Something that I noticed which could be of aid to users is a button or feature that allows the common user to send a feedback message to the page/site's owner/admins to request a change in page's content. For instance, say a wiki about some historical event or time period was found to contain a factual error. Such a button (perhaps placed at the bottom of the page with the rest of the buttons) would allow the user who found the factual error to send a message with a brief description of the problem to the site's owner/admin. The owner/admin would see the request for a change on the page and would then decide whether or not the concern is valid and what to do about it.
I recognise that there is already a way to comment on a page. Not every page allows comments, though. And a page change request would go straight to the admin (perhaps in a specifically assigned inbox or through some sort of notification system). Plus, page change requests would not be public, or discussable with the public like forums and comments are, thus allowing them to remain solely between the admin and the user who requested the change.
Could something like this be done?
And why not use the Private Messaging system?
There are some possible solutions already available - but only if the admins are willing to offer:
'* The mail-form on a contact page - send a mail (!) to all admins to their unknown (private) Mail adress…
* sometimes this is implemented on the contact form.
What you ask for is more a general "contact form" implemented by wikidot to reach the admins…
Not if I would want this on my sites….

Hey Shawn,
I'd strongly suggest that you look at the MailForm module. I think this can give you what you need, without having to wait for some new feature to be implemented :)
Let us know if you need help with that… although it'd probably be better to move this discussion to somewhere on the community forum instead.
