This page explains the main decision point after compilation: what kind of page to file.
| If the page is… | Use type | Why |
|---|---|---|
| a distilled topic from sources | concept |
The page teaches the topic itself. |
| a choice made after weighing options | decision |
The page records the rationale. |
| a defect and its fix | bug |
The page preserves the regression trail. |
| an unresolved question | open-question |
The page keeps the investigation open. |
| a source summary or registry entry | source / reference |
The page is mostly lookup material. |
| a derived connection between pages | synthesis |
The page adds a new conclusion. |
| a frozen answer snapshot | archive |
The page should not cascade-update. |
concept for most wiki knowledge pages.reference for operational how-to pages like this one.synthesis only when the value is in the connection, not the source itself.archive when you want the answer preserved as of a specific date.Picking the right type controls how the page behaves later: some pages cascade-update, some stay frozen, and some are just lookup surfaces.
