ଛାଞ୍ଚ:Dispute-resolution Requests for comment (RfC) is an informal, lightweight process for requesting outside input, and dispute resolution, with respect to article content, user conduct, and Wikipedia policy and guidelines.
Please note that there are other dispute resolution alternatives, notably the third opinion for disputes involving two editors as well as the reliable sources noticeboard and the neutral point of view noticeboard.
A list of all current RFCs can be found at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/All (WP:RFC/A).
An archive of (selected) past RFCs can be found at Wikipedia:Centralized discussion/Archive.
All editors (including anonymous or IP users) are welcome to provide comment or opinion, and to assist in reaching agreements, by responding to requests for comment.

You could use the RfC posting tool, or:

.~~~~
Consider creating a separate section for threaded replies so the initial comments section does not become bogged down.As an alternative to request comment through talk pages, you may do so through Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Request board. Follow the directions on that page, and your request will be transferred to an appropriate location.
Below is an example of how a completed RFC template in the "hist" category and associated section heading might appear in a discussion page edit box before saving.
==RfC: Is Photo in History section relevant==
{{rfctag|hist}}
Is the photograph in the "History" section relevant to the article? ~~~~
The bot will place all of the text before the signature line (which can be ~~~~ [sign with your name] or ~~~~~ [only the date]) onto the RfC page. If the description is more than a couple of sentences long, please provide a very brief summary, sign it (so the bot will list only that summary), and then continue with longer comments afterwards (which you should also sign with your name, although they will not be placed on the centralized RfC pages).
If you feel as though you cannot describe the dispute neutrally, ask someone else to write a summary for you. You can also do your best, and invite others to improve your question or summary later.
If you are not certain in which area an issue belongs, pick the one that is closest, or inquire on Wikipedia talk:Requests for comment.
If an issue clearly overlaps two areas, you can list them both in the same tag; for example, an issue involving the history of science could be listed as {{Rfctag|hist|sci}}.

A user-conduct RfC is for discussing specific users who have violated Wiki policies and guidelines. Carefully read the following before filing an RfC.
The list of user conduct RfCs (along with a brief statement of the behaviors in dispute) are transcluded at the top of the Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard to encourage wide participation. Separate postings at the noticeboard that announce user conduct RfCs should generally be avoided.
RfCs that are listed by the RfC bot are also automatically ended by the RfC bot after thirty days (calculated from the first timestamp after the RfC template). If consensus has been reached before then, the RfC nominator(s) can remove the RfC tag, and the bot will remove the discussion from the list on its next run. If further time is wanted, any editor can change the first timestamp to a more recent date, which will prevent the bot from removing the listing.
Manually added RfCs must be manually closed. This is accomplished by deleting the text that you added from the RfC page.
All requests for comment on a user need to be closed manually. This should be done by an uninvolved editor (not necessarily an admin) when the dispute has been resolved, moved to any other forum, or seems unlikely to be resolved.
