FAQPage Schema
How do I rebuild my wiki from scratch when incremental fixes won't correct content drift?

To rebuild a wiki from scratch when incremental fixes fail, use the archive plus rebuild mode. This mode archives your current wiki state to a timestamped directory before clearing the live wiki, then reconstructs it from all sources to resolve drift.

What is the safest way to archive wiki content before a major change or rollback?

The safest way to archive wiki content before a major change is using the archive only mode. It stores your current wiki state in timestamped directories with metadata, keeping archives intact and updating index.md and log.md during the operation.

Can I restore an older version of my wiki from a previous archive?

Yes, you can restore an older wiki version from a previous archive. The restore mode enforces safety rules that confirm with you before clearing the live wiki, then recovers the selected archive state to roll back unwanted changes.

How do I start over with a clean wiki without losing my current knowledge base?

To start over with a clean wiki without losing data, trigger an archive and rebuild workflow. This process safely archives your existing knowledge base with metadata into _archives before clearing the live wiki and rebuilding from all sources.

When should I use a full wiki refresh instead of applying incremental updates?

You should use a full wiki refresh when your wiki has drifted too far from its sources and incremental updates are insufficient. This approach archives the current state and rebuilds the entire wiki to ensure accuracy.

Does the wiki rebuild process require confirmation before deleting my live wiki data?

Yes, the wiki rebuild process enforces safety rules that require explicit confirmation with the user before clearing the live wiki. It also ensures archives remain intact while updating index.md, log.md, and archive directories.
