Can a request to correct an indexed error be made?

Is there a way to submit a request to correct an indexed record with a male/female error or name spelling error for a collection that is not yet editable? I have found a few Italian language records indexed incorrectly. A few people use the index without looking at the original record an make numerous assumptions from that resulting in further errors in the public tree that are difficult to correct and document. It would be easier to fix the index in the first place.

    @Cousin Vinny Start with those with the most egregious errors. It will be best if you put them in a format of "here's what's wrong" and "here's what it should be" and with links, of course.

    Well phooey, they're all from all the new AI field-indexed records that you can no longer see. 😔
