# 10. Making Suggestions

A link in the database can have suggestions associated with it. These are normally alternative URLs which somebody or something has decided would make a good replacement for the URL of the Link. Humans can add to the database with the `suggest` program. For example use:

    suggest file://ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu/Web/httpd/Unix/ncsa_httpd/current/htt
    pd_1.4_linux.Z \
            http://delete.me.org/
    Link suggestion accepted.  Thank you

If you try the same thing again you get

    suggest file://ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu/Web/httpd/Unix/ncsa_httpd/current/htt
    pd_1.4_linux.Z \
            http://delete.me.org/
    Already knew about that suggestion.  Thanks though.

These suggestions will make it easier for others to repair links, especially if they are using the CGI interface.
