Orphaned Articles [modified]
-
There's been a lot of discussion over the years about updating articles not written by yourself, taking over old articles, and collaborating to keep old articles relevant. I figured it would be good to discuss this here in order to have the most people contribute. What would you like to see if an article is "abandoned" and the author can no longer be contacted? 1. The ability to create a new superceding article and have a formal link mechanism back to the old. 2. The ability to edit the article while keeping the original author 3. The ability to add your name to the article and edit it from there 4. The ability to take over the article completely 5. ...? [Edit] No one wants the ability to jump on to an article and make updates directly to the article itself?? (ie #3 or #4)

You could flag an article as being 'abandoned' by using a different background color for the header.
