Inconsistent iFixit forum documention pages.

Hi!

When I was about to chime in and answer a recent question here on Meta, I found out that we have multiple documentation/help pages for the same thing, but they contain inconsistent information. These are the two reputation documentation pages:

• URL path: Help/Reputation
• URL path: Wiki/Reputation

They list inconsistent reputation scores. Could we update the pages so they align and the information is clearer?

• The /Help/Reputation page describes that one can comment, and flag comments.
• The /Wiki/Reputation page describes that one can:
  • Flag a comment (same).
  • Flag a post (not same, 30 rep according to the /Help/Reputation page)
  • Vote on moderator actions (not same, 100 rep according to the /Help/Reputation page)

• The Help/Reputation page describes that one can:
  • Archive a question at 5,000 rep.
  • Delete a question/answer at 20,000.
• The Wiki/Reputation page describes that one can:
  • Archive/close a question at 5,000 rep (same).
  • Delete a question at 5,000 rep (not same).

According to the /Help/Reputation documentation, one needs 1,000 reputation to edit a Wiki category. However, that wording is a bit unclear, does that mean one can:

• Edit, approve, and patrol a (re-)categorization at 1,000 reputation?
  • For example, neither I (> 1K rep) nor Sparky (> 1K rep) can approve/patrol categorizations.
• Make a categorization request?
  • I could categorize my own and other users device pages when I had less than 1K rep. (Reference: I earned 1K rep by the end of February, 2026)

Then the How to Organize Device Categories guide mentions in the Introduction area that "To edit a device or device categories category, you must have >1,000 reputation.", which matches the /Help/Reputation documentation page. However, Step #2 in the guide describes that "An iFixit Admin will have to approve your category suggestion.", which leaves me a bit unsure about what the introduction is meant to indicate.

So, there are multiple documentation pages, that either:

• Contain unclear wording.
• Has inconsistent information compared to one another.

Could we update the pages so they align, and make the information clearer?

Thank you for all the hard work that goes into keeping these pages up to date! All of you are so awesome!

Thanks a lot,

Cheers
