It came to my attention based on an edit last night that there was a hole in the documentation on how to edit the career section of pages on people. What happens if you find a page with an engagement record after the person's death? It's logically absurd, and we certainly don't want situations like that to persist. However, if you encounter the situation while browsing around, or while looking for some other page, then you might not know how to correctly resolve the situation. Simply deleting the engagement record for the person is not satisfactory. If it is a minor league playing record, for instance, then this will cause a problem in the Minor Leagues Database, since there will no longer be any person attached to that playing record.

To address this situation, which will not be rare but will also, I hope, not be too common, I created a new template, possible-error-flag. This should be placed at the top of a page on which a factual error or conflict has been identified. Use the discussion page to record the nature of the conflict, including any information you might have towards resolving the conflict.

We will be able to generate a list of all pages tagged with possible-error-flag, which will give a rich hunting ground to our puzzle-solving colleagues who live to track down the solutions to such conundra.
