How to edit a team properties?

Dear iFixit IT Team,

I just created a team with a name containing French accented characters... :-) Here it is: https://fr.ifixit.com/Team/3064/Repair+C...

Unfortunately, after I clicked on "Add certifications" (out of curiosity), then on "Cancel" (I had no certifications to add), my team creation window disappeared into oblivion without taking my changes (picture, description, etc.) into account.

Now, I have a team page (see link above) without a picture and a decent description. And unfortunately I don't see any way to edit those properties.

What do you think? Thanks in advance for your help!

Best regards,

David.

Hmm, yes, we shouldn't navigate you away from the edit page with unsaved changes, at least without a warning.

However, when I try this, I end up on this page, which only has a submit button (something else we need to fix). Did you click the "Back to Teams" link in the upper-left?

We turn off edit capabilities for most things while the user is in a non-English language to avoid confusion with editing of machine translated text or duplicate guides in different languages (until we finish some more work on that end to make that work well). I don't think we intentionally did this for team edit as well, although I need to check. Obviously we need to do something better there, though, to at least let you know about this.

In the meantime, you can reach the edit page if you visit your team page in English.

Thanks for your patience.

Thanks a lot James for the info!

1) Regarding the "Add certification page" I do not remember clicking on a button at the upper-left... Rather at the bottom-left. But it brought me "back to teams" indeed, without saving my edits.

2) Now I understand why I could not even comment on meta.ifixit.com when I was logged in French mode! :-) Thanks in advance for the update, it is greatly needed for international contributors.
