__TOC__

This guide defines how to review pages for accuracy, currency, formatting, and usefulness. It is intended for page owners, senior editors, corporation staff, and anyone maintaining operational documentation.

== Review triggers ==

* A major EVE Online expansion or patch changes mechanics, skills, structures, markets, or UI.
* FC, corporation, alliance, or coalition policy changes.
* A user reports that a page is wrong or unclear.
* The page has not been verified within its review cadence.
* A related page has been rewritten and links or terminology may now be inconsistent.
* A template, category structure, or wiki skin change affects rendering.

== Review cadence ==

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! '''Page type'''
! '''Recommended cadence'''
! '''Reason'''
|-
| Core game mechanic guide
| Every major expansion or every 6 months
| Mechanics, UI, and numbers can change.
|-
| Market or tax calculation page
| Monthly or after major market/system changes
| Prices, fees, indices, and assumptions drift quickly.
|-
| Corporation service page
| Quarterly or after policy changes
| Access, owners, and procedures can change.
|-
| Doctrine-support page
| After doctrine change or every 3 months
| Fits, skill assumptions, and escalation rules change.
|-
| Reference category or style page
| Every 6 months
| Standards should remain stable but not stale.
|-
| Archived or historical page
| Only when archive status changes
| Avoid unnecessary churn on intentionally historical pages.
|}

== Review levels ==

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! '''Level'''
! '''Scope'''
! '''Result'''
|-
| Level 1: quick scan
| Check obvious rendering, broken placeholders, missing categories, and outdated banners.
| Minor fixes or route to deeper review.
|-
| Level 2: content review
| Verify steps, mechanics, requirements, risks, links, formulas, and examples.
| Update page and last verified date if confirmed.
|-
| Level 3: subject-matter review
| Ask an experienced player, service owner, or policy owner to validate the page.
| Approve, revise, or flag disputed sections.
|-
| Level 4: structural rewrite
| Rebuild the page using the standard template when structure blocks maintenance.
| Publish a clean version with clear edit summary.
|}

== Evidence hierarchy ==

Use the strongest available evidence. A page can be clear and still be wrong if it relies on stale assumptions.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! '''Evidence type'''
! '''Use for'''
! '''Caution'''
|-
| Current in-game verification
| UI steps, stats, service behavior, live mechanics
| Record date, character context, and location if relevant.
|-
| Official patch notes or support pages
| Patch-related mechanics and feature changes
| Confirm the page reflects the current state, not only a historical change.
|-
| Maintained external wiki pages
| Cross-checking general mechanics
| Do not copy style or wording directly.
|-
| FC internal policy records
| Corporation, alliance, or coalition rules
| Label as policy, not universal game mechanics.
|-
| Screenshots
| UI state, site waves, dialog boxes, structure setup
| Crop clearly and avoid exposing sensitive information.
|-
| Player reports
| Bug leads, unclear instructions, missing cases
| Verify before converting reports into factual claims.
|}

== Review procedure ==

# Open the page in read mode and read it as a new player would.
# Check the guide summary table for page owner and last verified date.
# Open the page history and scan recent edits for context.
# Check all maintenance banners and resolve what can be resolved.
# Review the lead and quick start for accuracy and usefulness.
# Verify requirements, skills, ISK assumptions, tools, structure services, access, and policy dependencies.
# Check each procedure step against the current game or current FC workflow.
# Check calculations and examples for assumptions, current values, and formula errors.
# Check links, references, categories, and see-also entries.
# Update content, banners, page owner, and last verified date as appropriate.
# Preview, save with a descriptive edit summary, then check the rendered page.

== Handling outdated or uncertain information ==

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! '''Condition'''
! '''Action'''
|-
| Information is confirmed correct.
| Leave it, improve wording if useful, and update last verified date if the review was broad enough.
|-
| Information is wrong and the correction is known.
| Correct it and cite or explain the basis for the correction.
|-
| Information is probably wrong but not yet verified.
| Flag the specific claim for verification and explain the suspected issue.
|-
| The whole page is outdated.
| Add an update notice, summarize the reason, and assign or request an owner.
|-
| The page is structurally unusable.
| Rewrite using the standard guide template or create a replacement draft.
|-
| The page is obsolete but historically useful.
| Mark as archived or historical according to local wiki practice.
|}

== Last verified field ==

The last verified field is a promise that the page, or the relevant section, has been checked against current information. Do not update it for copyediting alone.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! '''Edit type'''
! '''Update last verified?'''
|-
| Typo, grammar, or formatting only
| No
|-
| Broken link replacement only
| No, unless the linked source was used to verify content
|-
| Checked every procedure step in game
| Yes
|-
| Confirmed policy with current owner
| Yes for policy pages
|-
| Updated formula with current assumptions
| Yes, if assumptions and source are documented
|-
| Added a warning based on an unverified report
| No; use a verification notice instead
|}

== Review checklist ==

* The page purpose is still valid.
* The title and lead match the page content.
* The guide summary table is accurate.
* The page owner is current.
* The last verified date is justified.
* All procedures reflect current game mechanics or current FC workflow.
* All risks and prerequisites are still true.
* Market, tax, and calculation assumptions are current or dated clearly.
* Screenshots and UI references match the current interface.
* Maintenance banners are accurate and not stale.
* Categories are approved and useful.
* The page has no unresolved placeholders.

== Review record format ==

For important pages, add a short review record on the talk page or a designated review log page.

<pre>
== Review record: YYYY-MM-DD ==
* Reviewer: [[User:Name]]
* Scope: Full page / Section only / Policy only / Formula only
* Evidence checked: In-game / Patch notes / FC policy / External reference
* Result: Verified / Updated / Flagged for review / Needs owner
* Notes: [brief summary]
~~~~
</pre>

== Standard maintenance notices ==

The exact template names depend on what has been installed on the F4L5E G0DS EVE-EMU wiki. If these templates do not exist yet, create them or use plain-text notices until the template set is available.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! '''Notice'''
! '''Suggested wikitext'''
! '''When to remove'''
|-
| Work in progress
| <code><nowiki>{{Work in progress}}</nowiki></code>
| When active editing is complete or has gone stale.
|-
| Update
| <code><nowiki>{{Update|reason=Needs verification after latest mechanics or policy change.}}</nowiki></code>
| When content has been updated and verified.
|-
| Cleanup
| <code><nowiki>{{Cleanup|reason=Needs formatting, references, or technical-writing pass.}}</nowiki></code>
| When style, grammar, structure, and readability issues are fixed.
|-
| Verify
| <code><nowiki>{{Verify|reason=Specific claim needs confirmation.}}</nowiki></code>
| When the specific claim has been confirmed or corrected.
|-
| Merge
| <code><nowiki>{{Merge|Target page}}</nowiki></code>
| When merge decision is complete.
|}

== Sources consulted ==
