Editorial Policy and Technical Fact-Checking
Technical guidance is only useful when the commands, distribution context and source are correct. This policy defines the evidence and correction standard behind the site.
Evidence hierarchy
- Current first-party distribution, project, software or hardware documentation.
- Current vendor/manufacturer documentation for product specifications and compatibility claims.
- Current SERP and reputable technical editorial sources for question patterns and competing approaches.
- Community reports for real-world patterns, clearly separated from verified first-party facts.
Technical accuracy rules
- Name the distribution or family when commands differ.
- Do not advance a visible “reviewed” date unless the claims represented by that date were actually rechecked.
- Warn before commands that can erase data, alter partitions, rewrite boot configuration, recursively change permissions or disable security controls.
- Use a recovery path before a destructive operation when the page is intended for less experienced users.
