CYCLE Calibration position

StatusActive Maintenance

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.

Known Site Issues & Fixes

Purpose: This page tracks technical bugs, quirks, and configuration issues specific to this wiki's setup — things like namespace-scoped template failures, extension configuration gaps, or parser quirks that cost real time to diagnose. It exists so a fix (or a failed fix attempt) only has to be discovered once, not rediscovered from scratch the next time the same symptom shows up on a different page.

What This Page Is For

  • Technical/infrastructure bugs — template logic errors, namespace-specific failures, extension configuration issues (e.g. SMW settings), broken parser functions, Lua module errors.
  • Issues that are specific to this wiki's setup, not general MediaWiki knowledge easily found elsewhere.
  • Issues worth recording even when unresolved — a documented failed fix attempt saves the next person from retrying the same dead end.

What This Page Is NOT For

  • Content calibration findings — those belong in a page's own Calibration Report (Talk page or `/Calibration Log`), not here.
  • Governance/taxonomy decisions — those belong in Decision Records: Governance Memory, not here.
  • Open conceptual questions — those belong as a breadcrumb on the relevant page itself, not here, unless the question is specifically about a technical mechanism.
  • General MediaWiki documentation — if the answer is "read the MediaWiki manual," it doesn't need an entry here. This page is for things specific to how this wiki is configured, not general platform knowledge.

Rule of thumb: if fixing it required understanding something specific about *this* wiki's configuration or *this* project's templates — not just MediaWiki in general — it belongs here.

How to Use This Page

  • Reports and discussion about entries on this page happen on this page's Talk page — not inline here. This page stays a clean, scannable log; the reasoning, back-and-forth, and any dispute about a fix lives on Talk.
  • When you find or fix an issue, add an entry below using the format in How to Add an Entry.
  • When you attempt a fix that doesn't work, record that too — a documented failed attempt is genuinely valuable; it prevents the next person from repeating it.
  • Mark status honestly: Open (unresolved), Mitigated (workaround exists, root cause not fixed), or Resolved (actually fixed).

How to Add an Entry

== [Short, specific title of the issue] ==

'''Status:''' Open / Mitigated / Resolved

'''Symptom:''' What actually goes wrong, concretely — what you'd observe if you hit this.

'''Root cause:''' What's actually causing it, if known. State "not yet identified" if unknown rather than guessing.

'''Fix (or attempted fix):''' What was tried, and whether it worked. If it didn't work, say so plainly — that's still valuable information.

'''Current mitigation:''' If no real fix exists yet, what's the practical workaround in the meantime.

'''Found by:''' Who found it, and when.

'''Next steps:''' What still needs investigating, if anything.

Log

Standalone Transparency Fails on Template: Namespace Pages

Status: Open — unresolved

Symptom: Template:Standalone Transparency's Talk-page links do not resolve correctly when the template is used on a page in the `Template:` namespace.

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.
  • Use the Calibration Log and Decision Records subpages for maintenance history; use Talk for public discussion.
  • This framework remains in Permanent Beta. Better calibration is always in scope.
