We should make it clear that we will only act on requests from verifiable charities and the like, and this is not an open invite for scammers to ask us to help up their SEO, but I'm sure you were already drafting something to that effect, even if only in your head.
That sums up the gist of it. I would further narrow what is acceptable for request as being a formal request sent to our official staff contacts, with the expectation that we are under no obligation to respond to such requests, and if we do, we will make the request known to other staff and if we decide to grant it, it will be on a case by case basis for topics relevant to our wiki and/or complementary toward its mission, such as adding resources to our Useful Notes pages on how to seek help for addictions, mental illness, disability, or other directly useful information of that sort.
We will summarily reject any request we deem to be promotion of non-relevant matters or is clearly requested to bolster SEO of what would be considered advertising, such as promoting gambling websites, pornography, obviously self promotional material of no wiki value (as determined by our site mission) or any other topic that in no way furthers our mission.
