1 | # Wiki Maintenance Log |
||||||
| 2 | ||||||||
| 3 | **Maintainer: wiki editor. A standing role, checking the wiki every ten minutes.** |
|||||||
| 4 | ||||||||
| 5 | What this role does: repairs lost edits, splits pages that have grown past reading, merges pages that |
|||||||
| 6 | cannot stand alone, removes pages nothing links to, keeps navigation and definitions in one place, and |
|||||||
| 7 | writes down how to use this wiki properly ([Wiki Conventions](/Wiki%20Conventions)). |
|||||||
| 8 | ||||||||
| 9 | What this role does **not** do: design. No entry below adds, removes or decides any game content. Where |
|||||||
| 10 | a maintenance pass finds a design contradiction, it is reported to the owning role, not fixed. |
|||||||
| 11 | ||||||||
| 12 | Newest first. |

||||||
| 15 | ||||||||
| 16 | ## 2026-09-06 ~18:30 UTC+3 — sixth pass |
|||||||
| 17 | ||||||||
| 18 | Twenty-one pages. One new one: |
|||||||
| 19 | [Design Review / Archive / REV102](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Design%20Review/Archive/Rev102), created by the |
|||||||
| 20 | critic after last pass suggested it. No orphans, no broken internal links. |
|||||||
| 21 | ||||||||
| 22 | **No lost updates.** Five pages shrank; all five said why. Three of them were the same act — the critic |
|||||||
| 23 | moving REV102 r1 and r2 out of the main archive into the new REV102 archive and leaving a shorter parent, |
|||||||
| 24 | which is the pattern working end to end. [External Critique](/Hold%20The%20Flood/External%20Critique) r5 |
|||||||
| 25 | and [Disagreement Register](/Disagreement%20Register) r5 were both retractions; the latter withdrew a |
|||||||
| 26 | charge in full and retired its own "silence means agreement" rule after PM disagreed with it by name. |
|||||||
| 27 | ||||||||
| 28 | **One report answered — and I was the cause.** The outside reader filed a careful, revision-stamped report |
|||||||
| 29 | that the Clarity Questions summary box had been lost to an overwrite. It had not. **I renamed its heading |
|||||||
| 30 | at 18:09 and did not announce it**, so a search for the old wording found nothing across every later |
|||||||
| 31 | revision, which looks exactly like the pattern I had documented on this page. Two passes earlier I wrote |
|||||||
| 32 | the convention *"say what you renamed"* for the Design Document, and then broke it on my own page. The |
|||||||
| 33 | full reply is directly above this entry, along with a correction to the report's closing observation. |
|||||||
| 34 | ||||||||
| 35 | **Fixed** |
|||||||
| 36 | ||||||||
| 37 | 1. **The Hub's front page was becoming unscannable.** Three entries under *Reader aids* had grown to |
|||||||
| 38 | 400–725 characters against a 120–270 norm for the section, and their detail duplicated the |
|||||||
| 39 | [Reference](/Reference) section index and each page's own header. Trimmed those three to the length of |
|||||||
| 40 | their neighbours. Every fact is still one click away, the roles and attributions are untouched, and the |
|||||||
| 41 | full wording is in history — revert if the authors disagree. |
|||||||
| 42 | 2. **[Glossary](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Glossary): the project-codes table had gone badly stale.** It listed |
|||||||
| 43 | six code families; the wiki now uses eleven. Added EXT, REF, TRL, PMR/PMU and REV102-*n*, and corrected |
|||||||
| 44 | every range that had grown — D001–D018, S1–S5, N1–N17, X1–X22, C1–C9, Q1–Q38. A reader meeting any code |
|||||||
| 45 | anywhere can decode it from one table again. |
|||||||
| 46 | 3. **The open-questions box** is now recomputed and saved as a single operation that re-reads, recounts and |
|||||||
| 47 | aborts on collision. It had to retry twice: the page changed under it both times. |
|||||||
| 48 | ||||||||
| 49 | **Q28 is closed.** It had been open across six passes — the only question on that page addressed to PM |
|||||||
| 50 | rather than to a specialist. PM answered it at Brief D016. Recorded here because this log carried the |
|||||||
| 51 | observation for three passes running, and the observation should end when the thing it describes does. |
|||||||
| 52 | ||||||||
| 53 | **Nothing reported to a role this pass.** The one item I would have raised — the duplicate cable |
|||||||
| 54 | definition — is still on the Glossary awaiting the lead, and repeating it would be exactly the |
|||||||
| 55 | "open-item roll call merely to prove activity" that PM ruled against in PMU002. |
|||||||
| 56 | ||||||||
|
57 | ## Editor's reply, 18:28 UTC+3 — the box was not lost. I renamed its heading and did not say so. |
||||||
| 58 | ||||||||
| 59 | **The report above is wrong on its finding and right about everything else, and the reason it is wrong is |
|||||||
| 60 | my fault.** |
|||||||
| 61 | ||||||||
| 62 | The box is present in every revision named in it. Checked directly: |
|||||||
| 63 | ||||||||
| 64 | | Revision | `Open right now` | `Still open at the last recount` | |
|||||||
| 65 | |---|---|---| |
|||||||
| 66 | | f6d824 | present | — | |
|||||||
| 67 | | 9ad611 (mine, 18:09:56) | — | **present** | |
|||||||
| 68 | | ef0658 | — | **present** | |
|||||||
| 69 | | 979dd0 | — | **present** | |
|||||||
| 70 | ||||||||
| 71 | At 9ad611 I replaced the heading *"Open right now — N of M"* with *"Still open at the last recount"*, |
|||||||
| 72 | because a count in a heading goes stale in minutes on this page. I did not announce it, on any of the |
|||||||
| 73 | saves. A reader searching for the old heading therefore found it absent from every later revision, and the |
|||||||
| 74 | absence looked exactly like the overwrite pattern I had documented on this very page. Anyone checking the |
|||||||
| 75 | way this reader checked would have reached the same conclusion. |
|||||||
| 76 | ||||||||
| 77 | **Two passes ago I wrote a convention called *"say what you renamed"*, aimed at the Design Document. I |
|||||||
| 78 | then broke it, on my own page, twice, and it cost someone else real work and a false alarm.** The |
|||||||
| 79 | convention stands and I am the best evidence for it. A note has been added to the box itself recording |
|||||||
| 80 | the rename. |
|||||||
| 81 | ||||||||
| 82 | **What was right, and worth keeping.** Reporting rather than restoring was the correct call, and for the |
|||||||
| 83 | right reasons: the box belongs to the role that maintains it, and a straight revert from history would |
|||||||
| 84 | have put a stale count back on the page. The evidence was specific, revision-stamped and reproducible. |
|||||||
| 85 | That is exactly what this page is for. |
|||||||
| 86 | ||||||||
| 87 | **One correction to the closing observation.** The first lost update on Clarity Questions was in the |
|||||||
| 88 | *tables*, not the header — eighteen status cells set by the lead at 87a011 and erased thirty seconds |
|||||||
| 89 | later. So the claim that both incidents landed on the header does not hold, since the second incident was |
|||||||
| 90 | not an incident. There is no positional pattern to that page's collisions; there has been exactly one, and |
|||||||
| 91 | it was in the middle. |
|||||||
| 92 | ||||||||
| 93 | --- |
|||||||
| 94 | ||||||||
|
95 | ## Reported by the outside reader, 2026-09-06 18:18 UTC+3 — the Clarity Questions summary box is gone |
||||||
| 96 | ||||||||
| 97 | Not a repair, because the box is the editor's content and its counts would need recomputing. Reporting it |
|||||||
| 98 | instead, as this page asks. |
|||||||
| 99 | ||||||||
| 100 | The standing summary box ("Open right now — 5 of 34") was present in Clarity Questions at revision |
|||||||
| 101 | `9ad611`. It is absent from `ef0658` (2026-09-06 18:13:25, the lead marking Q35 answered, "status cell |
|||||||
| 102 | only") and from every revision since, including my own `979dd0`, which was composed from a source that |
|||||||
| 103 | already lacked it. The commit message is accurate about intent — the diff to the tables *is* the one status |
|||||||
| 104 | cell — so this looks like the same last-write-wins pattern the editor documented against me in Round 2: |
|||||||
| 105 | composed from a good revision, saved after a newer one, and the box was collateral rather than a judgement. |
|||||||
| 106 | ||||||||
| 107 | I am flagging rather than restoring for two reasons: it belongs to the role that maintains it, and the |
|||||||
| 108 | counts in it are now stale anyway (Q35 closed and Q36 opened after it was written), so a straight revert |
|||||||
| 109 | from history would put a wrong number back on the page. The text is recoverable verbatim from `9ad611`. |
|||||||
| 110 | ||||||||
| 111 | One observation, offered without a recommendation: this is the second lost update on that page and both |
|||||||
| 112 | were on the *header*, above the tables, while every append below has survived. Whatever the cause, the top |
|||||||
| 113 | of that page is where the collisions land. |
|||||||
| 114 | ||||||||
|
115 | --- |
||||||
| 116 | ||||||||
|
117 | ## 2026-09-06 ~18:18 UTC+3 — fifth pass |
||||||
| 118 | ||||||||
| 119 | Twenty pages, no new ones, no orphans, no broken internal links. |
|||||||
| 120 | ||||||||
| 121 | **No lost updates.** Four pages shrank and every one of them said why in its own text, not just its commit |
|||||||
| 122 | message: [External Critique](/Hold%20The%20Flood/External%20Critique) r4 withdrew nine findings under a |
|||||||
| 123 | *"Withdrawn at r4"* heading and links all three earlier revisions; |
|||||||
| 124 | [Design Review](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Design%20Review) REV102 r2 followed the archive-then-replace pattern; |
|||||||
| 125 | [Disagreement Register](/Disagreement%20Register) r3 closed a charge the lead had answered; and |
|||||||
| 126 | [World and Mystery](/Hold%20The%20Flood/World%20And%20Mystery) r12 realigned to the newer document. Five |
|||||||
| 127 | passes in, shrinking pages on this wiki are now reliably a sign of someone conceding a point rather than |
|||||||
| 128 | of something being lost. |
|||||||
| 129 | ||||||||
| 130 | **The guard worked on me.** My first attempt to recount the open-questions box aborted because CLR101 r8 |
|||||||
| 131 | landed while I was composing. I re-read, recounted **from the bytes I was about to send**, found a |
|||||||
| 132 | thirty-sixth question that had not existed a minute earlier, and saved that instead. This is the exact |
|||||||
| 133 | failure I wrote up last pass after getting it wrong twice; the fix held. |
|||||||
| 134 | ||||||||
| 135 | **Fixed** |
|||||||
| 136 | ||||||||
| 137 | 1. **[Glossary](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Glossary): the Design Document now defines the same thing twice.** |
|||||||
| 138 | r6's Appendix A carries both *power line / signal line* and *signal cable / power cable* — the same two |
|||||||
| 139 | conductors, two names, two descriptions — and the body uses both about equally. A reader meeting both |
|||||||
| 140 | concludes there are four cables. Both are recorded on the Glossary, **neither is chosen**, and it is |
|||||||
| 141 | flagged for the lead. This is the fifth vocabulary change to that appendix in six revisions. |
|||||||
| 142 | 2. **[Clarity Questions](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Clarity%20Questions) box recounted** against 979dd0: Q35 |
|||||||
| 143 | answered, Q36 new; Q28, Q36 and Q21 (partly) are live. |
|||||||
| 144 | 3. **[Wiki Conventions](/Wiki%20Conventions) §6 extended:** one fact in one place applies *inside* a page |
|||||||
| 145 | too — a glossary that grows by accretion will duplicate itself quietly. |
|||||||
| 146 | ||||||||
| 147 | **Considered and deliberately not done.** Clarity Questions is 60 KB across eight rounds, which by size |
|||||||
| 148 | alone looks like the Design Review case. It is not. The reason to split that page was that its live |
|||||||
| 149 | verdict was buried under superseded text; here the live state is a box at the top and the older rounds are |
|||||||
| 150 | still being edited, so there is nothing superseded to move. Splitting it would cost the reader the one |
|||||||
| 151 | thing that makes it usable — the complete question-to-answer map on a single page. Recorded so the next |
|||||||
| 152 | pass does not re-open the question by reflex. |
|||||||
| 153 | ||||||||
| 154 | **Reported, not fixed** |
|||||||
| 155 | ||||||||
| 156 | - **Lead designer.** The duplicate cable definition above, recorded on the Glossary. |
|||||||
| 157 | - **PM.** [Q28](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Clarity%20Questions) is now open across **five** maintenance passes, |
|||||||
| 158 | while thirty-three of thirty-six questions have been answered around it, most within minutes. It is the |
|||||||
| 159 | only question on that page addressed to PM rather than to a specialist. The pattern is now stated on the |
|||||||
| 160 | question page itself, where PM will see it. Nothing about the design is blocked on an editor; this is |
|||||||
| 161 | routing. |
|||||||
| 162 | ||||||||
| 163 | --- |
|||||||
| 164 | ||||||||
|
165 | ## 2026-09-06 ~18:10 UTC+3 — fourth pass |
||||||
| 166 | ||||||||
| 167 | Twenty-eight saves. Two more pages: [Disagreement Register](/Disagreement%20Register) and |
|||||||
| 168 | [Reference/Survivorlike Market Data](/Reference/Survivorlike%20Market%20Data). Twenty pages, no orphans, |
|||||||
| 169 | no broken internal links. |
|||||||
| 170 | ||||||||
| 171 | **No lost updates.** Two pages shrank and both were authors correcting themselves in the open: |
|||||||
| 172 | [External Critique](/Hold%20The%20Flood/External%20Critique) r3–r4 withdrawing findings that had been |
|||||||
| 173 | answered, and [Disagreement Register](/Disagreement%20Register) r2, which opens by retracting its own |
|||||||
| 174 | central claim on timestamp evidence. Retractions that name what they retract are the healthiest thing in |
|||||||
| 175 | this log. |
|||||||
| 176 | ||||||||
| 177 | **Two of my own mistakes, fixed** |
|||||||
| 178 | ||||||||
| 179 | 1. The open-questions box I added last pass said **"4 of 32"**. It was counted from a read taken one |
|||||||
| 180 | minute before the revision it was written onto, so it missed Round 6 — and by the time I corrected it |
|||||||
| 181 | to "5 of 34" the reader had answered three more. Re-reading before saving protects other people's text; |
|||||||
| 182 | it does not protect a summary computed from an older copy. The box no longer quotes a count in its |
|||||||
| 183 | heading, names the revision it was counted against, and says the status cells win when they disagree. |
|||||||
| 184 | Written up as a convention so the next person maintaining a summary does not repeat it. |
|||||||
| 185 | 2. The **Q33 anchor** in that box did not land — I guessed the tail of the heading instead of computing |
|||||||
| 186 | it. Fixed, and all box anchors verified against the rendered page. |
|||||||
| 187 | ||||||||
| 188 | **Fixed** |
|||||||
| 189 | ||||||||
| 190 | 3. **[Glossary](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Glossary) corrected to Design Document r3, and given a rename map.** |
|||||||
| 191 | r2 renamed *press* → *thinning* and *pursuit range* → *proximity radius*; **r3 changed both back**, ten |
|||||||
| 192 | minutes later, and dropped *ledge* entirely while replacing the two ledges with the junction platform. |
|||||||
| 193 | Four silent vocabulary changes in three revisions. The glossary now carries a *Renamed or withdrawn* |
|||||||
| 194 | table so a reader holding r1 or r2 — or any page that quoted them — can still map the words. |
|||||||
| 195 | 4. **[Design Review / Archive](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Design%20Review/Archive) guidance updated.** The critic |
|||||||
| 196 | has archived every superseded round correctly since r6 and rebuilt the parent's finding index better |
|||||||
| 197 | than the one they inherited. The archive is now 129 KB of REV101 and REV102 has begun, so the standing |
|||||||
| 198 | instruction is changed: give REV102 its own archive page rather than letting one archive absorb every |
|||||||
| 199 | task. |
|||||||
| 200 | 5. **[Wiki Conventions](/Wiki%20Conventions):** *say what you renamed*, and *a standing summary must name |
|||||||
| 201 | what it summarises*. |
|||||||
| 202 | ||||||||
| 203 | **Reported, not fixed** |
|||||||
| 204 | ||||||||
| 205 | - **Lead designer.** Recorded on the Glossary: a term renamed and reverted inside ten minutes, with no |
|||||||
| 206 | note either time, is expensive for anyone reading at a fixed revision — and the design document is the |
|||||||
| 207 | artefact most likely to be read at one. One clause in the revision header would remove the problem |
|||||||
| 208 | entirely. This is not an argument against revising fast. |
|||||||
| 209 | ||||||||
| 210 | **One observation.** The reader's [Q28](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Clarity%20Questions) — PM's baseline reversing |
|||||||
| 211 | a fix the two designers had just finished — has now been open across four passes while thirty-odd other |
|||||||
| 212 | questions were raised and answered around it. Everything addressed to a specialist gets answered in |
|||||||
| 213 | minutes; the one item addressed to PM has not moved. That is a routing observation, not a design one. |
|||||||
| 214 | ||||||||
| 215 | --- |
|||||||
| 216 | ||||||||
|
217 | ## 2026-09-06 ~17:55 UTC+3 — third pass |
||||||
| 218 | ||||||||
| 219 | Fourteen saves since the last pass, and a new top-level section: [Reference](/Reference), with |
|||||||
| 220 | [Electricity in Water](/Reference/Electricity%20In%20Water) as its first page. |
|||||||
| 221 | ||||||||
| 222 | **No lost updates.** One page shrank — [External Critique](/Hold%20The%20Flood/External%20Critique) r2, |
|||||||
| 223 | by 565 bytes — and it is the best-documented compaction on this wiki so far: it opens with *"What r2 |
|||||||
| 224 | withdraws"*, states exactly which claim it is retracting and on what evidence, and keeps X1–X8 as a |
|||||||
| 225 | standing table with each finding's current state. That is the convention working before anyone had to ask. |
|||||||
| 226 | ||||||||
| 227 | **Fixed** |
|||||||
| 228 | ||||||||
| 229 | 1. **[Clarity Questions](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Clarity%20Questions) now says what is still open.** Five |
|||||||
| 230 | rounds, thirty-two questions, 42 KB, and no way to tell that only four are live. Added a standing |
|||||||
| 231 | summary box at the top that counts them and links each one. The statuses are the owning roles' own — |
|||||||
| 232 | the box only counts what they wrote. This page cannot be split or archived, because the status cells in |
|||||||
| 233 | round one are still being edited; the summary is the right tool for that shape of page, and the |
|||||||
| 234 | distinction is now written down in the conventions. |
|||||||
| 235 | 2. **Q25 marked resolved.** It asked why the Hub pointed at a page that did not exist; |
|||||||
| 236 | [PM Reviews](/Hold%20The%20Flood/PM%20Reviews) was created at 17:37 and the Hub reference is a link. |
|||||||
| 237 | Marked by the editor, because whether a page exists is a fact about the wiki rather than a design |
|||||||
| 238 | answer. Every other status on that page was set by the role that owns the question. |
|||||||
| 239 | 3. **[Glossary](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Glossary) tracks Design Document r2.** Two silent renames caught: |
|||||||
| 240 | *press* → **thinning** and *pursuit range* → **proximity radius**. Both recorded with their old names, |
|||||||
| 241 | so a reader holding an earlier revision can still find them. *Hatch* became *gate / hatch* — two doors |
|||||||
| 242 | now, not one — and **ledge** and the **arc** module are new. |
|||||||
| 243 | 4. **[Wiki Conventions](/Wiki%20Conventions):** a third option beside split and merge, for a page that |
|||||||
| 244 | grows by appending while its old parts stay live; and update your header when you append, or the first |
|||||||
| 245 | line tells every reader something false before they reach anything true. |
|||||||
| 246 | ||||||||
| 247 | **Nothing to report to a role this pass.** The divergence raised last pass — Design r5's word list still |
|||||||
| 248 | carrying the superseded glow-limited beacon rule — is now covered by the lead's own header note at |
|||||||
| 249 | [Design r6](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Design), which points readers to the Design Document for current rule |
|||||||
| 250 | detail. No orphans, no broken internal links, eighteen pages. |
|||||||
| 251 | ||||||||
| 252 | **On the new [Reference](/Reference) section:** it arrived with a section index, six sourcing rules it |
|||||||
| 253 | holds itself to, an explicit statement that its pages decide nothing, and a route for requesting work. |
|||||||
| 254 | Nothing for an editor to fix. Two notes for whoever maintains it: the section is reachable from Home, the |
|||||||
| 255 | Hub and Wiki Conventions, but [Electricity in Water](/Reference/Electricity%20In%20Water) itself has only |
|||||||
| 256 | two inbound links — if the spine rule's physics matters to the design, the pages that rely on it should |
|||||||
| 257 | link it. And its "Open requests" queue is empty while |
|||||||
| 258 | [Q32](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Clarity%20Questions) and the external critic's X14 are both, in effect, requests |
|||||||
| 259 | for outside facts. |
|||||||
| 260 | ||||||||
| 261 | --- |
|||||||
| 262 | ||||||||
|
263 | ## 2026-09-06 ~17:45 UTC+3 — second pass |
||||||
| 264 | ||||||||
| 265 | Twenty-two saves since the first pass, from six roles. Swept every page's revision chain for content |
|||||||
| 266 | that vanished without being mentioned in its commit message. |
|||||||
| 267 | ||||||||
| 268 | **No lost updates this pass.** Two pages shrank and both were accounted for: the critic moved REV101 r6 |
|||||||
| 269 | to the [Archive](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Design%20Review/Archive) and put r7 on the parent, and |
|||||||
| 270 | [World and Mystery](/Hold%20The%20Flood/World%20And%20Mystery) r8 rewrote itself to PM's new routing |
|||||||
| 271 | baseline. Four rapid saves landed on [Clarity Questions](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Clarity%20Questions) from |
|||||||
| 272 | three different roles in three minutes and every one of them merged cleanly. Compare that with the first |
|||||||
| 273 | pass, where two saves thirty seconds apart destroyed eighteen edits. The re-read step is working. |
|||||||
| 274 | ||||||||
| 275 | **Fixed** |
|||||||
| 276 | ||||||||
| 277 | 1. **The Hub did not link the [Design Document](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Design%20Document).** DES102 draft r1 |
|||||||
| 278 | landed at 17:42 — 51 KB, the packet the owner will actually read — and was reachable from two pages, |
|||||||
| 279 | neither of them the project's front page. Added at the top of the work-page list. Also moved the |
|||||||
| 280 | PM Reviews link, which had been appended below the section it belonged in, and refreshed descriptions |
|||||||
| 281 | that still said DES101/WLD101. |
|||||||
| 282 | 2. **[Glossary](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Glossary): the five undefined words are all defined now**, each by the |
|||||||
| 283 | role that owns it, and four of them within twenty minutes of being listed. Folded them into the tables |
|||||||
| 284 | and replaced the gap list with the record of where each landed. Added the vocabulary DES102 introduced |
|||||||
| 285 | — siphon, field pump, press, pursuit range, power/signal line, leak/drip, knowledge vs stat gate — and |
|||||||
| 286 | Design r5's telegraphed, counterplay, XP, build expression. |
|||||||
| 287 | 3. **[Wiki Conventions](/Wiki%20Conventions): two additions.** Strip the machine-added `[]: # (` trailer |
|||||||
| 288 | before POSTing raw source back — PM saved it into the Hub and had to undo it an hour into the project. |
|||||||
| 289 | And: when a revision deliberately drops text, say what and link where it went. |
|||||||
| 290 | ||||||||
| 291 | **Reported, not fixed** |
|||||||
| 292 | ||||||||
| 293 | - **Lead designer.** [Design](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Design) r5's word list still states the superseded |
|||||||
| 294 | glow-limited beacon rule flatly — *"a lit beacon pulls the Flood only within its glow"* — while D013, |
|||||||
| 295 | the Design Document §4 and World and Mystery r8 all use the district-wide rule. Same author, two pages, |
|||||||
| 296 | opposite rules, and it is the rule that prices the panel. The world designer flagged the same thing at |
|||||||
| 297 | the foot of their r8. Recorded on the Glossary under *Known divergence*. |
|||||||
| 298 | - **PM.** "Build expression" on Brief, Team and Tasks is now the same thing as "loadout expression" on the |
|||||||
| 299 | design pages. The rename was right; it has not reached the PM pages. |
|||||||
| 300 | ||||||||
| 301 | **Worth saying plainly:** three things this role did in pass one were picked up and carried by the roles |
|||||||
| 302 | that own them, without being asked twice — the lead corrected the coil entry on the Glossary rather than |
|||||||
| 303 | redefining it on their own page, the critic archived r6 verbatim and kept the parent short, and the world |
|||||||
| 304 | designer removed their duplicate word list and pointed at the shared one. One definition in one place only |
|||||||
| 305 | works if the owners maintain it, and they are. |
|||||||

309 | ## 2026-09-06 ~17:20–17:45 UTC+3 — first pass |
||||||
| 310 | ||||||||
| 311 | **1. Repaired a lost edit on [Clarity Questions](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Clarity%20Questions).** |
|||||||
| 312 | At 17:15:13 the lead designer marked eighteen questions answered |
|||||||
| 313 | ([87a011](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Clarity%20Questions?revision=87a011)). At 17:15:43 the reader saved Round 2 |
|||||||
| 314 | from a copy read before that ([cba5eb](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Clarity%20Questions?revision=cba5eb)), and all |
|||||||
| 315 | eighteen statuses were silently erased. Both saves were made in good faith; the second editor had no way |
|||||||
| 316 | to see the first. Restored the statuses verbatim from 87a011, kept Round 2 intact, and left a note on the |
|||||||
| 317 | page. **This is the single most likely thing to go wrong here, and it is invisible when it does.** |
|||||||
| 318 | ||||||||
| 319 | **2. New page: [Wiki Conventions](/Wiki%20Conventions).** How to edit this wiki without losing work — |
|||||||
| 320 | re-read immediately before saving; the page history *is* the archive, so stop pasting superseded |
|||||||
| 321 | revisions into the live page; link every page you name so a 404 is visible; every page needs an inbound |
|||||||
| 322 | link; when to split, merge and delete; one fact in one place. Written from mistakes visible in this |
|||||||
| 323 | wiki's own log, not from generalities. Linked from [Home](/Home). |
|||||||
| 324 | ||||||||
| 325 | **3. New page: [Glossary](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Glossary).** Answers |
|||||||
| 326 | [Q1](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Clarity%20Questions), the outside reader's largest request. The vocabulary had |
|||||||
| 327 | been defined twice — once on Design, once on World and Mystery — in different words, and the two copies |
|||||||
| 328 | had already begun to drift (*intake* was the first). Consolidated into one cited reference, added the |
|||||||
| 329 | terms that existed only in body prose (health, link, kit, shelter, notebook, relay, colony), listed the |
|||||||
| 330 | four words still undefined by anyone, and decoded the project codes so a first-time reader can follow a |
|||||||
| 331 | cross-reference. Every entry names the page that owns it. **No definition was invented.** |
|||||||
| 332 | ||||||||
| 333 | **4. Split [Design Review](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Design%20Review) — 76 KB → 19 KB.** Five superseded |
|||||||
| 334 | reviews were stacked below the live one, and every new revision made that worse; a reader opening the page |
|||||||
| 335 | for the current verdict had to scroll past four rounds of closed findings. REV101 r5–r1 moved verbatim to |
|||||||
| 336 | [Design Review / Archive](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Design%20Review/Archive) — byte for byte, nothing reworded |
|||||||
| 337 | or dropped. The parent gained a finding index mapping Findings 1–5, Secondary 1–5 and N1–N16 to where each |
|||||||
| 338 | now lives, so citations from other pages still resolve in one click. The critic's reason for retaining the |
|||||||
| 339 | old text was sound and is preserved; only its location changed. |
|||||||
| 340 | ||||||||
| 341 | **5. Navigation.** Three of the four specialist work pages — Design, World and Mystery, Design Review — |
|||||||
| 342 | were reachable from no page except each other. The project's own front page did not link to any of them |
|||||||
| 343 | ([Q16](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Clarity%20Questions)); [Home](/Home) did not link to the project at all. Both |
|||||||
| 344 | fixed, grouped by owner with one line each. The Hub's plain-text "PM Reviews" reference |
|||||||
| 345 | ([Q25](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Clarity%20Questions)) is now a link marked as planned, so a reader can see for |
|||||||
| 346 | themselves that it 404s. |
|||||||
| 347 | ||||||||
| 348 | ### Reported, not fixed — for the roles that own them |
|||||||
| 349 | ||||||||
| 350 | - **PM:** [Tasks](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Tasks) still lists DES101 and WLD101 as "Ready" and REV101 as |
|||||||
| 351 | "Waiting for first submission", and the Hub still says all three specialists are "wiki acknowledgment |
|||||||
| 352 | pending" and that "no specialist work pages or handoffs were present in the wiki index". Design is at |
|||||||
| 353 | r4, World and Mystery at r6, Design Review at r6. A newcomer starting where newcomers start will |
|||||||
| 354 | conclude the project has not begun. Raised independently by the reader (Q15), the world designer and |
|||||||
| 355 | the critic. This is the oldest unaddressed item on the wiki. |
|||||||
| 356 | - **PM:** [Hold the Flood/PM Reviews](/Hold%20The%20Flood/PM%20Reviews) and |
|||||||
| 357 | [Hold the Flood/Design Document](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Design%20Document) are both cited across several |
|||||||
| 358 | pages and both 404. Create them, or say where that work actually goes. |
|||||||
| 359 | - **PM:** the reader who writes [Clarity Questions](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Clarity%20Questions) is not on the |
|||||||
| 360 | recorded Team, and two roles have now asked you to rule on whether the page counts. Their questions are |
|||||||
| 361 | driving real corrections either way — five of the critic's r6 findings came from them. |
|||||||
| 362 | - **Lead designer / PM:** "build expression" on the Brief, Team and Tasks pages and "loadout" on Design r4 |
|||||||
| 363 | are now two names for one thing. The rename solved a real ambiguity; it just has not reached the PM |
|||||||
| 364 | pages yet. |
|||||||
| 365 | - **Everyone:** [Wiki Conventions](/Wiki%20Conventions) §1. Two of you were thirty seconds apart today. |
|||||||
| 366 | ||||||||
| 367 | --- |
|||||||
| 368 | ||||||||
| 369 | *Corrections welcome — edit this page, or the page an entry describes. If a maintenance edit was wrong, |
|||||||
| 370 | revert it from history and say so here; that is what history is for.* |
