Aplicativos da Wikimedia/Perguntas frequentes para Android
Informações gerais
Onde posso baixar o aplicativo?
Nosso aplicativo pode ser encontrado na Google Play Store: abra o aplicativo Play Store em seu dispositivo e busque por "Wikipédia".
No caso do seu dispositivo não usar os serviços Google, também é possível encontrar o aplicativo em lojas de terceiros, como a F-Droid, ou baixando o APK mais recente aqui.
Qual é a diferença entre o aplicativo para Android e a versão web móvel da Wikipédia?
O aplicativo da Wikipédia proporciona uma experiência otimizada e simplificada de pesquisa e leitura do conteúdo da Wikipédia. Por ser um aplicativo nativo, ele permite que os artigos sejam carregados com maior rapidez e menor uso de dados. Ele também oferece uma interface de resposta mais rápida, mais consistente com os outros aplicativos Android que você utiliza. O aplicativo acrescenta recursos que não estão disponíveis (ou que não são possíveis de existirem) na versão web da Wikipédia, como armazenar páginas no dispositivo para lê-las mais tarde, e compartilhar conteúdo e imagens dos artigos nos aplicativos das suas redes sociais preferidas.
Como posso fazer doações à Wikipédia?
You can donate at any time by going to the "More" menu in the main screen and selecting Donate. We accept donations through a variety of payment methods, including Google Pay (GPay). Unfortunately we cannot currently accept donations using your Google Store credits.
I already donated; why I am getting asked to donate again?
Due to our strict privacy guidelines, we don't connect your usage across devices. This means you may see a donation request in the app even if you have previously donated within a browser or on your desktop.
Please select "I already donated" option to let us know you're a donor, and dismiss the banner for the remainder of the campaign.
Do I need to be connected to the Internet to use the app?
You do need a connection to download articles, and to use the Explore feed. However, if you save articles to your reading lists, they will be available for later reading, even without an internet connection.
Que dispositivos são suportados?
Nosso aplicativo funciona em todos os dispositivos Android com a versão 5.0 (Lollipop) ou superior.
General features
Where is my reading history?
Reading history is in Search. You can browse or clear your reading history from the Search tab.
Home Feed
The Home Feed is the main landing experience in the Android app. It replaces the previous Explore Feed and provides both community-curated and personalized content.
What are the two tabs in the Home Feed?
The Home Feed includes two tabs:
- Community
- For You
Each tab offers a different reading experience.
What is the "Community" tab?
The Community tab highlights content curated from Wikipedia and Wikimedia projects. Much of the content is repurposed from Wikipedia's main page.
It includes:
- Featured Articles
- In the News
- On This Day
- Top Read
- Picture of the Day
The content is the same as the previous Explore Feed, with a refreshed layout.

Can I change my interests later?
Yes. You can update your interests and feed preferences at any time from Settings.
Go to:
Settings → Home Feed → For You → What's driving your feed → Your interests
Can I choose which tab opens first?
Yes. During onboarding, you can choose whether the app opens on the Community tab or the For You tab by default.
Can I customize the Home Feed?
Yes. You can:
- Update your interests
- Hide modules
- Dismiss content
These settings can be changed at any time.
Does the Home Feed use AI-generated summaries?
No. Content shown in the Home Feed comes directly from Wikipedia and Wikimedia projects. The feed does not generate article summaries using LLMs or generative AI.
How can I remove content I don't want to see from my feed?
Remove an individual card using the three-dot menu and selecting Hide card. This will hide that article on that device indefinitely.
Remove an entire module by using the three-dot menu and selecting Hide module, or in Settings.
If you continue to have issues with the content shown in your feed, contact (android-support@wikimedia.org).
Do I need an account to use the Home Feed?

Why does the For You tab change every day?
The For You tab refreshes daily to provide updated reading suggestions and encourage discovery of new topics and articles.
Can I turn personalization off?
You can change or remove your selected interests and customize the modules shown in your feed from Settings at any time.
Why am I seeing an article in my feed that I removed from my History?
After clearing your history or removing a single article from your history, pull down on the For You feed to refresh it. After the refresh, you should no longer see articles that have been removed from your history.
Activity Tab
- Q: Did the app introduce additional tracking?
- A: No, the activity tab relies on the app's locally stored "History" function, and publicly available editing data. Your reading history is only ever stored on your device and can be cleared at any time.
- Q: Can I still access my History?
- A: Yes, reading history is still available to all users. We've moved your reading history into the "Search" tab. There is also a more comprehensive timeline at the bottom of Activity that includes your reading, editing, and saving history. You can clear reading history from the Search tab, or the Activity tab at any time.
- Q: Will my private data be shared?
- A: No. Only public edit data is used externally; reading and donor data remain on your device.
- Q: How can I customize the tab?
- A: Click the overflow menu and go to Customize. Use the toggle controls to hide or show modules as you prefer.
- Q: Why may modules be empty?
- A: Empty modules include call to actions encouraging engagement (e.g., "Learn about editing" if no recent edits), which are triggered if there is no reading or editing activity or if all modules have been disabled.
- Q: Why isn't my editing data updated?
- A: Your editing insights are only updated once per day. Our current API has limitations, but we are working on a solution that will provide more real-time updates in a future release.
- Q: I noticed a bug or have a feature request, now do I report it?
- A: Create a task and tag the iOS App board or send an email to iOS-support@wikimedia.org.

Year in Review
What is the Year in Review?
The Year in Review is a feature on the Wikipedia Mobile Apps that leverages locally stored data and publicly accessible data to show you insights on your relationship with Wikipedia over the year. This feature adheres to the Wikimedia Foundation Privacy Policy, and was designed with your privacy in mind.
What time period does it cover?
The data referenced in the 2025 edition of Year in Review covers the time period of - . Some insights cover a shorter time frame.
How was this calculated?
- If you are logged-in, Year in Review shows insights that are personalized to your device and your Wikipedia account. Some insights require being logged-in to your account to view.
- Each time you view or save an article in the app, the article and related metadata is stored locally on your device. This information allows us to show you your "History" within the app, and make relevant reading recommendations. This metadata also allows us to calculate reading insights for Year in Review.
- Your reading insights are calculated from the data on your current device, and therefore will not include any articles you've read on different devices, or articles you have cleared from your History.
- Your reading history is not shared or stored on servers to create the Year in Review.
- Editing insights related to your username are sourced from publicly accessible editing and pageview records.
| Insight | How it works | Time frame covered |
|---|---|---|
| Minutes reading | Each time you view an article in the app, the app records the duration of how long you spent on the article locally on your device along with other metadata, so we can suggest other articles based on what you’ve read. We total this for the year to show your total minutes reading. | For iOS users: maio de 2025 - novembro de 2025
For Android users: janeiro de 2025 - novembro de 2025 |
| Total articles read | Each time you view an article in the app, the article title is stored locally on your device along with other metadata, and shown in "History". Year in Review totals the number of articles currently in "History" this year on your device. This includes articles read in all languages. | janeiro de 2025 - novembro de 2025 |
| Your top articles | Based on articles currently stored in your "History", we select up to 5 articles that you have read this year, with the most frequently visited articles shown at the top. This includes articles read in all languages. | For iOS users: janeiro de 2025 - novembro de 2025
For Android users: abril de 2025 - novembro de 2025 |
| Reading patterns | Each time you view an article in the app, the app records a timestamp locally on your device, so we can place it correctly in your "History". We use the timestamp to calculate additional insights like your favorite time to read, favorite day to read, and month you did the most reading. This includes articles read in all languages. | janeiro de 2025 - novembro de 2025 |
| Your most interesting categories | Each time you view an article in the app, the app records any categories associated with that article locally on your device. We select up to 5 categories that you have visited articles within, with more frequently visited categories at the top. Categories with shorter names have been filtered out, to improve the experience. | maio de 2025 - novembro de 2025 |
| Articles you read are closest to | Each time you view an article in the app, the app records any geographic coordinates associated with that article locally on your device. We look for the biggest cluster of articles nearby a single country. | For iOS users: janeiro de 2025 - novembro de 2025
For Android users: abril de 2025 - novembro de 2025 |
| Articles saved | This is the total number of articles your account has saved to reading lists within the app during the year, across all languages. Articles that have been unsaved are removed from the total. | janeiro de 2025 - novembro de 2025 |
| Total edits | This is the total number of edits you have made this year across all projects. The total includes reverted edits, and edits made outside the article namespace (user, talk, etc). | janeiro de 2025 - novembro de 2025 |
| Views on edits | This is the total number of views that articles you've edited have received in the past 2 months. We calculate this using your username, and the Growth Tools Special Impact Module. It includes articles that you've edited in your last 1000 edits. The pageviews are from the previous 60 days before you access Year in Review, and not limited to a single calendar year.
These views are only for edits made on the language Wikipedia you have set as your primary language in the App. |
The prior 60 days |
| Contribution status | When you make a donation using the App, standard information is recorded by Wikimedia Fundraising so that your donation can be processed, according to the Donor Privacy Policy. The App also stores limited information locally on your device to remember that you made a donation. No personal details or payment information is stored locally on the device. Year in Review recognizes that you have recently donated, and can show you a Thank You message. Your status as a donor is not associated with your Wikipedia username on the App at any time. | janeiro de 2025 - novembro de 2025 |
How can I turn on the custom app icon?
-
For Android devices, navigate to Settings and turn it on under App icon.
-
For iOS devices, turn the icon on from the Year in Review, or in Settings > App theme > App icon.
Why can't I see the custom app icon?
The custom app icon is available to those who have made edits in the past year, and those who have made in-app donations. Contributions made on other platforms or other devices will not be registered. If you are having difficulty, please reach out to our support emails at iOS-support@wikimedia.org, and android-support@wikimedia.org.
How does the Year in Review reading list work?
The Android App is offering a trial Year in Review reading list this year. If you opt-in to create the list, the app will gather a reading list with up to 25 articles. These articles will be the ones you spent the most amount of time reading during the past year. Once the reading list is created, you can delete or modify it at any time like a normal reading list. Each time you view an article in the app, how long you spent on the article is recorded locally on your device. This information and your most read articles are never shared or stored anywhere other than your device.
How can I remove personalized insights from Year in Review?
- If you would like to hide the Year in Review and clear all reports associated with it, navigate to Settings > Year in Review, and turn off Year in Review. You may still turn it back on, and your insights will be recalculated.

Places
How do I find articles near my current location?
On the Places tab! The first time you visit Places, you’ll be asked for permission to access your location. If you grant this permission (which will be used only for Places search) the Places map should center on your current location and load the most popular places near you.
Do I have to share my location to use Places?
No. The location permission is requested only for seeing Wikipedia articles near you. If you do not grant this permission, you are still welcome to explore the map by scrolling and zooming anywhere in the world, or search for places by name. If you don’t grant the location permission, but later want to enable it, you can go to the "App info" screen for the Wikipedia app, then tap "Permissions".
Can I get directions to a location on the Places map?
Yes. To do this, tap a place marker on the map to see its preview, then tap the overflow menu (three dots), and select "Get directions".
Why isn’t a specific place shown on the map?
The Places screen only shows locations that have a Wikipedia article. Wikipedia is huge and ever growing, but it is not exhaustive. Not all articles have been tagged with their geographic locations, not all notable locations have articles yet. Try searching for your location by name on the Places tab, or zoom closer into the area to narrow your search on the map.
Reading lists and offline reading
To save an article for later reading, tap the "bookmark" icon in the bottom toolbar:
This will automatically make the article available for reading offline, i.e. even when you are not connected to the internet. When you bookmark articles, they are saved to a default reading list called "Saved", but you can also create different reading lists of your own, and categorize your saved articles however you like.
Artigos salvos a uma lista são automaticamente disponibilizados mesmo sem conexão com a internet, para que você possa lê-los quando quiser. Se você não deseja que algum artigo seja salvo "offline", vá até a lista e segure o artigo desejado. Surgirá uma lista de opções para o artigo, que inclui uma caixa de seleção com o rótulo "Disponível offline". Você pode acessar todas as suas listas de leitura tocando no botão "Salvos" na tela principal.
When you are logged in to the app, your reading lists are automatically synchronized to your Wikipedia account, so that your lists will be restored if you install the app on a different device, or uninstall/reinstall it on the same device. Your reading lists will also be available if you log in to the iOS version of the app. However, at the moment your reading lists are not accessible from the desktop or mobile web version of the Wikipedia website.
For users to prevent accidental deletion or restore their reading lists on the Wikipedia mobile app for Android:
- Make sure you are logged in.
- Go to "More" -> "Settings", in the "Syncing" section, make sure the "Reading list syncing" is on.
- Go back to "Saved" and click on the "Refresh sync" in the top-right overflow menu to manually sync your reading lists to the server.
Readability and themes
When reading an article, tap the "Theme" button in the bottom toolbar. There you will see numerous options, including:
- Increase or decrease the text size for reading articles.
- Change the color theme between Light, Sepia, Dark, or Black. (The Black theme is particularly useful for devices with an OLED display, since it will save battery power by keeping most pixels black.)
- Whether to "Match system theme". Since Android itself now supports a light and dark theme, the app can automatically adjust to the system setting. If you do not want to match the system theme (i.e. if you want to use the Dark theme in the app, but keep the device in the Light theme, you'll need to unselect "Match system theme").
- Whether to dim images. When using the Dark or Black theme, dimming images may be an additional benefit for distraction-free reading.
In-article conveniences
- Tap the "Contents" button at the bottom (or swipe from right to left anywhere in the article) to see the table of contents for the current article. Tap on any section in the table of contents to jump to that section in the article.
- Tap on references (superscript numbers) to see a popup that describes the reference in detail.
- Tap any image to view it full-screen; pinch to zoom the image, or swipe left or right to view other images that appear in the article.
Games
Q: How to access games?
A: On Android, From the bottom bar, tap "More", then select "Games".
A: On iOS, from the Explore Feed.
Q: Where do the events come from?
A: All the events are real and sourced from each language Wikipedia’s "Days of the year" pages. They’re curated from history and matched by date—so if you're playing on May 14, all events happened on a past May 14.
Q: How is my score saved?
A: Your score and history are saved locally on your device. They are not tied to your Wikipedia account or shared with anyone.
Q: Can I play past or future games?
A: Once you’ve played today’s game you can access the game archive from the results page which will give you access to past games. Past games may be slightly different than they appeared on the day they were first published to account for updates to the Wikipedia page related to the day of the year.
Q: Can I share my score?
A: Yes! You’ll have the option to share your score at the end of each game.
Q: Do I need to sign in to play?
A: Nope! No login required—just open the app and start playing.
Q: Which languages is the game available in?
A: The game is currently available in English, French, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, and Turkish.
Edição
General
Para editar um artigo, toque no ícone de "lápis" que aparece ao lado do cabeçalho das seções do artigo. Note that some articles are protected from being edited by anonymous users or users with too few edits.
Os artigos da Wikipédia são formatados através de uma formatação própria do MediaWiki chamada wikitexto. When you edit a section of an article in the app, the wikitext syntax will be automatically highlighted to assist with formatting.
- Preciso mesmo autenticar-me com uma conta permanente para poder editar?
- Não, é possível fazer edições sem ter de criar uma conta permanente ou sem se autenticar nela. Porém, observe que, a depender do idioma da Wikipédia que você estiver editando, você receberá uma conta temporária ou seu endereço IP se tornará associado às suas edições. If it’s assigned your IP address, then your IP address will be visible to anyone who looks at the edit history of the article. Please note that some Wikipedias disallow editing of articles in the Main namespace if you are not logged in.
- É possível enviar imagens?
- Not yet in the Android App, but you may upload an image using the Commons App, or Mobile Upload Wizard, and then add the image to the article from the app.
- Can I view the Talk page or Edit history of an article or page?
- Yes, access the Talk page or Edit history can be accessed from the top-right overflow menu (three dots), or from your toolbar.

Suggested edits
If you are keen to start making contributions to Wikipedia, the app provides you with various types of editing suggestions, presented as a continuous feed that you can swipe through. Go to the main screen of the app and tap the "Edits" button at the bottom to see the types of suggested edits that are available. These include:
- Article descriptions: Add short descriptions to articles that are missing descriptions. These descriptions are shown when searching Wikipedia on your desktop or mobile device, and in various places in the app.

- Image captions: Add captions to images on Wikimedia Commons that are missing captions. These captions are shown when tapping on images in articles to view them full-screen.
- Image tags: Add tags to images on Wikimedia Commons. These tags will be used to make images more searchable and better structured.
- Edit patrol: review a feed of recent edits along with their quality score.
Take actions: leaving messages on talk pages, thanking, undoing or rolling back edits.
For answers to Frequently Asked Questions about Suggested Edits, please see Android Suggested Edits .
Contribution history
You can view your own contribution history by going to the main screen and tapping the "Edits" button at the bottom. This will show you the total number of edits you've made so far, your current edit quality (based on how many of your edits were reverted), among other statistics. To see more details about each of your previous contributions, tap on the statistics card. This will show a full-screen list of each of your edits.
Notifications
If you are logged in to your account, you can receive notifications about your account activity. These notifications will automatically pop up along with other system notifications in your device's status bar. The types of actions for which notifications are sent include:
- Message(s) left on your User Talk page.
- Another user thanking you for an edit you made.
- One of your edits being reverted.
- Security notices regarding your account.
To see all of your current notifications, tap the bell icon in the top toolbar.
To choose which notifications pop up in your system status bar, tap the overflow menu (three dots) in the Notifications screen, and select "Notification preferences".
Troubleshooting
If the app does not seem to be receiving notifications correctly, please consider these suggestions:
- Make sure that you are logged in to your account in the app. Try logging out and back in.
- Make sure you have notifications enabled in the app. Go to the Notifications screen (from the "More" menu on the main screen), then tap the overflow menu at the top right, then select "Notification preferences". Make sure that the "Poll notifications" option is turned on.
- Make sure you haven't denied the app to show notifications from the system status bar. Android allows you to selectively allow and deny notifications to be shown from any app that tries to show them. To make sure that the Wikipedia app is allowed to show notifications, go to your system Settings, then go to "Apps and Notifications", then look for the "Notifications" selection. This should show you a list of all apps that could show notifications, along with a switch to enable or disable notifications for that app. Make sure that the switch is enabled for Wikipedia.
Languages
Wikipedia content exists in more than 300 languages, and you can select one or more of those languages to be used in the app.
When the app is first installed, it defaults to the system language of your device. If you have more than one keyboard language installed, the app should automatically detect those languages and add them to its list of languages.
Configurar o idioma da Wikipédia
To change the Wikipedia language, go to the "More" menu in the main screen, tap "Settings", then select "Wikipedia languages". From there you can add, remove, and rearrange your preferred languages. (Your topmost language will be used by default when searching Wikipedia.)
Ler um artigo em outro idioma
When reading an article, you can tap the "Language" button in the bottom toolbar to see other languages in which this article is available. (Note that not all articles will be available in all languages.)
Privacidade e segurança
O aplicativo me rastreia? Você usa meus dados?
Yes, some of your actions within the app are tracked anonymously, so that we can continue to improve our features.
When you read an article, the article title is saved locally on your device in your reading history. Metadata about the article is also stored, including categories, time spent on article, articles visited before and after, and the article subject's coordinates (if available). You may clear your history at any time within the "Search" tab, and the metadata will also be cleared. This information is not stored anywhere else except your device.
When you make a donation using the App, standard information is recorded by Wikimedia Fundraising so that your donation can be processed, according to the Donor Privacy Policy. The App also stores limited information locally on your device to remember that you made a donation from that device, and allows us to personalize your experience. No personal details or payment information is stored locally on device. Your status as a donor is not associated with your Wikipedia username on the app at any time. You can clear your locally stored donation history at any time in Settings > Delete local donation history.
How does "Wikipedia Year in Review" work?
Wikipedia Year in Review is a feature that leverages both the data stored locally on your device as a part of normal app usage, and publicly accessible editing data to show you insights on your relationship with Wikipedia over the year. Learn more about how this feature uses your data. If you would like to hide the Year in Review and all clear reports associated with it, navigate to More > Settings > Year in Review, and turn off Year in Review.
Quais informações os relatórios de uso contêm?
Diversos tipos de dados são coletados. Eles são detalhados em inglês na página sobre eventos registrados. O atraso médio entre fazer uma busca e receber resultados, o número de vezes que o botão "Compartilhar" é usado e o evento de aumentar ou diminuir o tamanho do texto são exemplos de itens que são registrados. Através desses dados, não é possível identificar você. Tudo isso é utilizado para uma melhor compreensão do engajamento do usuário, e nos leva a melhorar os recursos que o aplicativo já oferece.
Por que o aplicativo precisa da permissão de identidade (GET_ACCOUNTS)?
Essa permissão permite que o aplicativo integre sua conta de usuário à Wikipédia. Assim, suas listas de leitura e outras preferências serão sincronizadas entre seus diferentes dispositivos.
Por que o aplicativo precisa da permissão de Fotos/Mídia/Arquivos (WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)?
Essa permissão é necessária para salvar imagens dos seus artigos acessados ao seu dispositivo local. Ela também é necessária para que o aplicativo possa salvar imagens de forma temporária ao compartilhar um artigo em outros aplicativos (como ao construir um cartão de compartilhamento).
Por que o aplicativo precisa da permissão de acesso total à rede (ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE, ACCESS_WIFI_STATE)?
Essa permissão permite que o aplicativo determine o estado e a qualidade de sua conexão com a internet, além de ajustar certos aspectos da performance quando necessário (como ao carregar imagens em baixa qualidade para não comprometer uma conexão limitada).
Por que o aplicativo precisa da permissão de inicialização (inicialização concluída)(RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED)?
O aplicativo fornece um recurso que permite que você receba notificações em seu dispositivo sobre sua conta da Wikipédia, como notificações sobre artigos que você editou, mensagens em sua página de discussão, agradecimentos de outros editores, etc. Isso pode ser ativado se você se autenticar à sua conta e ativar o recebimento de notificações. O serviço que busca por notificações é executado no plano de fundo, e precisa ser reinicializado/ligado de forma automática caso seu dispositivo seja reiniciado/ligado. É por esse motivo que o aplicativo precisa receber o evento indicando que seu dispositivo foi ligado. Se o recurso de recebimento de notificações for desativado, essa permissão não é utilizada para mais nada.
A conexão entre o aplicativo e a Wikipédia é encriptada?
Sim. Todo o tráfego de rede entrando e saindo do aplicativo é feito via HTTPS.
Does the app require Google services?

Eu estou impedido de iniciar sessão (login) ou editar, o que devo fazer? Se você não fez nenhuma edição na Wikipédia, mas ainda está impedido de iniciar sessão (login), criar uma conta ou fazer edições, isso provavelmente significa que seu endereço de protocolo de Internet (I.P.) foi bloqueado, e não "você " especificamente. Quando você usa seu dispositivo em uma rede móvel ou em uma conexão Wi-Fi compartilhada, seu endereço de protocolo de Internet (I.P.) pode ser compartilhado com muitos outros usuários. Esses outros usuários podem ter feito edições que não são construtivas na Wikipédia, o que resultou no bloqueio do endereço de protocolo de Internet (I.P.). Às vezes, um intervalo inteiro de endereços de protocolo de Internet (I.P.) pode ser bloqueado e seu endereço IP pode simplesmente cair nesse intervalo. Além disso, proxies públicos e redes privadas virtuais (V.P.N.) geralmente também são bloqueados. Se o seu endereço de protocolo de Internet (I.P.) estiver bloqueado, tente ingressar através de uma rede Wi-Fi diferente.
Observe que a Fundação Wikimedia não administra o bloqueio de endereços de protocolo de Internet (I.P.); em vez disso, este trabalho é realizado por uma comunidade global de voluntários e administradores. Para obter informações sobre bloqueios e apelos para bloqueios na Wikipédia em inglês, consulte a página de informações em Help! I've been blocked.
My edits are being reverted / I disagree with certain administrative actions
There is no central authority over Wikipedia. The Wikimedia movement is based in part on the premise that good articles are achievable through the checks and balances editors provide for each other. When editors disagree on how to achieve these goals, they must resolve disputes through consensus, drawing on the wider community where necessary. You can read more about the dispute resolution processes on English Wikipedia at w:WP:DR.
How do I report a typo or other error in an article?
Wikipedia is the world's largest encyclopedia that anyone can edit! If you see a typo or other error in an article, click the "pencil" icon or highlight any text and tap "Edit here" from the popup menu. This will show the wikitext of the article which you can then edit and save.
If you make lots of edits, we recommend you log in to your account, so that you can keep track of your work, talk to other editors and join the worldwide Wikimedia community.
I see vandalism in an article. What should I do?
If you see text or images in an article that are clearly vandalism, you can always edit the article by tapping the "pencil" icon to the right of the article section that contains the vandalism. You can then remove the offending text and publish the edited content.
Eu vejo informações que são tendenciosas ou factualmente incorretas. O que devo fazer?
Se você vir um texto em um artigo que pode estar incorreto, tendencioso ou geralmente de baixa qualidade, você pode participar da discussão sobre esse artigo na página de discussão correspondente ao artigo. Você pode acessar a página de discussão rolando até a parte inferior e tocando na ligação (link) "Ver página de discussão".
