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.shaolin007 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 01, 2019 8:59 pm May I join the Wiki? Just have a couple of edits here and there re: Vanguard fund changes. Thanks!

Could I be added as a wiki editor, there is some updates about the iShares REIT fund I would like to update on https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Real_es ... ment_trust
Re: Join the Wiki!
May I please be made a Wiki editor? Following a long discussion on marginal tax rates and Roth vs. Traditional, I'd like to make some edits to these articles.

Re: Join the Wiki!
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).

Re: Join the Wiki!
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.
(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.)

Re: Join the Wiki!
I have fixed this specific broken link. Thank you for the note, and for providing the corrected page URL.
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.

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.
Re: Join the Wiki!
I’d also like the ability to edit the Wiki also if possible. I ran across a broken link recently and meant to report it but forgot. Sorry!

I'd like to edit the wiki, specifically the TSP page's matching section, as new military members (and those that joined after about 2005) now have access to matching funds.

Re: Join the Wiki!
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%
