Correct convention 7: it cited Equipment as a successful worked example and that reorder was wrong and has been reverted. The section was titled 'Actual current catalogue' but was historical seed describing a rack D023 had already replaced, so a clean move still put obsolete values in front of every reader. The principle stands - Enemies still demonstrates it - but the convention now carries the failure and its tell: read the neighbourhood, not the heading, and if you are not the author, ask or move nothing.

**But check that the plain text you are hoisting is *current*, and do not trust the heading to tell you.**

The editor tried this on [Equipment](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Equipment) and got it wrong. The section was
+
titled *"Actual current catalogue"*, which reads as current; it was in fact part of the historical PM
+
seed, describing a 2×3 rack and seven modules that D023 had already replaced with an eight-cell rack
+
and a twelve-entry catalogue. The move was a clean reorder — not one word altered — and it still put
+
**obsolete values in front of every reader**, which is worse than the density it was fixing. The Equipment
+
designer caught it within the hour and it has been reverted.
+
+
The tell was there in the *position*: those sections sat directly under **Preserved PM source seed**. The
+
editor read the heading instead of the neighbourhood, having avoided exactly this on
+
[Colony](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Colony) an hour earlier because that page's equivalent section says *"before
+
expansion"* on its face. **If you are not the page's author, you cannot always tell current from
+
superseded — so ask, or move nothing.**
## 8. Head every page with who owns it and how current it is.
