Corrections
If something on this site is wrong, out of date, or missing an important source, you can report it. Reports about safety wording are handled first. Substantive corrections are published here with a date and are recorded in the change history of the affected page. Nothing substantive is changed silently.
This page describes how errors on this site are reported and fixed. It is not a route for clinical or legal questions about your own situation.
What to report
Anything on this site that is:
- factually wrong,
- out of date,
- missing a stronger or more current primary source,
- a broken or redirected source link,
- misleading in how it is worded, even if technically accurate, or
- inaccessible with a screen reader, a keyboard, or at high zoom.
If you are not sure whether something is an error, report it anyway. Sorting that out is this publication's job, not yours.
What this page is not for
It is not a route for a question about your health, symptoms, or legal situation. Nobody here can answer those, and waiting for a reply would delay you from reaching someone who can.
If you may be having a medical emergency, call 911 or go to an emergency department. The urgent help page lists the routes to professional help.
How to report
The contact page lists the routes currently open for reaching this publication, including the corrections route.
The more specific a report is, the faster it can be checked. Useful details are the page address, the sentence in question, and the source you believe is correct.
How reports are triaged
Priority one, same day. Anything affecting safety wording, emergency instructions, medication information, or a link to urgent help. If the concern is credible and cannot be resolved immediately, the affected wording is withdrawn or the page is taken out of search listings while it is checked.
Priority two, within a few days. Factual errors in clinical or data content, and broken primary source links.
Priority three. Wording, clarity, terminology, and internal links.
Every report is read by a person. Reports about clinical content are checked against the primary sources, and where the change is material it goes to a medical reviewer before publication.
What counts as a substantive correction
A correction is substantive when it changes what a reader would understand or do. Those are logged below, with the date, the page, what it said before, what it says now, and why it changed.
A change is not substantive when it is a typographical fix, a formatting change, or a rewording that leaves the meaning intact. Those are not logged, and they do not move a page's substantive update date, because moving update dates for cosmetic edits makes every date on the site meaningless.
The correction log
No substantive corrections have been published yet. This site launched its first pages on August 29, 2026, and any correction made from that date onward is listed here with its date.
An empty log is not a claim that the site has no errors. It means none have been reported and confirmed yet.
What happens when a source changes
Sources are monitored on a schedule described in the methodology. When a monitored source changes, a task is opened for a person. The page is not edited automatically, and no clinical or legal conclusion changes without human review. Where the change is material, the resulting edit appears in the log above and in the change history of the page.
Change history
Every material change to this page is dated here. Typo fixes that do not change meaning are not listed and do not move the update date.
- Editorial change. Clarified that the correction route cannot answer personal health, symptom, or legal questions.
- Published. First publication of the corrections process and the public correction log.
