Suggesting edits and history
The Library's articles are looked after by its librarians (the site admins). Members cannot change an article directly, but anyone signed in can suggest a fix.
Suggest an editβ
- Sign in and open the article.
- Tap π Suggest an edit under the article. The page Suggesting an edit opens.
- Change the title, summary or content. The content uses Markdown: start a line with
##for a section heading. A live preview shows how it will look. - Add a Note to the librarians (optional) explaining what you changed and why.
- Tap π Suggest this edit. You see Thank you β your suggestion was sent for review!
A librarian reviews each suggestion and approves or rejects it. Approved changes go live on the article.
Only librarians can start a brand-new article. If you think a topic is missing, mention it in the note on a suggested edit to a related article.
Revision historyβ
Articles that a librarian has edited carry the βοΈ community-edited tag and a View history link.
- Tap View history to open Revision history. Each revision shows when it was saved and its edit summary.
- Tap Compare to previous on a revision to see what changed, line by line. Tap Hide diff to close it.
Articles that have never been edited (π core article) have no history yet.
Article of the Weekβ
The β Article of the Week on the home page rotates every Monday. Librarians can also choose one by hand.
