# For providers

How to correct a record, how to get a missing provider added, and the badge a listed provider can display.

Nothing here is for sale. A record exists because a provider meets the scope test.

## Correcting a record

Every record is one markdown file. The **Edit on GitHub** link at the bottom of a record page opens it; saving opens a pull request. No checkout, no build.

- **Cite it.** Anything not obvious from the home page needs a `sources` entry: a URL and the date it was read.
- **Leave unknowns blank.** An absent field means nobody has checked. It renders as `?` and is deliberate.
- **Disclose the relationship.** Contributors paid by a provider say so in the pull request. That applies to us too.

The alphabetical order, the absence of ratings and the ♥️ do not change on request. Records are never deleted; a provider that would rather not appear can ask to move beside the register.

## Adding a provider

The register is incomplete; a missing name usually means nobody has got to it yet. Write the record — one file, four required fields, one pull request — or name it in an issue and leave the fields to whoever picks it up. A provider failing one of the six criteria still gets a record carrying the number it failed on, and most of those reverse once the evidence appears.

- [Name a provider we are missing](https://github.com/fortrabbit/findhost/issues/new?template=add-provider.yml)

## The badge

Listed providers are welcome to display a small **Listed on FindHost** badge. It says a record exists and nothing more, and it cannot be bought. We would be glad if you took it.
