 | This is an information page. It is not an encyclopedic article, nor one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines; rather, its purpose is to explain certain aspects of Wikipedia's norms, customs, technicalities, or practices. It may reflect differing levels of consensus and vetting. |
Edit requests are used to request edits to a page when the requesting editor cannot or should not make those changes themselves. Each request should include a clear, specific description of the desired edit. For potentially controversial changes, obtain consensus before submitting the request. Use the edit request wizard or add an appropriate talk page template (see Making requests below). Clarity in edit requests is essential, and including the exact text of the proposed change, if possible, will help expedite the process.
When edits are approved and implemented, the responder must include copyright attribution in the edit summary, as outlined below in Responding to requests.
Errors on the main page require special handling and should not be submitted as standard edit requests. To report an error on the current main page or tomorrow's main page, add it to the appropriate section on Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors.
For moving or renaming an article, see Wikipedia:Requested moves.
