Featured Pages Curation

The homepage of irregularpedia.org has a section titled “On the Wiki Right Now” that surfaces 6 pages. Two of those slots are curated — picked by hand. The other four are driven automatically by community activity (recent edits, inbound links, bookmarks, discussion mentions).

This page is the operating manual for the 2 curated slots.

Where the picks live

apps/wiki/src/data/featured-picks.yaml

picks:
  - slug: research/research-tools
    blurb: "OSINT toolbox — start here"
    until: 2026-08-01
  - slug: ai-ml/claude-code
last_curated: 2026-05-29
curator: "@sac"

Schema

Field	Required	Meaning
picks[].slug	yes	A wiki page path with no leading slash, no .md extension (e.g. cybersecurity/mobile-hardening). Validated at build time.
picks[].blurb	no	1-line description shown on the card. Max 140 chars. Falls back to the page’s frontmatter description if absent.
picks[].until	no	ISO date (YYYY-MM-DD). After this date the pick is dropped automatically. Use for time-bound promotions.
last_curated	no	When you last reviewed the file. Informational.
curator	no	Your handle. Informational.

How to promote a page

1. Open the file in the GitLab in-browser editor or in a local checkout.
2. Edit the picks list. Keep it between 2 and 6 entries.
3. Update last_curated to today.
4. Commit with docs(wiki/featured): promote <page-name>.
5. Push to gitlab. CI deploys within ~60 seconds.

Cadence

We aim to review this file monthly. If last_curated is more than 6 weeks old, the homepage has been on autopilot too long — someone should refresh it.

Audit script

Run from apps/wiki/:

pnpm wiki:featured:audit

Reports picks expiring in the next 14 days, picks already expired, and picks pointing at non-existent slugs.
