''Is this the same as the [[Signal Wiki]]? If not, why not? What must be done to the data before it affects the [[Consumerium buying signal]]? And when?'' | |||
''This page is not for actual [[features|content]] (i.e. do not attempt to classify [[CIV]] or [[Gus Kouwenhoven]] or what they are doing on this page) but for developing the syntax and governance of the Content Wiki so we can set one up.'' | |||
''It also is not about opinions, (ie. [[Campaign]]s and split articles on aspects where [[faction]]s do not agree), which go to [[Research Wiki]] aka [[Opinion Wiki]] where further research is performed. Whatever it is called, this consists of [[Consumerium:intermediate page]]s which are often debated.'' | |||

Facts require more discipline than [[opinion wiki]] comments. When we say "fact" we mean [[instructional capital]] that all [[faction]]s accept as "true" at least to the degree it is allowed to alter the [[Consumerium buying signal]]. ''Another proposed name for this is the [[Signal Wiki]], which makes this relationship very clear.'' | ||
It will be a [[large public wiki]] with the special problems of that type of communication. | |||
The [[Consumerium Governance Organization]] and its delegated [[sysop]]s will have to decide on what grounds each type of information is input, audited, linked, shared, duplicated, edited, contested, vetoed and removed and by whom. | |||

If a modified version will be used it makes sense to use many more namespaces to make the wiki more manageable, but on the other hand using standard MediaWiki has many advantages. Using unmodified MediaWiki would just require stricter syntax within the articles | If a modified version will be used it makes sense to use many more namespaces to make the wiki more manageable, but on the other hand using standard MediaWiki has many advantages.

Writing explicit [[retail price]] information is not allowed in The Content Wiki. What is allowed is to make remarks that [[Company X]]'s (say some retail-chain in some country) pricing policy for [[product group]]s differs from market averages in one direction or the other. | |||
