The arithmetic in post #3 is right; the assumption feeding it is the part to check.

Requests for a page summarising a supplier are declined, because that is what the vendor documentation set is for and it has its own standards.

Correction requests: if you spot an error in a maintained page, note it here with the specific correction. The maintainer will review and update if justified.

b.osei, post #3: Flag a page that has drifted: if you notice a maintained page has information that is outdated (dates that have passed, regulatory changes, new evidence) post a flag so the maintainers see it. Go to post

Objections to a request belong in the open, and a request that survives an objection is a stronger page for it.

Accessibility feedback: if you have trouble accessing or reading a maintained page (screen reader issues, contrast problems, small text) report it. Accessibility matters.

The step people skip is the one I have spelled out.

NLoughran, post #11: This follows post #8 rather than contradicting it. Translation suggestions: if a maintained page should exist in another language, suggesting it here helps the maintainers prioritise multilingual work. Go to post

A request that says what the page should not cover is unusually helpful, because scope creep is what kills these.

The right answer here may simply be that it has not been measured.

Moved from Doc review by owen.brady. Category placement is not obvious from outside and getting it wrong is expected. This topic will get better answers here. The move is recorded in the public log citing R7.
