Description Sascha 2010-03-03 17:42:13 UTC
Actually I dont want to report a bug, I only want to state a suggestion concerning the layout of each wikipedia article. So maybe I have two suggestions now :) 

1) Can you just implement a "contact us"-section where you can simply write an email for new ideas that may improve Wikipedia's user-friendly design?

2) Today I was reading about a brief article (Touchdown-PCR). I realized that I understood the basic principle, but there were still some open questions to what the author(s) wrote. Is there a possibility to implement a kind of blank panel at the bottom of each page for exactly such "open questions"? So that the reader may ask questions that can be later included in the article to optimize it "on demand" lets say.

I would really appreciate such a feature!

Thanks in advance,

Sascha Nicklisch

PS: Sorry for any mistakes, I am German :)

Hi. This isn't really the right place for this. For concern 2, the appropriate place would be [[talk:Touchdown polymerase chain reaction]]. Each article has an associated talk page where discussion about the development of an article can take place (look for the discussion tab at the top of the page).

For concern 1 - there is a contact us page - [[Wikipedia:Contact us]]. In general if you have a specific usability improvement request, its best to file a bug about it if you have a specific request in mind (bugs are not just for bugs, but also for enhancement requests) or perhaps start a section on [[Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)]]. If you have a concern about the contents of an article, [[Wikipedia:Contact_us/Article_problem]] has information what to do.



I'm inclined to close this as invalid, as there is nothing really here that requires developer work. Concern 1 is more or less already taken care of by having a village pump type pages, and concern 2 is really not a bugzilla issue.
