I agree to licence all of my input on this question ...
Suggest these modifications

Alternatives: (a) have an up/down button on each question, then show new position; (b) have indication of original position, but actually move the items

I do not want to suggest a change: go back to question page.

Issues

For question modification, keep it to just one extra item at a time.

Languages

If someone is suggesting a change in the primary language version, this is OK as is. Alternate languages can be either initial translations, or new translations. A new translation needs to see the original and the other suggested translations.

History of question modification suggestions

It would make great sense if anyone suggesting a modification is able to see previous attempts at modification and old versions of the question. Allow all the versions to be scrolled through, and give, for each version:

• the date it was drafted
• the date adopted, if it was
• (both are the same, if original version)
• the date superseded
• the numbers of people involved in deciding its adoption and its supersession

Adaptations to make this into a question creation page

Obviously, allow several options. Limit to 9? (from the dictum 7 ± ± 2)

Keep question in private pen until actually asked. When it is asked, then obviously it must go into the pool.
