I'm looking to set up an internal project wiki, containing mostly with how-to guides for software tools, servers and configuration.
From previous experience I know that the pages often get written once and forgotten, ending up out of date and, for a newbie, worse than no information at all.
To mitigate this, I'd like to implement the (perhaps un-wiki-like) concept of a page-owner (although anyone could still edit the page, including changing the owner). The page-owner would be expected to regularly review their page(s) and either update them or mark them clearly as out of date. Ideally, the wiki would periodically email page-owners asking them to update any pages which hadn't been changed recently.
Could I do this with Confluence?
Hi James,
As far as I know, there's no embedded functionality to remember users to edit and maintain pages updated in Confluence, specially in Cloud which doesn't allow many third party customizations to be applied.
I can say that some custom plugin could do that but then you would need to run Confluence BTF (Behind the Firewall) and host the application yourself to be able to create and install the plugin.
Cheers,
Rodrigo

Thanks, although it should say "remind" not "remember". "Remember" means something slightly different when used transitively.

Hi James, thanks for the tip. I'll update the ticket and correct it. Cheers!
