Executable-page rule
Every operational page must answer: What is this? Why is it done this way? Who owns it? What are the prerequisites? What are the exact steps? How is success validated? What can fail? How is it recovered?
Knowledge preservation
Never silently remove operational knowledge. Reorganize, cross-link, correct, or archive it with a reason and change record.
