Within it there is no "Report" button.

And here is the edit,
https://zh.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Jidanni&diff=68163457&oldid=68079691
again, no Report button to be seen.

Benefits (why should this be implemented?):

One could then easily report

  • Spam
  • Abuse
  • Etc.

On other websites, every item has a Report button.

Currently on Wikipedia, one has to go hunting for how to report things, as there are no report buttons.

Sure, you could say "That was caused by 180... Report it to Vibo Telecom Inc., not Wikipedia."

But at least Wikipedia should know what happened.

Event Timeline

Hi, what exactly is this ticket asking for? Adding a button to HTML notification emails? (What to do in the plain text version of the notification email then?) Adding a button to the on-wiki diff? Both?

  1. Add button to HTML mail: [Report]
  1. Add link to text/plain version: Report this: https://........./report?id=123456
  1. Add [Report] button/menu entry/etc. to each item on a Talk page.

Has this idea been discussed before and people were in favor?

Certainly today is the first time anybody thought about it!

I interpret that as a No.

See T293052#7418797 (any community conversations?) and T293052#7418761 (task scope too broad).
