Encyclopedic Neutral-Reference Writing
A skill that turns Wikipedia's editing tradition (NPOV, summary style, MoS) into concrete criteria for writing and reviewing neutral wiki reference pages.

What it does
- Neutrality (NPOV) checks: never state opinions as facts, require attribution (named subject + source + figure/quote), and strip weasel words like "many experts believe".
- Due weight: allocate coverage in proportion to prominence in reliable sources and label minority views as such, avoiding false balance.
- Neutral faction labels: forbid value-laden wording for only one side; unify both on a structural axis ("replacement vs augmentation"), with a localization mapping table for Korean renderings.
- Wikilink conventions: minimum link density, one link per term per section at first mention, denser links in the lead, human-readable aliases instead of raw slugs, and first-use abbreviation glossing.
- Roll-up and hub pages: {{Main}} drill-down links, coatrack/scope discipline, spinning off over-long anchor pages, and grouping long connection lists.
Who it's for
- Teams running an internal wiki, knowledge base, or research hub with multiple writers.
- Editors and analysts who must cover contested topics without taking sides.
- Operators of review pipelines for LLM-generated reference documents.
Example uses
- Drafting an "AI and employment" issue page: pick symmetric tension-axis headings and attach a named source, date, and figure to each claim.
- Rewriting "Many experts believe coastal cities are at risk" into "The IPCC warned of coastal-city risk in its 2021 report."
- Auditing a landscape overview: add drill-down links to each subsection and demote repeated wikilinks inside a section to plain text.
