I do not see why it needs to be easier than making a PR. What would you propose?

  Because the easier it is the the more people are involved. That was the original idea of the WikiWay, to make editing simple [1] Second if this is the way to go - and I don't agree [2] - the UI should reflect this workflow and not propose a different one that mostly fails. [Edit] PRs also assume some kind of owner and committer relationship, which might be right for open source projects but is not the case of Wikipedia - even if many editors on Wikipedia consider the content "their own". [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WikiWikiWeb https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WikiWikiWeb - "Cunningham's idea was to make WikiWikiWeb's pages quickly editable by its users, [...] . The usefulness of Wiki is in the freedom, simplicity, and power it offers." [2] Wrote a quite successfull wiki 20y ago called SnipSnap, the engine of which started Atlassian Confluence, and did several years of research in using Wikis back then.

    The community is the owner, the individual editor/committer has to reach consensus if the edit is disputed.

      But that doesn't go for reverters, does it?
