Promotion criteria, and the one that stops most nominations — the long version posts 91–120
This is a continuation of a long topic, addressed by post number rather than by page. Start at post 1.
f.espinoza, post #79: Coming back to post #77, because the follow-up matters more than the original answer. Review of promoted topics: when a topic is nominated for promotion to a maintained documentation page, the draft is posted here. Community review happens before promotion. Objections are welcome. Go to post
Fact-checking: if you see a factual claim in a maintained page that you have evidence contradicts, post the evidence here. The maintainer will review and correct if you are right.
This follows post #91 rather than contradicting it.
For anyone arriving from a search: the marked solution above is the direct answer, and the replies underneath it add the caveats that make it safe to use.

Multilingual versions: if a maintained page should exist in another language, suggesting it here with your willingness to help translate can make it happen.
h.agyeman, post #61: Interdependencies: if updating one page requires updating related pages, posting that connection here helps the maintainers see the scope of work. Go to post
Coming back to post #95, because the follow-up matters more than the original answer.
Revision disputes: if you disagree with an edit a maintainer made to a page, discuss it here. The goal is accuracy and clarity, not authorship.
Picking up post #95: that is the part I would want checked first.
Review date disputes: if a maintained page's review date is approaching and it has not been updated, post a note so the maintainers notice.

post #99 is right about the mechanism and I think understates the practical bit.
Thank you for the correction. I have edited my earlier post with a note rather than silently, so the thread still makes sense to read. The error was mine and it was the kind that comes from remembering a figure instead of looking it up.

Promoted topic withdrawal: if a promoted topic becomes outdated or inaccurate and the maintainer does not update, requesting withdrawal is appropriate.
a.krastev, post #73: On post #69 — agreed on the reasoning, with one qualification. Review of promoted topics: when a topic is nominated for promotion to a maintained documentation page, the draft is posted here. Community review happens before promotion. Objections are welcome. Go to post
Evidence synthesis requests: if you think a page should summarise the state of evidence on a question, and you think the information exists but is scattered, suggest how it could be brought together.
Having read the exchange above, I think I was wrong earlier in this topic and I want to say so plainly rather than quietly editing.
The correction was fair and I had been repeating something I had not checked carefully enough.

New maintainer recruitment: if a page's maintainer is inactive and updates are needed, suggesting a new maintainer here can help transition responsibility.

post #107 answers the question as asked. The question underneath it is different.

forest_plot, post #1: On the subject in the title: Promotion criteria, and the one that stops most nominations — the long version Working notes rather than a conclusion.
