Change the label of feedback link to 'Help improve this article >>' (Option B)
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

For the feedback link (Option B, at the top right), we would like to replace the word 'Feedback' with 'Help improve this article >>', to make it more visible and consistent. The current feedback label is not very noticeable (particularly when the fundraiser is going on.) It also doesn't match what we are saying at the top of the form ('Help improve this page')

For more info about this, check our feature requirements page for feedback links:

Here is an earlier mockup for how this feedback link might appear on a typical page (using the old 'Feedback' label):

Note that there are possible complications with this feedback link (Option B), as it conflicts with the geo-tags that also aim to appear in the same top right corner.

See separate bug 32840 to learn more:

As a result, we may launch phase 1.0 without this feedback link.

One possible alternative might be Option C, as proposed on bug 32854:
