'''How the ICE List works &mdash; from a tip to a published record.'''

Every piece of information follows the same path, so the record stays accurate and verifiable: '''submitted''' by the public &rarr; '''routed''' by a volunteer &rarr; '''reviewed''' by an admin &rarr; '''published'''. Now that pending-changes review is live, nothing a volunteer writes reaches the public until a reviewer for that area signs off.

== How to use it ==
'''If you're a volunteer:''' log in, then work the [[:Category:Submission review|submission queue]] or just add information on any page. Your edits get a &ldquo;pending review&rdquo; tag and wait for a reviewer &mdash; you don't need to do anything else, just do good, sourced work.

'''If you're a reviewer:''' go to the [[ICE List:Review|reviewer hub]], open your area's '''pending changes''', read the change, and '''Accept''' it to publish (or leave a note). Your two accounts are the gate for your lane.

'''If you're a member of the public:''' everything you see has already been reviewed. To help, use [[ICE List:Contribute|Contribute]] &mdash; your identity is never recorded.
