Just create a page editable for everybody (as user talk pages are editable
for blocked users):

* [[Wikipedia:Edit suggestions by TOR users]]

Redirect to it with a notice when a TOR node click on edit tabs. Later, any
user can add the suggestions to the articles, if they are OK.

Anyway, TOR doesn't seem 100% secure, so perhaps a notice that they can be
tracked would be nice.
