Corrections

Accuracy matters. If you find an error, we want to know.

How we handle corrections

Minor corrections — such as typos, broken links, or small formatting issues — are fixed silently without a public notice.

Significant factual corrections are noted at the top of the affected article with a clear description of what was changed, when it was changed, and what the original text said. We do not quietly rewrite factual claims without acknowledging the change.

If a correction changes the meaning or recommendation of an article in a material way, we add a note explaining the change.

What counts as a correction

  • Factually incorrect statements about protocols, products, or technical systems
  • Outdated information that has materially changed since publication
  • Misattributed quotes or incorrectly cited sources
  • Technical errors in code, commands, or configurations
  • Missing disclosures that should have been included

Provide as much detail as possible — the article URL, the specific claim that is incorrect, and what the correct information is.
