Thefeedback request service is a voluntary service to increase awareness ofRequests for Comments (RFCs) and other discussions on Wikipedia. This page has a number of lists organized by topic followed by acatch-all list.
By signing up in the section of your interest, you may be randomly selected to receive auser talk page invitation to participate in a discussion in that topic area. If you receive an invitation, you don't need to participate if you do not wish to; if you don't want to receive similar invitations in future, you may remove your name from the list for that topic area. Of course, you are free to participate in any RFC without receiving an invitation!
To make yourself a recipient of the service, copy the template below and then place it in each list below for which you wish to receive a notification of RFCs for that topic area:
{{frs user|{{subst:currentuser}}|limit}}Wherecurrentuser is your username, andlimit is the maximum number of requests you would like to receive in a calendar month. The default limit is1 request per calendar month.
| This user is signed up for theFeedback Request Service. |
{{User frs}}You might also wish to use therelevant userbox to promote the service. If you don't visit Wikipedia regularly, you might wish to use theEmail notification system for messages on your user talk page.
If you are getting Feedback Request Service notifications in your talk page, then someone (probably you) added you to one of the "Requests for comment" or "Good article nominations" lists below. If you wish to stop receiving these notifications, simply remove your username from the below topics you are no longer interested in, or remove your username from all of them to completely unsubscribe.
Inactive editors are automatically removed from the list.
A bot will randomly select users to notify. This function is currently performed byUser:SodiumBot (as of 2025BRFA[update]), which requires functions fromLegobotTask 33. You cancheck the bot's contributions to see if it's working.
These categories are determined by the RFC system, not by the FRS bot. If the editor starting the RFC assigns the wrong category to it, then other users may receive a notification for something that does not interest them.
