There is currently an 'enabled' tick box in the footer of the node config pages. When writing a contrib node, is it possible to add a further tick box alongside it?  
I was thinking about adding a 'debug' tick box, which would then print certain errors (originating from the formatting of the input msg) to the debug sidebar, for easy user diagnosis.

Is this possible?

It isn't impossible, but not something we'd like to see as it's outside the bounds of what a node is allowed to customise in its edit screen.
