92:. I wrote something in it nearly 2 weeks ago but no one has taken any action about it. Maybe a small notice of some sort in the article page would make interested readers come and act on it? Maybe this would give readers the opportunity to see if a page they're reading has any issues on it and possibly involve them in the on-going discussion? Or maybe we don't really want readers to participate massively in such discussions and this would be a bad idea overall? A similar mechanism already exists on big wikis though where articles get notice templates notifying readers about the problems they might have, even though they're not usually related to talk page discussions. This would make use of that principle and extend it to be a native feature in all namespaces, not only the main one. -

122:) have talked about this problem, especially thinking about communities the size of sqwiki. An experienced editor will know how to provoke a response if something is important. Here, if it were important, you or I would go to a village pump, a WikiProject page, or a noticeboard. At smaller wikis, most communication might happen on

Actually what I'm thinking is neither of those suggestions (even though the phab task you mentioned looked really interesting). I was just picturing a system where each talk page discussion has a square box near it the tick of which marks it as resolved. If there are unresolved discussions/issues, a

Hello! I had an idea and thought about discussing it with you given your involvement in talk page discussions. Some time ago I've expressed the wish to introduce the "resolved/unresolved" feature in
DiscussionTools, or even summaries, things we already have at MediaWiki talk pages (they use Flow,

I think making the notice appear in the mainspace (reliably) would require this "meta-data" system to work. It could perhaps be faked with a bot, but cached versions would be outdated. (Perhaps it would work better if it displayed to logged-in users, since I have heard that those are a little

If you are thinking about a category-based system (i.e., add a template that puts the page in a "Category:Knowledge talk pages with unresolved questions"), then that might work, assuming that there were people interested in clearing that backlog. There would, however, be the difficulty of

notice comes on the homologue mainpage notifying each reader that the following discussions are still open and on-going on the talk page and their participation would be valuable (this notice copies all the titles of the unresolved discussions and links to them in a list format).

I managed to reproduce this on test.wikipedia.org where I disabled all of my gadgets. I also forgot to add a crucial detail that the bug happens on Chrome/Edge mobile when copying into the source editor for the reply tool.

pages. But an inexperienced editor won't know how to do that, and if nobody's watching the page, then the comment will get overlooked. I don't think that they ever came to a conclusion about how to solve the

no?). Now I'm extending that idea to incorporate a rather non-invasive notice of some sort in main pages accompanying talk pages if there are unresolved issues in them.

Automagically displaying the talk page situation in the mainspace would probably require a significant but feasible change to MediaWiki. I think that would require

Yeah, a bot could also help but it would be better if it was a native feature because small wikis tend to lack such infrastructures.

I agree with you. Even in the larger wikis, bots aren't a reliable long-term solution. Bot operators may leave or lose interest.
