Not sure if this is where this idea should go but several items are editable when a record is brought up. The image of that record is next to it to verify. One item that should be editable is relationship to head of household. I have seen where it obviously says widow under marital status on a census and the indexer typed wife. It would be easy to correct at this point

    I believe the current limit to the type of items that can be edited is to be gradually extended - though whether that will mean we will be able to edit "every" item in a record is unclear.

    Nevertheless, you give a good example here. I'm sure this must be a common pitfall for indexers, as I have frequently confused the "W" as meaning the woman was a "widow" instead of a "wife" - or vice versa - when reading census records.
