What can be corrected
Corrections can concern canonical spelling, native script, transliteration, pronunciation, gender or regional usage, language, origin, meaning, etymology, variants, aliases, internal links, guide wording, or a reproducible calculation defect.
A different personal preference is not necessarily an error. When two regions or sources use a name differently, the best correction may preserve both interpretations with clear labels.
How to submit a useful correction
Email the page URL, quote the exact text, state the proposed replacement, and explain the relevant language, script, historical period, or region. Include a reliable dictionary, linguistic reference, established name authority, academic source, or strong community documentation where possible.
- Identify the affected canonical page or guide.
- Separate the factual correction from personal interpretation.
- Provide native script and transliteration when they matter.
- Share a source that can be independently reviewed.
How reviews are handled
A correction is checked against the existing record, aliases, related pages, and calculation rules. We may ask for context when a source represents one regional usage rather than a universal rule.
Accepted changes can revise a field, add an uncertainty note, add a variant, change a canonical relationship, or correct multiple generated links. Rejected changes should not be treated as proof that another usage is invalid; the evidence may simply be insufficient for a canonical statement.
Technical and harmful errors
Security issues, exposed personal information, severe cultural misrepresentation, or a route returning another person's shared details should be identified clearly in the subject line so the report can be prioritized.
Do not include unnecessary sensitive documents in a report. A page URL, screenshot description, and reproducible steps are normally enough.
