Permitted assistance

Generative tools may be used to organize notes, suggest outlines, identify possible data checks, or prepare a draft for a human editor. Automated systems may also transform structured data into clearly labeled tables or summaries when the output is deterministic and can be tested against the source records.

Prohibited uses

• Inventing facts, sources, credentials, firsthand experience, or quotations.
• Writing in the identity of a real or fictional expert and presenting that identity as a byline.
• Publishing generated recommendations or historical claims without source verification.
• Using a scheduled data refresh to imply that generated prose received a new human review.
• Publishing a large indexable batch solely to capture search queries.

Required review

A human reviewer must compare factual claims with the cited source, check every displayed card and price relationship, remove unsupported language, confirm disclosures, and accept responsibility for the final page. Material that has not passed that process must remain a non-indexable draft or a clearly data-only interface.

Legacy automated corpus

PokedexWiki previously published automated ranking drafts without this gate. The generation schedules and direct-publishing scripts are disabled. The affected pages are excluded from search indexing, generated commentary is hidden, and the former personal expert attribution has been removed while the corpus is evaluated.

Disclosure and correction

Where automation materially contributes to public content, the role of the automation must be disclosed in language a reader can understand. Suspected generated errors can be reported through the corrections process.
