<pre wrap="">Also, I think if a common user could flag a handbook as "needs updated",
it would come in use. Before I was a maintainer, I viewed handfuls of
handbook pages that needed updated, but I didn't know who to notify. It
would be useful to have a link for "needs updated", or something
similar, so that maintainers could be notified. All flagged handbook
pages would be compiled into a page, sorted by number of flags.

This sounds great to me as well. We have the "suggest documentation
improvements" link in the bottom of the left sidebar along with a
couple other things. I'd prefer seeing that in the content area just
under each handbook page and above any comments. That's the place
where people will be thinking about it and might act on it. The
bottom of the left sidebar is a place where, even after viewing
hundreds of handbook pages, I didn't know it existed</pre>

I think this is an absolutely great idea! And while something similar
exists, I think the fact that it sends you to the issues page would
either be too confusing, or seems like too much work--like you'd have
to point out what needs to be updated and what it should be updated to,
if you know what I mean.<br>
<br>
How about this? There is a simple "Add page to update queue" link (with
better wording) at the location you noted, Greg, that when click
automatically adds an issue to our Issues page with simply a link to
the handbook page and a little text saying "such and such a user
submitted this handbook page for updates."<br>
<br>
I, too, would be more willing to act upon old information if this kind
of a system existed.<br>
