A page schema standard keeps a wiki from becoming a folder of confident essays. Each compiled page should tell the next reader what kind of page it is, what source status it has, which claims are unresolved, and when it needs review.

|---|---|---|
type |
source-summary, concept, entity, synthesis, contradiction, runbook, decision | Lets the agent choose the right edit and lint behavior. |
status |
draft, reviewed, needs-update, contradicted, archived | Prevents draft pages from reading like public truth. |
source_status |
source-linked, source-needed, derived, canonical-linked | Shows how much source confidence the page deserves. |
source_trace |
Paths, URLs, anchors, or line references | Lets a person check the claim after the model leaves. |
contradictions |
List of page paths or claim IDs | Preserves disagreement without hiding it in prose. |
last_reviewed |
ISO date | Supports freshness linting and stale-page warnings. |
Recommended optional fields
| Field | Use when | Example |
|---|---|---|
owner |
A team page needs an accountable domain owner. | docs-platform |
reviewer |
A page has passed human or subject-matter review. | human-reviewed |

Claim status labels
source-linkedThe claim has a traceable source locator.
source-neededThe claim is useful but not yet supported enough to trust.
contradictedAt least one source or page conflicts with the claim.
human-approvedA reviewer approved the claim for the current context.
Lint rules for the schema
- Block
reviewedstatus whensource_traceis empty. - Warn when a page has
contradictionsbut no visible contradiction section. - Warn when
last_reviewedis older than the topic freshness rule. - Warn when a page has no inbound link from
index.md.
This is a practical LlmWikis page schema, not a universal standard or official UAIX profile. Projects can copy it, reduce it, or map it into JSON/YAML as long as they preserve the source, status, contradiction, and review concepts.
