Provide a free-text field for detailed feedback

Description

It has been suggested on several places[1] that the ArticleFeedback form needs to have a field which the reader can use to provide more detailed information about what needs to be improved or what is good in a page.

I thought this was already reported here on Bugzilla, but since it isn't, I'm opening this bug so this idea doesn't get lost on talk pages on MW.org, and the wiki projects were it is being used.

Could someone implement this kind of feature on AFT to make it more useful for editors?

[1] E.g.:


Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement
Whiteboard: wikimedia[unmaintained]

The extension homepage at [[mw:Extension:ArticleFeedback]] says
"This extension has been archived. This extension has not been maintained in some time, and no longer supports recent releases of MediaWiki.
The following other choices are still available: [[mw:Extension:ArticleFeedbackv5]]"

Furthermore, ArticleFeedback (version 4 or earlier) was removed from all Wikimedia wikis in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/98074/

It is currently unlikely that there will be any further active development of ArticleFeedback (version 4 or earlier).
Closing this report as WONTFIX to reflect reality.
Please feel free to reopen this report in the future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development of ArticleFeedback (version 4 or earlier) again.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
