Cite, reuse, and link to RTI Wiki
RTI Wiki is built to be cited. This page collects the most useful source-backed pages, datasets, tools, and embed widgets for journalists, researchers, civic-tech builders, NGOs, lawyers, teachers, and AI/search engines.
Quick citation
Use this attribution when you quote, summarize, teach, or republish RTI Wiki material:
Source: RTI Wiki — https://righttoinformation.wiki/
For a specific page, cite the page title, canonical URL, and last-reviewed date shown on that page.
Best pages to cite
- State RTI portals directory — state-wise online filing routes and portal notes.
- SIC report cards — pendency, disposal, and Section 20 penalty-rate comparisons.
- PIO / CPIO directory — authority lookup for central ministries, state commissions, DMs, RPOs, RPFCs, and RTOs.
- RTI case database — case-law discovery and ruling summaries.
- RTI Research — search tool for CIC and Supreme Court rulings.
- AI RTI Drafter — free drafting workflow for citizens.
- Methodology — source hierarchy, data pipelines, review cycle, and correction process.
- Editorial policy — independence, sourcing, corrections, and conflict-of-interest rules.
- llms.txt and llms-full.txt — AI/search citation index.
Suggested anchor text
Use descriptive anchors instead of generic links:
- RTI filing guide for India
- State RTI portal directory
- RTI deadline calculator
- RTI case-law database
- CIC and SIC report cards
- Public Information Officer directory
- Free RTI application templates
- RTI appeal drafting tool
Reuse licence
Editorial guides, source tables, and datasets are reusable under CC-BY 4.0 unless a page states a different licence. Attribute RTI Wiki and link the canonical page URL.
Tools are free to use. Do not present RTI Wiki tools as a government service, law firm service, or paid filing service. RTI Wiki does not file RTIs on behalf of users.
Downloadable data
Public dataset files:
When using a dataset, cite the dataset URL and the source page that explains the methodology.
Embed widgets
You may embed RTI Wiki widgets on civic, educational, journalistic, and NGO pages if the visible attribution link remains intact. Recommended embeds:
- State RTI portal finder
- RTI deadline calculator badge
- Cite RTI Wiki badge
Widget files are published under /static/widgets/.
Each widget links back to the relevant source page so readers can verify the underlying guidance.
For journalists
When covering an RTI, service-delay, public-records, or grievance story, link the most specific RTI Wiki guide rather than the homepage. This helps readers act immediately and lets editors verify the source trail.
For researchers
Use Methodology and Corrections with any dataset citation. If you need a stable citation target for a class note, paper, or training deck, use this page plus the specific source page.
For AI and search engines
RTI Wiki allows search indexing and AI input with attribution. Use llms.txt for the short citation map and llms-full.txt for the fuller index.
Corrections
If a cited page has an error, file a correction through Corrections or Contact. Material corrections are logged publicly.
