Template:Tasks
Following some recent discussion on irc, I've attempted an upgrade of template tasks. The problem is that newcomers apparently fail to realize the collaboration page is there at all. Experienced Wikinewsies don't, I think, even read the list of items on the tasks notice, they just go directly to the review template; but lately I've observed distinctly better results from leaving a note on the author's user talk page with a pointer to the review comments, and I don't think that's all because of the "personal touch" (though the personal touch is good too).

If we really want it to produce a visible list based on the other flags, it could. --Pi zero (talk) 17:53, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
