Wikipedia:Edit requests

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 allow editors to propose changes to a page when they cannot or should not make the edits themselves. To ensure efficiency, each request should provide a clear and specific description of the proposed edit. If the change is potentially controversial, obtain consensus before submitting the request. Using the Edit Request Wizard or adding an appropriate talk page request template can help facilitate the process (see § Making requests below). Including the exact text of the suggested edit, or when possible linking to a sandbox version of the requested change, helps expedite review and implementation.

Once an edit request is approved and implemented, the responding editor must include copyright attribution in the edit summary, as outlined in § Responding to requests.

Certain types of edit requests require special handling. Errors on Wikipedia’s Main Page or tomorrow's main page should not be submitted as standard edit requests; instead, they should be reported at Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors. Similarly, requests to move or rename an article should be made through Wikipedia:Requested moves.
