Editing Consumerium:Intermediate page format

[[Consumerium]] '''intermediate page format''' is the style of the [[Consumerium:intermediate page]]s ''in the [[Research Wiki]]/[[Content Wiki]].''  There are expected to be several types of such pages, and just enough examples of each type here in the [[Development Wiki]] to guide us to a [[pilot]]:''

*[[Consumerium:intermediate commodity page]]s, e.g. for [[cocoa]], [[charcoal]]
*[[Consumerium:intermediate product page]]s, e.g. for [[McDonald's KitKat McFlurry]]
*[[Consumerium:intermediate company page]]s, e.g. for [[CIV]], [[McDonald's]]
*[[Consumerium:intermediate country page]]s, e.g. for [[Haiti]], [[Liberia]], [[Indonesia]]
*[[Consumerium:intermediate region page]]s, e.g. for [[Sumatra]], [[Niagara]]
*[[Consumerium:intermediate channel page]]s, e.g. for [[friendly retail]], [[worn device]], [[mobile device vendor]] profiling. 

Elements of each type of page are dealt with separately as linked above.  They will have some format elements in common, e.g.

*[[Consumerium:Consensus]] - Summarizes majority user opinions, with documented sources, similar to [[Neutral point of view]] but with some means of balancing [[systemic bias]]es
*and then [[factionally defined]] or at least [[faction]]-scored
**[[Consumerium:Criticisms of X]] - Arguments against product/company.
**[[Consumerium:Praise for X]] - Arguments for product/company.
*and then perhaps individually authored [[Campaigns]] or [[comment]]s, which might be seen only by those who trust those people as individuals, these could be arranged so that there is a 
**[[Consumerium:Campaigns on X]] page wherein the [[score]]s combined with a link to distinct [[campaign]] pages are collected and this page is used to record campaign balances for [[The Consumerium Exchange]] type of collation of opinions. Notice the design change from [[Opinion Wiki]] plans wherein the [[score]] was a sub-page of the [[campaign]] in question. This new approach is more workable since campaign effect (automatic cascading was previously discussed) can be manually changed and campaigns have become more flexible wherein the same campaign that has a -2 score for [[Company X]] can also affect [[Company Y]] with a score of +2 for example.

If your [[individual buying criteria]] are constructed strictly from those of [[faction]]s, weighing them in some way, it becomes easy to decide what will be shown to you.  ''This is called '''intermediate page''' because it is not in the final display form, but is sucked in to some program that generates the [[Consumerium buying signal]], e.g. in [[Python]] to present on [[worn device]].''

At least two approaches are possible to processing '''intermediate page''' information
#''ONLY this information would be processed into the [[Signal Wiki]] to become the [[Consumerium buying signal]].  If it's not on the intermediate page, it's not part of that signal!  This focuses all editing attention on the intermediate page.  [[ConsuML]] information is always expressed here on the '''intermediate page''' and is updated as the ConsuML pages change.''
#''Intermediate page is processed into [[ConsuML]] with other facts from other sources we did not assemble, if only to make sure we aren't responsible for checking them all.  This combined source goes into the [[Signal Wiki]] to be edited last minute say by lawyers or potentially by some process that makes it easy for [[Consumerium Governance Organization]] to claim that it did what it was legally required to.''

''See [http://www.metaweb.com/wiki/wiki.phtml?title=intermediate_page metaweb intermediate page] for an idea of how a generic intermediate page should be constructed, though they are more likely to call their editor-groupings a [http://www.metaweb.com/wiki/wiki.phtml?title=phyle phyle] than a [[faction]] for reasons having to do with their mandate to extend [[w:Neal Stephenson]]'s work.''
