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.
