Add a contact button to pages that can't be edited
I was looking up my grandmother's great grandparents' today and see some of the records call my ancestor "Welcome Mofon" when his name is Welcome Franklin Mason. Clicking on the link, the entry cannot be edited to reflect his actual name. Luckily the links show his actual name, but since I can't correct it, it would be nice to have a link of some kind to the person who misread his name in the marriage records to ask them to make the correction.
Every once in a while, I happen upon such a page - uneditable but no contact link to the person who entered it incorrectly - and I wish the pages that are not editable had some way to contact the person who entered it incorrectly.

Depending on where exactly you found it, that misreading may have been by a volunteer indexer twenty or thirty years ago now. It is a fact of life that indexes have errors, and that those errors cannot necessarily be corrected. When such is the case, we can console ourselves with the further facts that the index is not the data, and that it served its purpose despite the error, because it allowed us to find the record.
