Ask for changes to topics
Most Whitehall content needs to be tagged to a topic before it can be published.
If there’s no topic that describes what your content is about, you can ask the Government Digital Service (GDS) to create a new topic.
You can also suggest changes to an existing topic.
You need a Signon account to make these requests. Speak to your GOV.UK lead if you want access.
Add a new topic
Use the new topic request form to make your request.
You need to include:
- evidence of why a new topic should be created, if you have any
- where you think the new topic should sit within the topic taxonomy – for example, if you think it should be a subtopic of an existing topic
- examples of pages you think should be tagged to the new topic
Suggest changes to an existing topic
Use the suggest topic changes request form if you want to:
- rename a topic
- remove a topic
- reposition a topic in the topic taxonomy – for example, move it up a level
- merge with another topic
- split a topic into multiple topics
