some jokers in the past thought it a good idea to remove a perfectly good disc id instead of finding out where it actually originated from
2008-06-25 17745, 2008

well, we don't have a rollback function, so you'd have to readd it
2008-06-25 17753, 2008

We should have some sort of "Heyall" feature in the system so that we could notify people about changes we're about to make.

I often see things that probably should be fixed but I have no exact information to do that. Just making a remove edit or something like that is a pretty ugly way to raise attention.

That's the case with disc ids, although with them it's likely to come back if it's correct.

you have to click the 'info' link and click 'edit url' from there

I think we may need a big(ger) notice on the editing pages that says *Your changes may not appear immediately. Most changes require a voting period before they will be visible.*

I keep seeing duplicate and triplicate edits where new editors try the same edit over and over. I try to be nice and warn them that their edits will fail when I can, but it gets old :)

nikki: The ones I'm looking at tend to have about 3 minutes in between dupes, which to me suggests an editor noticing that their changes didn't "stick" and trying it again.
the most important is that the quantities need to be in {}

Using Wikipedia as an example, they have all kinds of big bold warnings when you're editing a page. I'm not in the mood to start an RFC about it right now, but I wonder if anyone else thinks such a notice on the edit screen would help?
