Summary

A wiki like this fails when it gets smoother while getting less true. Linting exists to catch that.

Key points

  • Check for stale claims.
  • Check for pages without sources.
  • Check for unresolved contradictions.
  • Check for orphan pages.
  • Check for pages citing only other wiki pages when source refresh is needed.

Operational relevance

Fast-moving technical domains need regular quality checks. Otherwise the wiki becomes a confident liar with backlinks.

Open questions

  • Should certain page types require hard refresh from raw sources every 30 days?
  • Should benchmark pages auto-expire unless refreshed?
