minimum contribution level for most positive reviews

When it comes to the 'view by most positive' filter in an individuals profile...

Vote on one or two pros and your most positive reviews are clogged and note reflective of what you truly like the most. Perhaps a high minimum (of say 10 pros/cons) should be in order. This way a user has to vote *a lot* in favour to get this up there, also means there won't be lots of 100s, but rather many in the 80s and 90s for those truly digging a specific product.

If you build it they will come. Hopefully.

Yale Reinstein replied on March 08, 2009 19:05 to the idea "product relation(s) details" in ProductWiki:

Yes.

Like I posted earlier PW should have its own simple markup language which easily creates links to people, products, forum threads etc...

For example/ "The Sony Playstation 2 was replaced in 2006 by the <pr>Sony Playstation 3</pr>" should automatically become a link to the product/add it to the related products.

add a new report page descriptions are cut off

This must have happened when the site was redone. Funny nobody noticed until now...

'limited information' product list

Like the deletion list, a list should be created for incomplete entries with products that have missing information such as features, release dates or MSRPs. These could be gone back to after an estimated release date and updated or removed. Will cut back on canceled products, poor or non-optimized entries, old descriptions, etc...

Eg/ http://www.productwiki.com/lg-gd900/

captions displayed in gallery view

Captions should be displayed in gallery view, not just within each image. It should also be done nicely - the caption is not so pretty where/how it is displayed in the image details view (center it at least).

A good reason for this feature to be implemented: http://www.productwiki.com/amazon-kin...

This image looks like garbage compared to the others, and would probably be deleted accordingly - it doesn't bring anything to the gallery. However, if it was clear that this was the image leaked in October 2008 it would add to a greater appreciation and understanding of why it is there.

My gf has been having this problem for a while as well, she uses Wordpress.

strange pro/con bug

http://www.productwiki.com/viewsonic-...

Jordan voted:

Disagreed: "ugly lower bezel and stand"
Disagreed: "not a touchscreen"

among other things...

Now 'not a touchscreen' shows up twice, both +1, see individual votes errors.

no ability to delete talk comments

Should be a nice little delete button for moderators, much like comments.

edited and newly added pros/cons should update on front page

self-explained. Not a huge issue but good for when there are errors or holes to be patched up.

Type the product title here

Apply the same fix to the competitors/related product entry form as was applied to the 'type pro/con here' issue. Not as big an issue, but it does happen once in a while, and why not?

non http protocol links do not work

https links are automatically changed to http://https://, not sure about ftp or other protocols.

Eg/ http://www.productwiki.com/garmin-nuv...

temporary disable of amazon/sdc links

A temporary disable will make it easier to guide users to where the product is available (namely Amazon or select PW partners) without 'cloaking' the product from future SDC optimization. Not a huge issue, but I've come across a couple of these such as http://www.productwiki.com/linksys-nm....

This idea could be taken further and applied in other ways eg/ all new entries should be created with ads temporarily disabled.

bread-crumb "path navigator" bug

Using these links from within an edit page appends a /edit/ to the URL, resulting in an error.

Example:

from http://www.productwiki.com/lenovo-ide... clicking 'desktops' will send you to http://www.productwiki.com/desktops/e... instead of http://www.productwiki.com/desktops/

features stopped appearing in order last used

Suggested features on a product entry edit page used to show up in the order they were last used. Now they show up alphabetically.

pro/con count bug

some pro/con points are miscounted. Eg/ http://www.productwiki.com/steam/main...

improper product redirections

When creating a new product revision an old product is renamed and a new product is created with its name with the new specifications. In this instance the site has a redirect set up from the now new product entry to the old one.

product redirects

A simple method to create a product entry that redirects to another product - announcing the redirect once the user is transported. This would essentially work exactly like Wikipedia redirects. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NaCl for reference and http://www.productwiki.com/samsung-nv... and http://www.productwiki.com/dell-inspi... for eventual implementation

Yale Reinstein replied on December 25, 2008 02:41 to the idea "dispute pro/con" in ProductWiki:

I think that doing it manually is inefficient - especially later on when there are many pros/cons, products and people with opinions. Mistakes can be made, and the talk page should probably be used for more important things. I think an automatic method should be devised eventually.

Yale Reinstein started following the problem "Winning competitor should show up in recent changes" in ProductWiki.
