Known Site Issues & Fixes
Welcome to the MoA–TSG Lab. The wiki is the bench. The work is Metrology of the Abstract. Adopt the tools or leave them on the rack — either way, the need doesn't wait.
- Lab Note: A redlink is not a failure. It identifies Calibration Debt—work waiting to be measured, mapped, and calibrated.

CYCLE Calibration position Status — Active 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.

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. Standalone Transparency Fix

Page Transparency & Calibration
- Calibration Log & Decision Records (via Talk Page) — This page uses Talk-only calibration tracking. Full history of reviews, version changes, calibration decisions, and any governance reasoning behind structural decisions all live on the same Talk page, per Calibration Log: When to Create One and Decision Records: Governance Memory. Not every Calibration Log entry is a Decision Record — scan the Talk page's headings for entries specifically marked as decisions; the link itself being active only confirms this page has calibration history, not that a formal decision was ever recorded.
- View Current Page History — Complete edit history.
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 References
This page is calibrated against the following core standards and reference materials:

- Calibrating Conceptual Instruments — Methodology for evaluating and refining pages
- Civilizational Traceability Hierarchy — How standards should connect to reality across levels
- Diagnostic Inversion Test — Mandatory self-application standard
- Reality Game — Foundational reality-alignment tool
- Reality Override Game — Standing discipline against protecting an existing model rather than updating it
- Observable Behavior Rule — Standing principle that diagnostics evaluate observable actions, mechanisms, and consequences, not internal motive, belief, or intent
- One-Way Nature of the Sovereign Games — Anti-capture design principles
- The Royal Cubit Civilization (Strategy) — Long-term civilizational vision and metrology metaphor
- Conceptual Instruments — Overall direction and metrology metaphor
- Breadcrumb Philosophy — Standing discipline for making unresolved questions and provisional decisions explicit
- Calibration Dependencies: Standards and Process — Rule that visible and hidden dependency lists must match, and that dependencies describe genuine reliance
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.
