page yourself.

1. Navigate to the page
2. Click Propose Change in the Actions menu
3. Write your comment in the Leave a Comment tab
4. Optionally provide your email address (if not signed in) so the editor can reply to you
5. Click Submit Comment

The page owner is notified by email. They can reply to your comment (you'll get an email notification if you provided one) and then resolve it when it's been addressed.

Proposing content changes

Proposals let you suggest specific edits to a page's title and content. The page owner sees a side-by-side diff of exactly what you changed.

1. Navigate to the page
2. Click Propose Change in the Actions menu
3. Switch to the Propose Changes tab
4. Edit the title and content in the Markdown editor
5. Write a change message explaining your proposed changes
6. Click Submit Proposal

If you're not signed in, you can optionally provide your email address so you'll be notified when the proposal is reviewed.

What happens next

• The page owner receives an email notification about the new comment or proposal
• A red badge appears on the page's Actions menu indicating pending feedback
• The item waits in a queue for review

The review queue

Editors and page owners have a unified review queue that collects all pending comments and proposals across every page they can edit. When you have pending items to review, a clipboard icon with a red dot appears in the header navigation.

Click it to see all pending items — comments are shown in blue and proposals in yellow. Each links to the detail view where you can take action.

Reviewing comments (for editors)

From the review queue or the page's Feedback link:

1. Click a comment to view it
2. Optionally write a reply — the commenter will be notified by email
3. Click Resolve to dismiss the comment once it's been addressed

Reviewing proposals (for editors)

From the review queue or the page's Feedback link:

1. Click a proposal to see a side-by-side diff comparing the current page content with the proposed changes
2. Accept — applies the changes to the page. This creates a new revision and notifies all subscribers.
3. Edit before accepting — toggle the editor to tweak the proposed title or content before applying it. This lets you fix minor issues without denying the whole proposal.
4. Deny — rejects the proposal. You must include a reason, which is sent to the proposer by email.

Who can leave feedback?

Anyone who can view a page can leave comments and propose changes:

• Signed-in users — use Propose Change in the Actions menu
• Anonymous visitors on public pages — use the Feedback button

Even editors and owners can propose changes when they want their edits to go through the review workflow rather than editing directly.

Tips

• Use comments for quick questions, typo reports, or suggestions that don't require a specific edit
• Use proposals when you know exactly what the content should look like
• Write clear change messages so reviewers understand what you changed and why
• Comments and proposals don't expire — they stay pending until reviewed
