How do we get in touch with those who can edit the Wiki?
General overall question, while we are browsing the Wiki when we find mistakes, can add better sources and even add information; how do we contact someone with rights to edit these pages?
One in particular is https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Langlade_County,_Wisconsin_Genealogy, where no source is given under Boundary Changes for the 1880 change when New County was renamed Langlade County. The actual date of this event is 20 Feb 1880 under Wis. Laws, 1880, ch. 19, secs. 1-2/p23. Langlade County also has boundary changes on 19 Feb 1881, 27 Mar 1885 and 14 Apr 1885 where the boundary was changed to what it looks like today. I have the laws to cite as sources for these changes.
I have a lot of other historical information about this county and communities within. I'm working on writing a history of Deerbrook, Langlade County, Wisconsin located 6 miles north of Antigo.
I am the developer of AniMap 4.0 and have massive amounts of data on county boundary changes with laws and specific dates. At my level of access I am unable to provide this information and would like to share it with FamilySearch.

@Andy Allord thanks for Animap resource! I like to use it for North Carolina especially. If it could be integrated into the FamilySearch wikis for states I think that would be great!

@genthusiast Thank you for your compliment on AniMap!
That is why I'm hoping I can find some contact information. AniMap 3.0.2 is a great resource. When I met with Mark (one of the developers sons) and discussed creating version 4.0 we included work from John Long's Atlas of Historical County Boundaries with some research tools and a more intuitive user experience than Newberry's archives of the project.

@Andy Allord FYI I did see another county boundary/formation map solution on a State wiki or State record catalog page here in FamilySearch - so I don't know if they have already integrated with that solution. But in my opinion you can't have too many maps.
In addition the wiki pages I believe still allow you to become an editor/contributor - I would try to locate that function (sorry in phone in lunch break or I would try to reference it).
