Emphasis on "edit"

Post #1 of 3 (735 views)

Many times we raised the issue that many (maybe majority of) users of
Wikimedia content don't realize that it is possible to edit pages on
Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects. Last time I was talking about
it a couple of days ago, during the conference in Belgrade, with a
Polish Wikimedian, Marcin Cieslak.

I was thinking about some big button "edit" on every page. And, by
accident, I realized now that Polish Wikinews emphasized their "edit"
button [1]. I think that this may be a good thing for the beginning
for all Wikimedian projects. Maybe, it should be even a default in
MonoBook skin on MediaWiki.

Yes. We did it also on Polish Wikipedia. But it won't change too much
:-) An interesting MediaWiki interface was developed by "Wolne
Podrêczniki" (free handbooks) project, where button "edit" is really
well visible:

Polish Wikipedia enabled the MediaWiki extension flagged revisions in this time: "edit" - 07.11.2008, flaggedrevs - 17.11.2008

we have 11k-12k edits per day, but also 2,5k-3k revisions
