If a page is protected and locked from editing by normal users, please use that page's Discussion tab to propose simple or obvious changes. This makes it straightforward for a manager or director to copy the wiki code, if provided. More complex discussions about page content typically occur on the EVE Uni #wiki [[Discord]] channel or [https://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewforum.php?f=54 in the Forums]. | If a page is protected and locked from editing by normal users, please use that page's Discussion tab to propose simple or obvious changes.
