# Editing An Issue

In Junkipedia, [an issue](/reference-material/glossary.md#issue) is a collection of information about a piece of social media [content that Junkipedia is tracking](/getting-started/reporting-and-documenting-misinformation.md#issues-represent-tracked-content).

### Semi-Automated Assignment Of Tips To Issues

If you submit a tip from within Junkipedia, it will automatically add the tip to an existing issue if a match is found. This match is established by comparing the link submitted in the tip. A new issue will automatically be created if no match to an existing issue is found.

If a tip received via a tipline is subject to review and contains a link that does not match any existing issue, no new issue will be created until the tip has been approved in the review process. A new issue will be created upon approval.

This automated process requires some manual assistance. When a new issue is automatically generated from a tip, just a few of the issue fields are populated. Enriching the issue with more information is a manual process that relies on working with the [The "Edit Issue" Form](/getting-started/reporting-and-documenting-misinformation/editing-an-issue/the-edit-issue-form.md) described in an article that follows. It is also possible for the automated process to fail to recognize an appropriate match between a tip and an existing issue when the URLs are not an exact match even when both URLs lead to the same content. In such a case, the it is possible to manually[ add a tip to to an issue](/getting-started/reporting-and-documenting-misinformation/editing-an-issue/adding-more-tips-to-an-issue.md). It is not really a problem if redundant issues are created for two tips that nearly duplicate each other when they are connected to the same narrative.

### Issue Details And "Edit Issue" Button&#x20;

There are several places in Junkipedia that display lists of issues such as those described in [Reviewing Tracked Content](/getting-started/reviewing-tracked-content.md). From any page displaying a list of issues, click the title of an issue to open a page focused on details for that issue. This details page contains an "Edit Issue" button that will take you to [The "Edit Issue" Form](/getting-started/reporting-and-documenting-misinformation/editing-an-issue/the-edit-issue-form.md).
