How can I suggest corrections to a Help article?

(Posting this under Family Tree because the article in question is about name fields in the Tree.)

https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/what-are-the-different-parts-of-a-persons-name

This (rather very new) Help article has several errors in it, centered around its apparent ignorance of linguistic or cultural differences in name usage. In particular, it appears to be oblivious to the fact that not all languages put surnames last, and that not all cultures change a woman's surname (and only a woman's surname) upon marriage.

I do not see a "Feedback" tab on the page, and the Feedback link in the footer just comes here to Community. How can I alert the Powers That Be that they're stating falsehoods in this Help article?

    Thank you, Amy.

    I must admit that I've been burned so often by the Help Center's search that I didn't even try it before posting this question. I just now tried pasting my topic title into the search field, and it did actually turn up the article you referenced. It's third on the list, after something about indexing and something about blogs and FHCs, but it's there.
