Wiki Schema

Domain

Project engineering notes and general learning — technical topics, tool workflows, architecture decisions, lessons learned, and knowledge accumulated across projects.

Conventions

  • File names: lowercase, hyphens, no spaces (e.g., nextjs-api-design.md)
  • Every wiki page starts with YAML frontmatter (see below)
  • Use [wikilinks](/wikilinks) to link between pages (minimum 2 outbound links per page)
  • When updating a page, always bump the updated date
  • Every new page must be added to index.md under the correct section
  • Every action must be appended to log.md
  • raw/ directory is immutable — corrections go in wiki pages, never modify raw sources

Meta:

  • notes, learning, how-to, reference, decision, retrospective, tip, pitfall

Page Thresholds

  • Create a page when an entity/concept appears in 2+ sources OR is central to one source
  • Add to existing page when a source mentions something already covered
  • DON'T create a page for passing mentions, minor details, or things outside the domain
  • Split a page when it exceeds ~200 lines — break into sub-topics with cross-links
  • Archive a page when its content is fully superseded — move to _archive/, remove from index

Entity Pages

One page per notable entity. Include:

  • Overview / what it is
  • Key facts and dates
  • Relationships to other entities (wikilinks)
  • Source references

Concept Pages

One page per concept or topic. Include:

  • Definition / explanation
  • Current state of knowledge
  • Open questions or debates
  • Related concepts (wikilinks)

Comparison Pages

Side-by-side analyses. Include:

  • What is being compared and why
  • Dimensions of comparison (table format preferred)
  • Verdict or synthesis
  • Sources

Update Policy

When new information conflicts with existing content:

  1. Check the dates — newer sources generally supersede older ones
  2. If genuinely contradictory, note both positions with dates and sources
  3. Mark the contradiction in frontmatter: contradictions: [page-name]
  4. Flag for user review in the lint report
