**Quality goal:** a page should answer a future question *without* re-reading the source it
came from. If answering still requires the raw file, the page is incomplete.
This file holds the rules that apply in **every** collection. Each `kb/<name>/COLLECTION.md`
declares that it inherits them and adds only what is local to its own subtree - read this file
together with the target collection's contract before writing or editing a page.
This file holds the rules that apply in **every** collection **and in every instance**. That
second half is the cut: what is written here is enforced by `tools/wikitool` or follows from
how it works, so it is identical everywhere and `dist export` ships it verbatim.
**What an instance decides for itself is next door, in
[kb/CONVENTIONS.md](CONVENTIONS.md)** - the language pages are written in and its three
tool-owned section headings, the naming forms, the tone, the relationship-label vocabulary, the
confidence rubric. That file binds exactly as this one does; it is simply owned by the instance
rather than by the stack, so the distribution ships only its `.template` and the instance writes
the real one. Read both, plus the target collection's `kb/<name>/COLLECTION.md` (also
instance-owned), before writing or editing a page.
The split is by **who may change the sentence**, not by what it is about. Language, tone and
naming used to sit here, which meant every instance that answered "not German" to
`setup-instance.md` was locally editing a file the stack also ships - and a merge from upstream
would quietly hand it back.

## Naming
## Titles are identifiers
- Human-readable titles with spaces: `Hybrid Search.md`, `Gitea Actions.md` - not kebab-case.
- Singular for entities: `ha-core.md`, not `ha-cores.md`.
- Comparison pages read as a comparison: `Go vs Rust.md`.
- ADRs are prefixed: `adr-001-use-go-modules.md`.
- The filename stem *is* the page title, and `[[wikilinks]]` must match it exactly.
- Prefer readability over convention when the two conflict.
**The filename stem *is* the page title, and `[[wikilinks]]` must match it exactly.** That is
not a naming preference; it is the wiki's only way to address a page. `wikitool lint` reports an
H1 that stops matching its title, `rename`/`rm` rewrite every reference to a stem, and a
`[^cite-id]` resolves through one.

## Language
Pages are written in **German**. This binds `kb/` and the authoring surface that shapes it -
the page type-specs `types/entity.md`, `types/concept.md`, `types/source.md` and
`types/comparison.md`. `raw/` is untouched ([raw/CONTRACT.md](../raw/CONTRACT.md)), and the
control plane stays English: AGENTS.md, the stage contracts including this one, `instructions/`,
and the type-specs for non-page artifacts.
*Which* language pages are written in is [kb/CONVENTIONS.md](CONVENTIONS.md)'s to say. What
follows here is the part that is not a choice, because the tool resolves against it.
