Feature request: option to mark a wiki article as current / outdated

**iphoneclub** · August 1, 2010

I'd like to poll fellow VaultWiki users for a feature request which I think could be very useful. I'd like to see two (small) buttons in every wiki article named 'Works' (or 'Current) and 'Invalid' (or 'Outdated'), preferably translatable. After X claims for 'Invalid' an email is sent to the webmaster (or a special thread is created) asking to revisit the article or ask user input.

I know feature request go in Project Tools, but I would love to other opinions first before pegasus might start working on this.

This is a version of users being able to provide feedback about wiki articles. Seems like some AJAX code would be used here.
Making this more generic than the the very specific example used here might help people understand how it would work on their wiki.

I dont want any emails about outdated wikis. That doesnt work on a large active site.
I do think it would be useful to classify wiki articles as a stub, in progress, or complete. Or something along those lines.

If members find an article is outdated, they can post that in the discussion. So they or other users can work on that. Can you explain why it would be useful to have a 'mark as outdated' function?

It sounds like this is something that you can do easily using wiki categories. Add an outdated page to a Category called "Outdated". In a future build we'll be adding subscriptions to categories, so users who want to can opt to keep track of new entries in the category via email.
