Hi Shaolin - have you been able to become a wiki editor yet? If not, contact "Barry Barnitz" or "LadyGeek". You can see their posts earlier in this thread.

I would like to request being a Wiki editor. While I am not the most active on the forum, I have experience on Wikipedia's main site with creating pages and making regular edits. I wanted to make minor additions to several articles (most recently I saw was to add "DINK" to the abbreviations page).

Mainly want to fix the link on this page:
https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/529_pla ... ings_plans

The link in question is under the text "chart from FINRA" and points to this (broken) url:
http://www.finra.org/Investors/SmartInv ... ge/P124117

I believe the updated url should be this:
https://www.finra.org/investors/learn-t ... ison-chart

I can fix it if someone gives me access, or if someone wants to fix it themselves that's fine too.
Cheers. :beer

(As an aside, I noticed the FINRA chart is incomplete as it doesn't mention recapture taxes under "Penalties for Non-Qualified Withdrawals" in the case of some states. But that's another topic.)

I can't make you a wiki editor myself -- don't have the privileges -- but if you still want to become an editor you'd be more than welcome.

Thanks for fixing the link!

If someone wants to make me and editor just so I don't have to bother people in this thread again next time I want to suggest a change, I'm fine with that. If you want to keep the number of editors to a minimum, I'm fine with not being an editor too. Whichever fits with how you guys want to run things. :)

I'd like to edit the wiki. To start with I would fix some minor issues:
1. https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Saver%27s_credit mentions something about tables for years 2018 and 2017, but there are no such tables.
2. https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Rolling ... bond_funds says "This makes clear a key fact often admitted ..."; last word should be "omitted" like the same text says in https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Individ ... _bond_fund.

Hello there!

I'd like to join the wiki! After a few years of practical investing I think I may have a thing or two to contribute to the "Investing from [my country of residence]" page.

That page has been invaluable to me during my journey so far, for which I'm really grateful!

I have been combing through the wiki and found that https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Preferred_stock is missing some of the more recent preferred stock ETFs (well, recent-ish).

Could you add me (secondopinion) to the editors list or add the following?

Global X U.S. Preferred ETF (Ticker: PFFD): https://www.globalxetfs.com/funds/pffd/ (ETF.com: https://www.etf.com/PFFD). ER: 0.23%
Global X Variable Rate Preferred ETF (Ticker: PFFV): https://www.globalxetfs.com/funds/pffv/ (ETF.com: https://www.etf.com/PFFV). ER: 0.25%
