This page describes how version and revision information on this site is recorded, reviewed and corrected.
How a value is recorded
- Confirm the value. A version or revision is added only when it has been confirmed on hardware and tools the site owner is authorised to use.
- Record the facts. The value is stored with its revision, its firmware relationship where known, its documented compatibility, a source note and a review date.
- Mark the status. Each record is marked as verified or unverified. An unverified record is published for reference and labelled clearly.
What we will not do
- Publish a version or revision number we have not confirmed.
- Copy a value from another site without a stated source.
- Infer a firmware relationship that has not been observed.
- Reproduce key material under any circumstances.
Re-checking
A stated value is as accurate as the review date shown on its record. If a review date is old, treat the statement as historical rather than current.
Corrections
Report a correction through the contact page. Confirmed corrections are applied, and where they change the substance of a page, the record is updated rather than replaced — the connected pages read from the same data, so a single correction propagates.
Why the model is structured this way
Version data and the pages that explain it are connected: a version feeds the versions hub, which feeds the compatibility hub. Updating a value in one place rather than rewriting several articles is what keeps those pages from contradicting each other.
