RADIX Wiki Editorial Policy

RADIX Wiki editorial policy is the set of standards every article on this wiki is held to. There are seven of them, and they were adopted in two waves: six on 31 July 2026, the last of them conflict of interest, and editorial notices on 26 August 2026.

The policies are not a style guide. Each one answers a different question about a page, and each names what happens when a page fails it. Three are content policies in the sense that they govern what an article may say; one decides whether an article should exist at all; one is about the contributor rather than the page; and one describes the machinery the other six use to flag their own failures.

The seven policies

How they fit together

Verifiability is the first standard, and two of the others are derived from it rather than independent of it. No original research is verifiability applied to interpretation: an inference this wiki draws from on-chain data is not verifiable however sound it is, because there is nothing published to check it against. Freshness is verifiability applied to time: a claim correctly sourced a year ago can be false today, which is why every factual page carries a Last Verified date and is treated as stale 180 days after it.^[1]

Conflict of interest is derived from neutral point of view in the same way, but it is a fact about a contributor rather than about a page. A conflict is not misconduct and is not a reason to keep someone out; it is a reason to disclose, to source harder, and to let someone else make the contested call.

Notability is the only one of the seven that is asked before a page exists, and it is the only one whose answer can be not yet. The rest are asked of a page that is already here.

What enforcement actually looks like

Five of the six content and conduct policies name a notice as their enforcement, and editorial notices is the page that describes what those notices are. Two kinds exist and they behave differently. A notice an editor places sits on one article and stays until an editor removes it. A tracking category is derived by the site from the page itself, is never stored on the page, and cannot be dismissed by editing: it clears when the underlying condition clears.

The May be outdated notice is the clearest case. It is generated at render time from the page’s own dates, so the only thing that clears it is a fresh verification, and the only thing on this wiki that can record one is the rotating maintenance sweep. Which pages currently carry which notice, and what the sweep has done about them, is public in the Wiki Maintenance Log.
