# Wiki Resolve

> Privacy: never touch `3 - Journal` or any file with `private: true`. The working directory must be the vault root.

## When to Use
After every ingest — update existing pages in light of the new information.

## Procedure

### 1. Find related pages
Read `7 - Wikipedia/index.md` and find pages related to the topic that was just compiled.

### 2. For each related page — check (human judgment)
- Does the new information **contradict** existing information?
  - If so — add a note on the page: `> ⚠️ Contradiction: [new source] claims X while [old source] claims Y`
  - Update provenance to `ambiguous`
- Does the new information **reinforce** existing information?
  - If so — update the page and add the new source to `wiki_sources`
- Does the new information **add to** existing information?
  - If so — add a new section to the page

### 3. Update last_compiled
On every page you touched — update `last_compiled` to today's date.

### 4. Log and validate (scripts)
```bash
python3 "0 - System/scripts/append_log.py" --op resolve --title "Update related pages" --pages "Page A,Page B"
python3 "0 - System/scripts/validate.py"          # verify no links broke and catch provenance: ambiguous
python3 "0 - System/scripts/wiki_sources_report.py"   # if you added sources — verify they're valid
```
