Reasons for contacting Wikipedia

I'm wondering why there isn't a category for reporting technical issues. Dismalscholar (talk) 03:26, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can we get rid of the "back to main page" link? Also we still need to link to WP:RFO.

I know this is a nitpick, but since this page is linked in the footer of all pages on Wikipedia, the main page would likely be just be another page, not one a reader would want to go "back" to. The "back to main page" button is just clutter since they can just use the back button instead.

Also, I still stand by my critique from two years ago that it needs to be easier to get to WP:Oversight or WP:RFO from here. Someone who has been doxed, threatened, or defamed on Wikipedia will likely come to this page when looking for who to contact. Someone else mentioned a similar problem at /Archive 5#Threats of harm (again). PBZE (talk) 05:44, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestions

The 'Contact us' page doesn't say how to make suggestions. I have a suggestion, so I ferreted around a bit to see where the best place to make it was, and came across (or stumbled across) Wikipedia talk:Contact us. Great, I thought, that'll be the place. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, but it at least ought to mention suggestions, i.m.o., either by redirecting the reader or by explaining it here. Nick Barnett (talk) 20:08, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request 29 April 2025

It is requested that an edit be made to the fully protected project page at Wikipedia:Contact us.
(edit · history · last · links · sandbox · edit sandbox · sandbox history · sandbox last edit · sandbox diff · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, so that an editor unfamiliar with the subject matter could complete the requested edit immediately.

Edit requests to fully protected pages should only be used for edits that are either uncontroversial or supported by consensus. If the proposed edit might be controversial, discuss it on the protected page's talk page before using this template. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request. When the request has been completed or denied, please add the |answered=yes parameter to deactivate the template.

Description of suggested change: I suggest that we add a hatnote to the subpage Article subjects to redirect people to WP:About you, as it’s really easy for people to accidentally type “WP:ABOUTYOU” instead of “WP:ABOUT YOU” in the search bar. Diff:
