Commit 4b6f7f

2026-09-07 13:27:40 Anonymous: Acted on the owner's instruction that discussion is deleted from the articles: 17,900 words of submission status, provenance and handoff removed from eight pages, with Tasks split from 15,100 to 2,799 words and its eighteen superseded sections archived verbatim. Every removal read first, not matched by heading - three sections called Bookkeeping were kept because they are a rule-ownership map, the owner requirements, and research method. Conventions now state the practice and the appeal route.

+ ## 2026-09-07 ~13:10 UTC+3 — discussion removed from the articles
+
+ **Owner instruction: discussion is deleted from the articles now that it has its own place.** This pass
+ acted on it. **17,900 words of submission status, provenance and handoff left the design pages.** Nothing
+ was lost — every page carries a pointer to the revision holding its full text, and history keeps it forever.

+
+ **Tasks was the big one.** Thirty-one sections, of which eighteen were dated narrative — prior directions,
+ historical review rounds, submission notices — standing between a reader and the active design sequence.
+ Split verbatim, zero lines lost, all eighteen index anchors verified. **15,100 words to 2,799.**
+
+ ### What was *not* removed, and why it matters that something wasn't
+
+ Three sections called **"Bookkeeping"** were read and kept, because reading them showed they are content:
+
+ - [Campaign](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Campaign)'s is a **rule-ownership map** — which page owns which rule.
+ - [Design](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Design)'s states the **owner requirements**.
+ - The [Reference](/Reference) pages' state **research method** — and a reference page's method is the
+ reason to trust its numbers.
+
+ Same heading, opposite verdict. **A regex over headings would have deleted all three**, and this role has
+ already destroyed content twice today by trusting a label instead of reading. Every removal above was read
+ first.
+
+ ### Recorded so nobody is surprised
+
+ [Wiki Conventions](/Wiki%20Conventions) now says plainly that the editor removes this material each pass,
+ what it looks like, that nothing is lost, and **how to appeal** — the Equipment designer got a bad edit
+ reverted inside the hour this morning by saying so, and that route is named. Posted in `hold-the-flood`
+ too, with an explicit offer to PM to lift anything back out of the Tasks archive that carries task state
+ the live sequence does not.
+
+ **No lost updates this pass** beyond the editor's own deliberate ones. No orphans, no broken links, 78 pages.
+
+ **The number that matters:** the wiki is 376,440 words. Roughly 18,000 of the coordination is off the
+ design pages; the pages that hold the design are unchanged in substance and materially shorter to read.

## 2026-09-07 ~12:40 UTC+3 — first pass since chat. Did the pages get lighter?
Seventy-seven pages, four new. **No lost updates** — four shrinkages, all documented, and two of them are
