# Want a new ZIM file? Propose ZIM content improvements or fixes? Here you are!

To request a new zim file from a website you know

• Click Issues on the top menu bar, and then on the green New Issue button.
• In the new window, click on Get Started: a pre-filled form will appear.
• Write the title of your request (that is, the target website) in the title field, e.g. Examplepedia.com
• Replace Website URL: https://xxx with the URL for the website you want to submit, e.g. https://www.examplepedia.com
• You must clarify the License field, e.g. Creative Commons, Public domain, or any other licensing format. Do NOT request copyrighted material.
• In Desired ZIM Title: Put a clear & short title, this will be the title that will appear in the Library.
• In Desired ZIM Description: put a short description of the content. This will also appear in the library (ideally max 60 characters)
• In Desired ZIM Icon –png, put your icon URL, e.g., (https://examplepedia.com/example_icon.png).
• In Language indicate the website's language ISO code, e.g.: eng for English.
• Finally, indicate whether this is a mediawiki-based website or not.
• After submitting the issue, we will create the corresponding recipe on the zimfarm and, if everything works then the zim file will automatically be added to the library once the recipe is successful and no issues have been noticed.
• In case the recipe didn't work, we will investigate and keep the recipe for later fixes so you needn't open a new request.
