Take suggestions to the logical next step

NoN Technically infeasible

  • Problem:
    Flagged Suggestion In Wikidata
    When a potential issue is flagged against a property within an entry (because a property constraint has been set), unless the remedy is "quick and easy" people are less likely to do anything about it
  • Who would benefit: The whole community as the quality of data gets better
  • Proposed solution: That the "potential issue" or suggestion box as well as the existing "help" and "discuss" has a link that (using the data set with that problem property) will offer values it can add to remedy the situation or using its "search formatted URL" send them to a page that will supply the required information

Discussion

  • After discussing this as a team, we concluded that it isn't feasible for the "potential issues" / suggestion box to recommend actual values. It unfortunately can't be generalized enough to infer what constraint needs fixing. For this reason we're going to archive this proposal.
