This page catalogs '''framework-level page features''' and how they are introduced and adopted across The Sovereign Games. It is a '''feature and adoption reference''', not the operational authority for structural pre-calibration.
This page documents the current expected structure and features for pages across The Sovereign Games. It serves as the single source of truth for page architecture and maintenance standards.
'''Dependency (load-bearing):''' Structural rules, field constraints, mandatory template order, date rules, and Step 0 verification are defined and enforced by [[Page Structure Calibration Checklist]]. If this page and the checklist ever disagree on structure, '''the checklist wins''' until both are deliberately revised together.
 
New page seeds should match the checklist (and New Page Seed). This page does not replace either.
Updates to individual pages based on this reference occur only during their scheduled calibration cycles. This page is not used to trigger immediate mass updates.

== Purpose ==
 
* Record '''what features exist''' (or are rolling out) at the framework level.
The goal of this reference is to maintain consistency and traceability across the framework while avoiding unnecessary maintenance overhead. Pages are expected to align with these standards over time through normal calibration work, rather than constant retrofitting.
* State '''how adoption is expected''' (normally on the page’s next calibration cycle — not mass immediate retrofit).
 
* Point maintainers to the '''checklist''' for what “structurally correct” means.
== Core Structural Elements ==
* Avoid duplicate or competing “source of truth” claims for page architecture.
 
== Authority split ==
Most pages should include the following elements:
{| class="wikitable"
 
! Document !! Owns
* '''Core Navigation / Transparency''' — Standard transparency and navigation block (includes links to Calibration Log, Page History, Discussion, and What Links Here).
|-
* '''Admin Page Status''' — Hidden calibration tracking and status metadata.
| [[Page Structure Calibration Checklist]]
* '''Resource block''' — Visible structured reference data for the page (supports PDF export and reference library).
| Step 0 pre-cal: structure, fields, template order, dates, Open Calibration Items rules, readiness gaps
* '''Related Pages''' — Connection to other relevant pages.
|-
* '''Calibration Log subpage''' — Dedicated space for formal calibration history and reports.
| [[Template:New Page Seed]] / doc
 
| Default instance structure when creating pages (must stay aligned with checklist)
== Page Type Variations ==

| '''This page (Framework Features Reference)'''
Different categories of pages have different structural expectations:
| Feature catalog, rollout notes, adoption policy, lighter expectations by page class

Most content pages are expected, over their calibration cycles, to carry:
=== Governance & Framework Pages ===
* '''Transparency block''' — Navigation and calibration transparency (variant per checklist / human confirmation; default on new pages per checklist mandatory order).
* Core Navigation / Transparency
* '''Admin Page Status''' — Calibration tracking metadata (hidden).
* Strong traceability links (Decision Records, Breadcrumb references, Dependencies)
* '''Resource block''' — Visible structured reference data (PDF export / library); must not be <code>display:none</code>.
* Calibration Log + Discussion
* '''Related Pages''' and related mandatory footer templates — exact order per checklist.

* GameModule infobox (placement and fields per checklist)
 
* Full mandatory footer order including transparency
== New and Rolling Out Features ==
* Calibration Log / Discussion as appropriate
 
=== Governance and framework pages ===
New structural features or requirements are listed here when introduced. Existing pages are expected to adopt them during their next calibration cycle rather than immediately.
* Strong traceability (Decision Records, breadcrumbs, dependencies where load-bearing)
 
* Link to this page as feature/adoption reference
'''Currently Rolling Out:'''
* Checklist remains Step 0
* Visible Resource block on all pages (for PDF export and reference consistency)
=== Strategy and planning pages ===
* Standardized Calibration Report format on Talk pages
* Transparency and Related Pages expected
 
* Calibration Log recommended; early drafts may lag — adopt on cycle, not panic retrofit
== How Updates Are Managed ==
== New and rolling out features ==
 
New structural features are listed here when introduced. Existing pages adopt them on their '''next normal calibration cycle''', not via immediate sitewide mass edit — unless a separate decision explicitly requires a campaign.
* Changes to this reference do not require immediate updates to all pages.
'''Currently rolling out:'''
* Individual pages are reviewed against current standards during their normal calibration cycle.
* Visible Resource block on all pages (export / reference consistency)
* Significant new features will be noted in the "New and Rolling Out" section above with the date they were introduced.
* Standardized Calibration Report format on Talk / log channels
 
* Mandatory footer order including transparency after RelatedPages (per checklist)
== Related Standards ==
'''Adoption rule:''' Checklist defines correctness; this section records '''what is new''' and '''when it was introduced''' so cycles can catch up without this page triggering panic updates.
 
== How updates are managed ==
* [[Calibration Report Standard Format]] — Defines the required format for official calibration reports.
* Edits here do not require immediate updates to all pages.
* [[Template:Admin Page Status]] — Primary calibration tracking template.
* Pages are checked against '''current checklist''' during pre-cal / content cal.
* [[Page Structure Calibration Checklist]] — Step 0 structural verification before content calibration.
* Significant new features get a dated note in “New and rolling out.”
 
* Developmental alignment on living standards is logged in cal reports; formal NCR is for deviations from locked expectations on pages that should already conform — avoid flooding NCR with WIP noise.
== Related standards ==
* [[Page Structure Calibration Checklist]] — Step 0 structural verification (authoritative for structure)
* [[Template:New Page Seed]] — Creation seed (aligned to checklist)
* [[Calibration Report Standard Format]] — Report format
* [[Template:Admin Page Status]] — Tracking template
* [[Nonconformance Reporting Procedure]] — When formal NCR applies
'''See the Game. Refuse the Game. Build Better.'''
'''See the Game. Refuse the Game. Build Better.'''
 
== Open Calibration Items ==
* After checklist vocabulary stabilizes, re-sync any remaining option lists on this page that still show pre-Civilizational Application Layer wording in older prose forks.
* Confirm “Currently rolling out” dates when next feature is added (use static introduction dates).
* Optional: one-line pointer from checklist “Related” area back to this page as feature catalog only (no authority inversion).

CYCLE Calibration position — Active Development

This page is a conceptual instrument under Permanent Beta. It declares a real calibration position, not a finished product waiting to ship. Checking continues; an edit is only required when evidence demands it. Stage: Seed to Fruit.

Feedback welcome — especially clarity, failure modes, and calibration gaps. Use discussion or Contribute.



Framework Features Reference

This page catalogs framework-level page features and how they are introduced and adopted across The Sovereign Games. It is a feature and adoption reference, not the operational authority for structural pre-calibration. Dependency (load-bearing): Structural rules, field constraints, mandatory template order, date rules, and Step 0 verification are defined and enforced by Page Structure Calibration Checklist. If this page and the checklist ever disagree on structure, the checklist wins until both are deliberately revised together. New page seeds should match the checklist (and New Page Seed). This page does not replace either.

Purpose

  • Record what features exist (or are rolling out) at the framework level.
  • State how adoption is expected (normally on the page’s next calibration cycle — not mass immediate retrofit).
  • Point maintainers to the checklist for what “structurally correct” means.
  • Avoid duplicate or competing “source of truth” claims for page architecture.

Authority split

Document Owns
Page Structure Calibration Checklist Step 0 pre-cal: structure, fields, template order, dates, Open Calibration Items rules, readiness gaps
Template:New Page Seed / doc Default instance structure when creating pages (must stay aligned with checklist)
This page (Framework Features Reference) Feature catalog, rollout notes, adoption policy, lighter expectations by page class
Template:Admin Page Status / Template:GameModule docs Canonical field definitions and inline option sources

This page does not claim single-source dominance over page architecture. Claiming that created a false dependency hierarchy over the checklist.

Core features (catalog)

Most content pages are expected, over their calibration cycles, to carry:

  • Transparency block — Navigation and calibration transparency (variant per checklist / human confirmation; default on new pages per checklist mandatory order).
  • Admin Page Status — Calibration tracking metadata (hidden).
  • Resource block — Visible structured reference data (PDF export / library); must not be display:none.
  • Related Pages and related mandatory footer templates — exact order per checklist.
  • Calibration history — Talk and/or Calibration Log as appropriate for page type (see Calibration Log guidance).

Detail and pass/fail rules: Page Structure Calibration Checklist.

Page class notes (non-authoritative expectations)

Lighter guidance only. Pre-cal still runs the checklist.

Game pages (Diagnostic, Builder, etc.)

  • GameModule infobox (placement and fields per checklist)
  • Full mandatory footer order including transparency
  • Calibration Log / Discussion as appropriate

Governance and framework pages

  • Strong traceability (Decision Records, breadcrumbs, dependencies where load-bearing)
  • Link to this page as feature/adoption reference
  • Checklist remains Step 0

Strategy and planning pages

  • Transparency and Related Pages expected
  • Calibration Log recommended; early drafts may lag — adopt on cycle, not panic retrofit

New and rolling out features

New structural features are listed here when introduced. Existing pages adopt them on their next normal calibration cycle, not via immediate sitewide mass edit — unless a separate decision explicitly requires a campaign. Currently rolling out:

  • Visible Resource block on all pages (export / reference consistency)
  • Standardized Calibration Report format on Talk / log channels
  • Mandatory footer order including transparency after RelatedPages (per checklist)

Adoption rule: Checklist defines correctness; this section records what is new and when it was introduced so cycles can catch up without this page triggering panic updates.

How updates are managed

  • Edits here do not require immediate updates to all pages.
  • Pages are checked against current checklist during pre-cal / content cal.
  • Significant new features get a dated note in “New and rolling out.”
  • Developmental alignment on living standards is logged in cal reports; formal NCR is for deviations from locked expectations on pages that should already conform — avoid flooding NCR with WIP noise.

See the Game. Refuse the Game. Build Better.

Open Calibration Items

  • After checklist vocabulary stabilizes, re-sync any remaining option lists on this page that still show pre-Civilizational Application Layer wording in older prose forks.
  • Confirm “Currently rolling out” dates when next feature is added (use static introduction dates).
  • Optional: one-line pointer from checklist “Related” area back to this page as feature catalog only (no authority inversion).

See the Page Transparency & Calibration section above for this page's Calibration Log / Decision Records / Talk links.


Structural Connections


Page Transparency & Calibration

This page is under continuous calibration in line with the Permanent Beta principle.

Public Discussion Welcome

Questions, suggestions, feedback, disagreement, and proposed improvements are welcome on the Talk page.

Light rules:

  • Prefer evidence and concrete examples over slogans.
  • Apply Diagnostic Inversion Test when criticizing — the same standard to this page that you would apply elsewhere.
  • Distinguish observation from conclusion.
  • Calibration entries and Decision Records are maintenance records; public discussion belongs in ordinary Talk threads.
  • This framework remains in Permanent Beta. Better calibration is always in scope.



Calibration Dependent

Pages that list this page as a load-bearing dependency: None found. Either nothing currently depends on this page, or no dependent page has yet listed it in their `depends_on` field.

If this page is edited substantively, review the list above per the Ripple Review rule — see Calibration Dependencies: Standards and Process#Rule: Core-Priority Changes Trigger Mandatory Ripple Review.


Calibration Dependencies

Pages this page relies on as load-bearing dependencies: Page Structure Calibration Checklist • Template:Admin Page Status • Calibration Report Standard Format If incorrect, edit the `depends_on` field in Admin Page Status — do not edit this section directly, it is auto-generated.



Calibration References

This page is calibrated against the following core standards and reference materials:



Page Construction & Maintenance References

How we construct, maintain, and utilize each page as a self-admin control panel.

  • Distributed Instrumentation — the architectural principle behind why this page (and every page) carries its own live instrumentation, rather than relying on a separate central dashboard.
  • Page Structure Calibration Checklist — the Step 0 structural pass every page should pass before content calibration begins; this page's own structure should be checkable against it.
  • Template:New Page Seed — the seed template this page's basic structure was built from.
  • Calibration Log: When to Create One — the decision procedure this page's own Talk-only vs. dedicated-log status was decided against.
  • Framework Features Reference — maintains consistency and traceability across the framework's structural features while avoiding unnecessary maintenance overhead; consult before introducing a new structural pattern this page might otherwise duplicate.



Calibration Procedure

In development. See Calibration Procedure for current status. No formal step-by-step procedure exists yet beyond the practices demonstrated across individual pages developed during the initial creation of this project.
