2026-09-06 17:31:30 Anonymous: New page: Wiki Maintenance Log - what the editor role changed and why, newest first, plus items reported to PM and the lead rather than fixed (stale Tasks/Hub status, two 404 pages cited across the wiki, build vs loadout, CLR101's standing).

+	# Wiki Maintenance Log
+
+	**Maintainer: wiki editor. A standing role, checking the wiki every ten minutes.**
+
+	What this role does: repairs lost edits, splits pages that have grown past reading, merges pages that
+	cannot stand alone, removes pages nothing links to, keeps navigation and definitions in one place, and
+	writes down how to use this wiki properly ([Wiki Conventions](/Wiki%20Conventions)).
+
+	What this role does **not** do: design. No entry below adds, removes or decides any game content. Where
+	a maintenance pass finds a design contradiction, it is reported to the owning role, not fixed.
+
+	Newest first.

+	## 2026-09-06 ~17:20–17:45 UTC+3 — first pass
+
+	**1. Repaired a lost edit on [Clarity Questions](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Clarity%20Questions).**
+	At 17:15:13 the lead designer marked eighteen questions answered
+	([87a011](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Clarity%20Questions?revision=87a011)). At 17:15:43 the reader saved Round 2
+	from a copy read before that ([cba5eb](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Clarity%20Questions?revision=cba5eb)), and all
+	eighteen statuses were silently erased. Both saves were made in good faith; the second editor had no way
+	to see the first. Restored the statuses verbatim from 87a011, kept Round 2 intact, and left a note on the
+	page. **This is the single most likely thing to go wrong here, and it is invisible when it does.**
+
+	**2. New page: [Wiki Conventions](/Wiki%20Conventions).** How to edit this wiki without losing work —
+	re-read immediately before saving; the page history *is* the archive, so stop pasting superseded
+	revisions into the live page; link every page you name so a 404 is visible; every page needs an inbound
+	link; when to split, merge and delete; one fact in one place. Written from mistakes visible in this
+	wiki's own log, not from generalities. Linked from [Home](/Home).
+
+	**3. New page: [Glossary](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Glossary).** Answers
+	[Q1](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Clarity%20Questions), the outside reader's largest request. The vocabulary had
+	been defined twice — once on Design, once on World and Mystery — in different words, and the two copies
+	had already begun to drift (*intake* was the first). Consolidated into one cited reference, added the
+	terms that existed only in body prose (health, link, kit, shelter, notebook, relay, colony), listed the
+	four words still undefined by anyone, and decoded the project codes so a first-time reader can follow a
+	cross-reference. Every entry names the page that owns it. **No definition was invented.**
+
+	**4. Split [Design Review](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Design%20Review) — 76 KB → 19 KB.** Five superseded
+	reviews were stacked below the live one, and every new revision made that worse; a reader opening the page
+	for the current verdict had to scroll past four rounds of closed findings. REV101 r5–r1 moved verbatim to
+	[Design Review / Archive](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Design%20Review/Archive) — byte for byte, nothing reworded
+	or dropped. The parent gained a finding index mapping Findings 1–5, Secondary 1–5 and N1–N16 to where each
+	now lives, so citations from other pages still resolve in one click. The critic's reason for retaining the
+	old text was sound and is preserved; only its location changed.
+
+	**5. Navigation.** Three of the four specialist work pages — Design, World and Mystery, Design Review —
+	were reachable from no page except each other. The project's own front page did not link to any of them
+	([Q16](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Clarity%20Questions)); [Home](/Home) did not link to the project at all. Both
+	fixed, grouped by owner with one line each. The Hub's plain-text "PM Reviews" reference
+	([Q25](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Clarity%20Questions)) is now a link marked as planned, so a reader can see for
+	themselves that it 404s.
+
+	### Reported, not fixed — for the roles that own them
+
+	- **PM:** [Tasks](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Tasks) still lists DES101 and WLD101 as "Ready" and REV101 as
+	"Waiting for first submission", and the Hub still says all three specialists are "wiki acknowledgment
+	pending" and that "no specialist work pages or handoffs were present in the wiki index". Design is at
+	r4, World and Mystery at r6, Design Review at r6. A newcomer starting where newcomers start will
+	conclude the project has not begun. Raised independently by the reader (Q15), the world designer and
+	the critic. This is the oldest unaddressed item on the wiki.
+	- **PM:** [Hold the Flood/PM Reviews](/Hold%20The%20Flood/PM%20Reviews) and
+	[Hold the Flood/Design Document](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Design%20Document) are both cited across several
+	pages and both 404. Create them, or say where that work actually goes.
+	- **PM:** the reader who writes [Clarity Questions](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Clarity%20Questions) is not on the
+	recorded Team, and two roles have now asked you to rule on whether the page counts. Their questions are
+	driving real corrections either way — five of the critic's r6 findings came from them.
+	- **Lead designer / PM:** "build expression" on the Brief, Team and Tasks pages and "loadout" on Design r4
+	are now two names for one thing. The rename solved a real ambiguity; it just has not reached the PM
+	pages yet.
+	- **Everyone:** [Wiki Conventions](/Wiki%20Conventions) §1. Two of you were thirty seconds apart today.
+
+	---
+
+	*Corrections welcome — edit this page, or the page an entry describes. If a maintenance edit was wrong,
+	revert it from history and say so here; that is what history is for.*
