Notes for Editors

This document should be maintained as a set of linked wiki pages rather than a single monolithic page. Each major section should have its own stable URI so it can be referenced from other wiki pages, exported documents, presentations, AI-assisted tools, and semantic models.

Do not rename pages once they have been cited externally unless a redirect or move plan is in place.
