A kind soul has added 8 new profiles to the Wiki and has updated 2 others. Thanks to these updates, we have expanded our available profiles by nearly 50% and have added more than 10 new profile names to the "needed" list.
To whomever made these updates: please PM me here so I can verify these profiles. If you wish to remain anonymous, I absolutely promise to keep your FT handle secret... I just need to know that these profiles came from a "reputable" source rather than someone trying to put false info online.
Also, when you add new profiles, please ensure that you link them to the profile category. This is another reason to PM me - if you can't link them, at least I'll know to make those edits for you, so that your hard work doesn't go unnoticed!

Awesome. When possible, please link back to united.com or to FT as "references," especially if talking about specifics like fees, policies, etc. It's always helpful to have the "official" word available. I'll try to go through some of the articles to do that, as well, though my first priority is reorganizing the profile entries... they're hard to read.

Just a heads-up that 11 more S* profiles have been posted to the wiki. The source is deliberately anonymous, as I'm sure all will understand, but I vouch for his/her credibility.

Thanks so much for all this useful information !
It's good to know the policies so that we are aware of the rules that apply. Especially in times where agents seem to make up their own rules so often just because of incompetence to stay updated.

In this holiday week, I'd like to give thanks to all of those who have helped us to improve the UA wiki. The added articles are really a great boon to those who are looking for information.
I'd like to take this opportunity to renew the call for contributions - we are still woefully short on articles and there is a lot of information out there that should be on the wiki. All articles in red on the page still need to be created, and I'm sure there are others that aren't even mentioned on the page.
We're also still in need of more S* policy profiles, so if anyone has access to those and feels like sharing, please do! If you don't want to add them to the wiki yourself for privacy concerns, feel free to PM me with the profile text and I'll take care of adding it.
Have a wonderful holiday, for all those who celebrate it, and a happy non-holiday to the rest of you.

Thanks, although there already was an "ORD (UA)" page... it's even linked from the United page. Do you want to merge your new page with that one? Your page is simply named "ORD" and a general ORD page is probably a great idea, but should not be UA-specific.
All of your edits are great, but they should probably be merged with the ORD (UA) page... I'll probably take care of that at some point when I have time, though I don't know when that will be so feel free to do it before me if you're up for it.
I had created it since there was a deadlink in the UA front page opening paragraph and it seemed necessary. It turns out the others were linked to Generic or AA-themed pages.
a) I have fixed the opening paragraph refers to the (UA) pages.
b) merged ORD into ORD (UA) with the old (UA) as the Key Information section at the top of the page
c)severely truncated the non-UA ORD page I created
d) I also created an Economy Plus page last weekend, which still has a bit of sawdust...

I've added an entry for co-terminals, to hopefully explain what the heck that term means in relatively plain English. (I was inspired by the recent addition of a similar article to the AA wiki.) The wiki still needs a lot more work... I hope more FTers will consider adding new articles and/or improving existing ones.

That's not a font problem more than the fact that the section headers are one level too big. Easily fixed. Most of the pages are properly formatted.
I've reformatted the award redemption page, too... but that page needs some major work, anyway. The content needs to be rewritten from the ground up, especially since some of it is out of date.

Someone (not sure who) recently created the articles describing CR-1s and SWUs. Thanks! I've cleaned up those articles for consistency and formatting, and edited the info for clarity and focus, but thanks for doing most of the legwork!
We're slowly but surely improving this thing... I really hope it can one day replace the OP of the FAQ thread.

That was me. I tried to cite the sources as best as I could. I will try to add more.
