Adding an editorial note

Leave a short note for other editors.

Use a note for information such as “Check the opening hours before publishing”. It is separate from the page's public body text.

  1. Open the edit page.
  2. Click Add note near the save controls, or Edit note if a note exists.
  3. Write a short, specific message and save it in the note dialog.
  4. Update or remove an outdated note when the work is finished.

A note is an aid for editors, not an approval workflow or a task assignment system. Do not put passwords or sensitive information in it. Other people who can edit the page may be able to read it.
