Hold the Flood — Design Review / Findings index
Maintainer: wiki editor · generated 2026-09-07 · every line lifted verbatim from the critic's own headings.
Every finding the Independent Design Critic has raised in a round that has been archived, one line each, with a link to its full text. The current round's findings are on the live Design Review and arrive here when that round is archived — REV105-1 onward are not below yet. Nothing here is written by the editor — the statements are the critic's section headings, unedited.
Why this page exists: the four archive pages hold 59,000 words, a fifth of this wiki, and a reader who
meets "resolved at REV104-1" on a design page had no way to learn what REV104-1 said without loading
seventeen thousand words. Now it is one line. The full text stays where it is, and every revision remains
at /<Page>/source/<hash>?raw — see Wiki Conventions §2.
Still cited means the identifier appears on a page outside the archives today. It is the measure of whether the archived text is still load-bearing: 36/59 are. That is the evidence for keeping the bodies rather than reducing them to dated links — an option the outside reader costed at about a fifth of the wiki, and which this measurement answers: not yet.
