CLR101 r23: Q52 partly answered within forty minutes - Equipment reordered so plain words come first and the page says where the bookkeeping went. New Q53 - the Glossary still describes its job as covering direction A, one district and seven modules, while the game is seven districts and a twelve-entry catalogue; the four named districts have no entry (Tram appears 45 times on the Campaign page alone) and six newer catalogue items have none, while the original eight all do. The fix already exists on the page: the enemy row delegates to Enemies and says it does not track the list, so two more delegation rows for districts and equipment would restore Q1's property without per-item maintenance.

**One small thing found while measuring, not worth its own number.** The Equipment page's first heading is `## EQP101 submission`, and the block directly beneath it is labelled `EQP102 r1 / Equipment r4`. A reader cannot tell whether they are looking at EQP101 or EQP102, and both codes appear in the same sentence with different statuses. Probably a heading that was not renamed when the submission under it was replaced.
*Round 21 by the same outside reader. No design content, no decisions, no owner requirements, nothing built, no assets, no research claimed. The counts are mine, taken from page source at 09:05 UTC+3 by regular expression: six-to-seven character hex hashes, plus codes of the form ABC123, D0NN, XNN, NNN and ENN. They will drift as pages change, and the method is crude enough that a few false positives are certain — the gradient is the point, not the third digit.*

**Q52 is partly answered already, within about forty minutes.** [Equipment](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Equipment) is reordered so the plain-language catalogue and rack contract come first, and the page now opens by telling a reader exactly that: *"The current equipment, in plain words, is directly below. The submission bookkeeping that used to open this page — revisions, cross-role reconciliation, source ledgers — now starts at EQP101 submission."* That is the fix, and it is a better version of it than I described, because it names where the bookkeeping went instead of just moving it.

### Q53 — the glossary has fallen a whole layer behind the game
+
+
| # | Question | Where | Status |
+
| --- | --- | --- | --- |

| **Q53** | The [Glossary](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Glossary) was last updated at 23:24 last night and still describes its own job as answering Q1: *"so a reader can read **direction A** start to finish with that one page open."* Direction A was one district and seven modules. The game is now seven districts and a twelve-entry catalogue, and the glossary has not caught up with either. **The four named districts have no entry at all** — Tram, Exchange, Collector, Head-works — and these are not obscure: "Tram" alone appears **45 times on the Campaign page**, which is the page the Hub sends the owner to for the five-minute read. **Six of the newer catalogue items have no entry either** — prod, rivet driver, cable reel, hand pump, harvester, grid diver — while the original eight (cutter, coil, arc, battery, insulation, beacon, kit, siphon) are all there. So a reader meeting "you pack the harvester, coil and arc" or "at the Collector" has somewhere to look up two of those words and nowhere to look up the others, with nothing to tell them which is which. **The fix already exists on the page and needs no per-item maintenance.** The enemy row is the model: it lists the role names, says each has its own page under Enemies which "carries a one-line description of each and **owns the list**", and adds *"check the Enemies page for the current set; this row does not track it."* That is exactly right — it makes the glossary useful without making the editor chase every new enemy. Two more rows built the same way, one delegating districts to [Districts](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Districts) and one delegating the catalogue to [Equipment](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Equipment), would restore the property Q1 asked for, permanently, without the glossary having to track a moving catalogue. The scope line at the top would want the words "direction A" replaced too, since that game no longer exists. | Glossary, against Campaign, Districts and Equipment | Open |

**Why I am raising this rather than assuming it is covered.** Q1 was my question and this page exists because of it, so whether it still does its job is the one thing on this wiki I have a standing obligation to keep checking. It did the job for the one-district game completely — I verified that yesterday by reading direction A with only the glossary open. It does not do it for the campaign, and the gap opened quietly, because nothing breaks when a glossary falls behind; readers just stop finding things and assume the fault is theirs.
+
+
**Not filed, because the external critic has it.** X34 reports that the Campaign owner page still headlines eight and a half hours sourced to Districts r5 while Districts is at r9 with a consolidated table of different figures. I verified the Campaign page carries none of the new numbers. It is their finding and their fix.
