Relevant policy for the opening, handling, and closure of RFCs can be found at Requests for comment/Policy.
Creating a new request
Create a subpage with a suitable name, for example Requests for comment/Reforming the RFC process
and content:
{{rfc subpage |status = |comment = |date = {{subst:CURRENTTIMESTAMP}} <!-- creation date, do **not** change --> }}
Below this describe your issue and submit the edit. Don't forget to sign your initial statement. The link to your page will automatically appear here, thus do not try to add it manually, but you may have to use the "Purge" link above, otherwise it may take some days until it happens.
Please ensure that you meet the requirements for opening a RFC, and that you notify the required parties or wikis, as per Requests for comment/Policy.
