Link To Maintainer

Pages age; their contents go out of date. Sometimes pages are wrong; even the best proofreaders make mistakes. How can you ensure your pages are accurate?

The answer to is to put your visitors to use. They will find errors you don't, as well as out-of-date material. (This is the Web site counterpart to Eric S. Raymond's observation "given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow".)

However, if you don't provide an easy way for visitors to notify you of problems, they won't.

Therefore, on every page, provides a link to the page's maintainer.

This link can take several forms: a mailto: link, a link to a page with an email form, or a link to a page with the maintainer's contact information.

Following Consistent Format, put this link in a standard place on all pages. It's an excellent candidate for a page's Standard Header And Footer.
