I've seen them do this on other sites - they propose the edit in a meta question, make and collaboratively edit a wiki answer that is big list of all the questions/answers needing editting, then people put their names above chunks of it like "Someuser123 will do these 10 at around 16:00 GMT" (unless it's outvoted by a "Let's not do this" answer). Shares workload, reduces flooding, prevents "busses"-style yoyoing, and means the style decision is recorded and can be linked to. | |
