Edit the talk page of the article or project page that you are interested in. Create a new section at the bottom of the talk page. If the talk page already has a section started on the topic, you can edit that existing section, but a new section is generally better.
Insert an RfC template at the top of the talk page section. The RfC templates are listed in the adjacent table.
- Example: {{rfc|econ}} If you are not certain in which area an issue belongs, pick the one that seems closest.
- If the RfC is relevant to two categories, include them both. For example: {{rfc|econ|bio}}
- Note that the "Policies and Guidelines" category is for discussing changes to the policies and guidelines themselves, not for discussing how to apply the existing policies and guidelines to a specific article. The same approach also applies to "style", "WikiProject", and all of the other non-article categories.
Include a brief, neutral yet complete statement of the issue in the talk page section, immediately below the RfC template. The section header will not be copied by the bot to the separate RfC list. Sign the statement with ~~~~ (name and date) or ~~~~~ (just the date) ...

Add RfC for education

Help

Hi,

I'd like to submit a RFC/U, but I am kinda afraid, because of all the politic stuff.

I'm concerned about the behaviour of a specific admin in a specific ANI case.

I'd like to put together the appropriate 'evidence' of their misconduct - but I don't quite know how to do it.

Perhaps someone can help me? 88.104.19.233 (talk) 08:43, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

How to do an RFC on a topic without an article?

Maybe I'm being incredibly dumb here but the instructions say to add the RFC template to the talk page of the article I want to discuss, but I want to discuss Wikipedia:Archive.is RFC, which doesn't seem to be an article, just a specific RFC page.

I guess just make the RfC at Wikipedia talk:Archive.is RFC. Herostratus (talk) 01:32, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Modification of a request for comments

Hi all. I posted a request for comments on Talk:Crowned Crane. Later, another user deleted one paragraph (and modified another) of my request. I restored my version but it is still the modified one that is on Wikipedia:Requests for comment. Can somebody correct that or will it be automatically corrected? Thanks for your help.

Number of simultaneous requests

Is there any limit about the number of simultaneous requests a user can file? 84.127.80.114 (talk) 09:55, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
