Hi,

Would it be an idea to have directly on every coins/banknotes/Exomumia pages a link to the correct referee with an hyperlink to PM him.

I mean we currently have:

Contribute to the catalog
Modify or add data on this page
Register a past auction sale

I would add a last sentence: "The referee for this country is Indomini16".

The main problem right now is as you have to look on Numista Team to find the referee (not user friendly), and as new users don't know where to find it they just submit catalogue change to ask something instead of writting a Private message.
Always look on the bright side of life!
Agree. That would make sense to have it directly tied to the coin.

Although, it's actually easier than looking on Numista Team to find the referee. On a coin search page with a country selected the referee is shown at the bottom.

​Searching the referee via the Numista Team link certainly isn't user friendly. In the past it was, when the countries were alphabetically with their respective referees, now the referees are alphabetically with their respective countries. A big difference and certainly not an improvement (in my opinion of course).
But there are better ways to find the referee. See the last post here: https://en.numista.com/forum/topic108852.html

Nevertheless, it would be an improvement to have a link to the referee at every coin page in stead of at every catalog page.
Agree having at the bottom of the entry page makes sense.
The list of coins and exonumia referees classified by country can be found H E R E

for the moment only one referent has declared himself specialized in a country (Switzerland)
there is no longer an exonumia referent for banknotes
