## Pre-wiki methods for reporting a bug or requesting an enhancement The following options are available to general contributors for reporting a bug or requesting an enhancement: 1. Post it on the Wall 2. Send an e-mail to team@tatoeba.org 3. Send a private message to one or more of the administrators We do have a full-fledged tracking system,but it only accepts requests from members of the Tatoeba development team. To temporarily bridge the gap, I have created this page. Soon, the items below will be converted into tickets in the tracking system. ## Bugs 1. Restore old Wall messages. (Scott, [Wall](http://tatoeba.org/eng/wall/show_message/16859#message_16859).) *Response from sysko: this will happen with the new Wall, which will arrive before the new Tatoeba. In the interim, requests for the raw data (for searching) can be sent to him.* 2. In Hebrew, sentence-final punctuation does not always appear at the end of the sentence for all users. (karstenenh, [Wall](http://tatoeba.org/eng/wall/show_message/16549#message_16549)) 3. The English interface should say "Sentences in [Language A] not translated *into* English" rather than "Sentences in [Language A] not translated *in* English" (AlanF_US, [Wall](http://tatoeba.org/eng/wall/show_message/16505#message_16505)) 4. Nonexistent anchor in FAQ: the [FAQ page](http://tatoeba.org/eng/faq#change-language) has a bullet item at the top entitled "How to change the language of a sentence", but the anchor doesn't exist. (AlanF_US, [Wall](http://tatoeba.org/eng/wall/show_message/16501#message_16501)) 5. [The "how to be a good contributor" wiki page](http://en.wiki.tatoeba.org/articles/show/how-to-be-a-good-contributor-in-tatoeba) refers to a missing image. (AlanF_US, private message to sysko) ## Enhancements 1. Make threads on the Wall collapsible. (AlanF_US, [Wall](http://tatoeba.org/eng/wall/show_message/16872#message_16872).) 1. Place links to "Help" and "FAQ" at the top of the page, not at the bottom. (AlanF_US, [Wall](http://tatoeba.org/eng/wall/show_message/16871#message_16871)) 2. Indicate register (degree of formality) of a sentence, perhaps via tags, perhaps in some other way. (webmistusik, [Wall](http://tatoeba.org/eng/wall/show_message/16854#message_16854)) 3. Make tags translatable. (sacredceltic, [Wall](http://tatoeba.org/eng/wall/show_message/16857#message_16857)) 4. Search online for sentences with specific tag combinations (e.g., "@needs native check" and "OK"). (AlanF_US, [Wall](http://tatoeba.org/eng/wall/show_message/16801#message_16801)) 5. Impose mail limits on new users in order to reduce spam. (shanghainese, [Wall](http://tatoeba.org/eng/wall/show_message/16755#message_16755)) 6. Add captchas for registration of new users. (Guybrush88, [Wall](http://tatoeba.org/eng/wall/show_message/16775#message_16775)) (The thread goes on to suggest other ideas, such as a requirement to post a certain number of sentences.) 7. Select list for a sentence instantly rather than requiring OK button. (FeuDRenais, [Wall](http://tatoeba.org/eng/wall/show_message/16749#message_16749)) 8. On the wiki main page, in the right sidebar, under "Article available in:", the first item is "Deutsh". It should be "Deutsch". (AlanF_US, private message to Trang and sysko) 9. Make a new option "Display orphan sentences" in the settings page and set it "off" by default. (tommy_san, [Wall](http://tatoeba.org/eng/wall/show_message/16636#message_16636)) 10. Display owner (if any) next to sentence. (AlanF_US, [Wall](http://tatoeba.org/eng/wall/show_message/16640#message_16640)) 11. Segregate sentences by learners from sentences by natives. (alexmarcelo and others, [Wall](http://tatoeba.org/eng/wall/show_message/16629#message_16629)) 12. Make it easy to request translations of specific sentences by natives. (tommy_san, [Wall](http://tatoeba.org/eng/wall/show_message/16623#message_16623)) 13. Rolling over a tag should show username rather than user number (ID) of contributor who left tag. (AlanF_US, [Wall]( http://tatoeba.org/eng/wall/show_message/16875#message_16875)) 14. Provide a function that lets you search for existing duplicates or near-duplicates of a sentence that you're about to submit, ideally without disturbing your workflow. (AlanF_US, [Wall](http://tatoeba.org/eng/wall/show_message/16877#message_16877)) 15. Improve handling of sentences to which an OK tag currently cannot be added. (AlanF_US, [Wall](http://tatoeba.org/eng/wall/show_message/16885#message_16885)) 16. In the search engine, be able have an additional "with audio in" filter (request made by email) 17. Allow unsubscribed users to see the sentences of a particular user. (tommy_san, [Wall](http://tatoeba.org/eng/wall/show_message/16927#message_16927)) 18. Improve the algorithm used to automatically identify languages. (sacredceltic, [Wall](http://tatoeba.org/eng/wall/show_message/16928#message_16928)) 19. Bring up a randomly generated page within a set (e.g., English sentences with audio not translated to Portuguese). (marcospcruz, [Wall](http://tatoeba.org/eng/wall/show_message/16930#message_16930)) 20. Offer an option to let automatic notifications go to one's Tatoeba mailbox (private message inbox) instead of or in addition to an external mailbox.(AlanF_US, [Wall](http://tatoeba.org/eng/wall/show_message/16970#message_16970)) 21.

Send automatic notifications for a wider variety of events, including when translations are linked to or unlinked from one of the sentences that I own.
