CategoryNeedsAttention

Maybe you found something on the wiki that needs some help. Great! Arguably, you should just go ahead and make the change. Be brave! Old revisions are saved, and stored in source control, so you can’t break anything. That said, maybe there are time pressures with daily life, or maybe you feel like you don’t have enough experience, or a host of other reasons. That’s where this category comes in.

If you flag a with CategoryNeedsAttention, that means another helpful visitor can get in there and fix the problem. Try to localize the portion of the wiki that needs attention, and put in a small explanation as to what exactly needs attention.

2. find the item where it says that this page “needs attention” and provide a reason
3. click the Submit button

If you provided “outdated lisp” as the reason, clicking the Submit button adds the following to the bottom of the page:
