Requests for comment (RFC for short) is a process by which broader input can be requested. This is typically required for policy changes that are broad in scope. It may also be useful to gain wider input regarding conflicts or unresolved issues on other Wikimedia projects with the hopes of obtaining resolution. Add a link to the proposal page or disputed page or create a new subpage requesting comments here (please use {{Rfc subpage}}). Anyone is welcome to give his or her opinion on the requests listed below. See also: all pages.

Requests for comment that are inactive for more than 2 years can be marked as closed due to inactivity.[lower-alpha 1]
