"Yeah, but it leads to email instead of a web form"

Needs both options.

A form could also show what corrections have already been submitted. It could do that automatically based on submissions - but that could open up a path for spam/abuse displays.

My web site has simple validation in Javascript that appears to have barred anything other than a human filling in the form for at least the last decade. For an email link - simple obfuscation of the webmaster email address seems to be very effective against most spam.

The gauge of the anti-spam effectiveness is based on historical levels of abuse over the last 20 years.
