Allow visitors to create a suggested edit on the Wiki

Problem to solve

Currently, if a visitor to a project views the Wiki and notices an issue or wants to change something because they know of a better way, they have to separately open an issue in the project and essentially copy and paste their suggestion.

This would allow visitors to suggest an edit and essentially create a merge-request for the wiki.

Intended users

  • Visitors to the project with suggestions to make on wiki pages.
  • Project maintainers, less work for them.

Further details

This would make the wiki much more useful and more true to form. A wiki is supposed to be editable by all, not just those that run the project.

Proposal

Add a button to each page called suggest an edit which the user can click and enter a standard edit field.

Permissions and Security

Depending on the project's settings, anyone should be able to access this button. They're only making a suggestion, after all.

It should be toggle-able, for instance if the project owner doesn't want suggestions.
