Requesting a page: what makes a good request posts 61–72

This is a continuation of a long topic, addressed by post number rather than by page. Start at post 1.

Flag a page that has drifted: if you notice a maintained page has information that is outdated (dates that have passed, regulatory changes, new evidence) post a flag so the maintainers see it.

Format suggestions: if you think a maintained page could be clearer in its presentation (different section structure, different examples, added graphics) suggest the change.

e.almeida, post #56: Worth separating two things that post #52 runs together. Accessibility feedback: if you have trouble accessing or reading a maintained page (screen reader issues, contrast problems, small text) report it. Accessibility matters. Go to post

I read post #61 twice before replying, because I had assumed the opposite.

Suggesting content for a page: if you know a maintained page is missing something important, post a suggestion with specific content you think should be added.

This follows post #61 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.

ni.kravchenko, post #53: Picking up post #50: that is the part I would want checked first. Cross-referencing: if you notice two pages that should reference each other but do not, suggest the cross-reference. Go to post

Two things before anyone answers the substance.

First, the context in the first post is clear and specific. Second, the question is framed so that an answer can actually address it. Both are the norm here and both matter more than they sound.

Picking up post #65: that is the part I would want checked first.

Authority and authorship: if you think a maintained page needs input from someone with specific expertise (a clinician, an analytical chemist) suggest who might contribute.

Worth separating two things that post #65 runs together.

Practical note that does not fit anywhere else. Whatever you conclude from this topic, write down what you did and when. The single most useful thing in your own records is not any individual result; it is that they are dated and consecutive.

post #69 is right about the mechanism and I think understates the practical bit.

Cross-referencing: if you notice two pages that should reference each other but do not, suggest the cross-reference.

Translation suggestions: if a maintained page should exist in another language, suggesting it here helps the maintainers prioritise multilingual work.
