= Summary =
Workflow for editing and revising an existing encyclopedia page while preserving canon continuity and neutral tone.

= Workflow =
# Read the existing encyclopedia page.
# Identify the requested or necessary changes.
# Gather relevant source pages and Talk-page context.
# Check for contradictions against the World Bible, Master Timeline, and canon policy.
# Revise the article while preserving its neutral out-of-universe voice.
# Avoid unnecessary rewrites when a targeted edit will suffice.

= Rules =
* Prefer minimal, precise edits over total replacement.
* Preserve useful existing structure unless the current layout blocks clarity.
* Do not introduce unsupported facts.
* Do not silently erase ambiguity that is still present in sources.
