Override and Fix Solus' Mistakes #87

Open uniphil opened 11 years ago

uniphil commented 11 years ago

I agree with @pR0Ps that #49 is too much for too few benefits. But I also think that we should seek to show everything as correctly as possible, even when Solus is wrong, with missing or incorrect content. I think both issues can be solved with overrides at our end.

So I propose that we implement a way for us to override the info shown, probably with a special note informing that we think we're showing the correct info but it's not what solus gave us, and possibly an option to see exactly what solus said.

Further (after #15?), I think it would be great to have a button to flag errors (even if it's wrong on Solus) and suggest fixes.

Not exactly a simple fix. Thoughts?

I like the idea of having a flag - perhaps like the fall/winter/summer tags we have going now, but put in manually.

I agree it's only a few courses affected (almost a dozen we've found incidentally), but they are some of the most popular first and second year courses so the number of users affected would be significant.

And then perhaps we can have an optional link to a more in depth explanation if they're curious as to why our info is different from that on SOLUS.
