I am noticing many people submitting corrections appear confused about the process, either submitting the same request in multiple issues or submitting and then closing the issue. This is an attempt to clarify what happens so it is clear that (i) the process happens on GitHub and (ii) the change is not enacted immediately, but needs to be reviewed.

I feel the button looks quite bulky with that much text. Maybe just “Submit for staff review”?

I don't mind the bulkiness if it may prevent confusion. @mjpost what do you think?

...it is ugly, but I also think we should err on the side of providing information.

I wonder if any people fail to submit the issue on Github. Should we have it read "Create Github Issue" (optionally with "for staff review" on second line)?

I was actually thinking of expanding the bot response, with the same purpose. Currently we say:

A staff member will review this correction. Once approved, it will be processed as part of a weekly batch of corrections.

Maybe this could become something like this:

A staff member will review this correction. Please note:

  • Once approved, it can take 1–2 weeks for this change to be processed as part of a batch of corrections.
  • Please leave this issue open until it is processed by us.
  • Once the issue is closed by us as “resolved”, it will take 30–40 minutes for the correction to appear on the website.

Use this form to create a GitHub issue with structured data describing the correction. You will need a GitHub account.
Once you create that issue, the correction will be reviewed by a staff member.

I wonder if we should add that this form currently does not appear to work with the Github Mobile app.

Is there a way to detect that they are on mobile, so as not to clutter the dialog for everybody?

Not sure if I would introduce a JavaScript component for a rather imprecise heuristic, but I can have a look.

Might be doable with CSS (display a warning banner only on narrow screens)

In Bootstrap 4, the d-lg-none class hides an element (display: none) for large displays.

OK, the mobile banner is working in the preview: https://preview.aclanthology.org/nschneid-submit-button/2025.cl-1.3/

I think this is ready to merge but it needs a review. @mjpost @mbollmann
