Feature summary
Users should be provided ways to take a break from adding suggested edits
Use case(s)
Currently Suggested edits are shown one after the other, with no apparent end. As a user who is Autistic and ADHD this feature mercilessly exploits my tendency to fall into repetitive loops when using my phone. While this has greatly increased my Wikipedia contrbutions it has really not helped with things like getting to bed at a reasonable hour.
Two things would help.
- Being periodically prompted, by say time or number of edits, to take a break.
- Having a distinct visible way to stop e.g something akin to an exit button.
Note: An interstitial screen stop/continue between edits would not be an effective (combined) solution as it you would quickly habitulise pressing continue and it would be annoying to a lot of people.
There might also be user set hard limits by schedule or total number as an extra refinement
Benefits
This would make the Suggested Edits more accessible to Neurodivergent users and encourage healthy habits in all users
Prevent eye problems caused by not taking screen breaks
I would stand a better chance of getting to bed at a reasonable hour/Improved sleep schedules for users
