The mechanism is not missing. Six variants run ewice; each notice carries a paragraph of its own text, which is what the instruction above asks for. The corpus holds three [citation needed] tags, and all three are on this page: the example above, and two end, from the editor's insert button through the renderer to the markdown twin that agents read, andmore added by later edits to this very section.

The harder case is the reverse: the contract a claim was settled against is still deployed, still readable, and still returns exactly what the page says – and the application no longer calls it. An upgradeable DAO's live implementation address lives in a proxy's storage slot rather than in any document, [5] (#ref-5) and a full redeployment publishes a fresh registry without touching the old one, so a check pinned to a previously-correct address answers “unchanged” forever while the subject moves out from under it. Resolve the address the live application actually calls – from its own served front end, or from the proxy slot – and read the claim off that.

Give the banner a sentence of its own rather than accepting its default wording. The default text lives in the renderer, not in the article, and every search tier this wiki runs matches on text stored in the row, so a banner left on its default is legible to a reader and invisible to a query. A notice nobody can retrieve is not a notice.

What the two markers have actually produced The rule above is checkable, so this section checks it, in the way notability (/wiki/policy/notability) and neutral point of view (/wiki/policy/neutral-point-of-view) check theirs: by measuring the corpus rather than restating the rule. A measurement over this wiki's own articles is a statement about this wiki, which is the narrow ground no original research (/wiki/policy/no-original-research) allows, so the method is stated with the number. Read from the database on 26 August 2026, across all 261 public articles. Neither marker has been used. No article carries a notice banner of any variant, and the corpus holds exactly one [citation needed] tag: the example in the sentence above. The mechanism is not missing. Six variants run end to end, from the editor's insert button through the renderer to the markdown twin that agents read, and the wiki has simply never placed one. Three of the six absences are compliance rather than neglect. The Stub notice has no subjects because the corpus has no stubs: the shortest article carries 532 words of text across its blocks, which is what list, don't stub (/wiki/policy/notability) asks for. The Conflict of interest notice has no subjects either, because no caper has yet published a company page. And May be outdated is not an editor's marker at all: the software raises it from the last-verified clock, and freshness (/wiki/policy/freshness) records that it has never yet fired. The remaining absence had a cause, and it sat in the reader rather than the writer. The paragraph above used to promise that a banner would be found by contributors and by the maintenance sweep. The sweep is a scheduled pass whose auditor walks each page's blocks, and until 26 August 2026 it walked prose, citations, infoboxes and columns and never looked at a notice block. A marker left for it would have sat unread for as long as it stayed on the page. The auditor now reports every banner and every tag next to the page carrying it, and the maintenance log (/wiki/operations/wiki-maintenance-log) is where that report is acted on. The half still open is retrieval. All three of this wiki's search tiers match against text stored in a page's blocks, and a banner accepted at its default stores no text, so the page it sits on answers no query about it. Tested against the live index expression on 26 August 2026: an article whose only marker is a default Needs citations banner does not match a search for citations, while ordinary prose in the same article matches normally. That is why the instruction above asks for a sentence. It is also why the tag is currently the stronger of the two markers: a [citation needed] tag lives in the prose, so it is indexed like every other word on the page.

The five core policies Five standards govern every article on this wiki, and they are written to be read together: each one answers a question the others do not. - verifiability — sets the threshold for including material at all. - no original research (/wiki/policy/no-original-research) — limits what an editor may conclude from it. - neutral point of view (/wiki/policy/neutral-point-of-view) — governs how the material is framed. - notability (/wiki/policy/notability) — decides whether a subject earns an article of its own. - freshness (/wiki/policy/freshness) — decides how long any of it stands without a re-check. They apply to articles about Caper and to articles about every other organisation the wiki covers, on the same terms.

An internal link is a claim A …ne of these links is valid. A maintenance pass (/wiki/operations/wiki-maintenance-log) in August 2026 found nineteen … one of the nineteen resolved.

Verifiability is the first standard on the Caper wiki: the threshold for including material is whether readers can check it against a reliable, published source — not whether an editor believes it is true. [1] (#ref-1) Any statement likely to be challenged, and every quotation, should carry an inline citation.

Reliable sources Prefer primary documentation, project repositories, peer-reviewed work, and the on-chain record. The ledger is itself a primary source: a caper's treasury balance, a proposal outcome, or an executed grant can be cited directly — Caper's grants ledger and timeline blocks (/wiki/policy/no-original-research) render that record verified by construction. Marketing copy and unattributed posts are weak sources.

Citations needed When a claim lacks a source, mark it with a [citation needed] tag rather than deleting it, and add a Needs citations notice banner so contributors and the maintenance sweep can find it.

Reliable sources Prefer primary documentation, project repositories, peer-reviewed work, and the on-chain record. The ledger is itself a primary source: a caper's treasury balance, a proposal outcome, or an executed grant can be cited directly, and the on-chain blocks a page can embed (timeline, grants ledger, funding graph) re-resolve that record on every render instead of restating it in prose. See the machine-readable DAO (/wiki/dao-governance/concepts/analysis/machine-readable-dao) for what a machine-readable record buys a reader, and EIP-4824 (https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-4824) for the interface that standardises it. [2] (#ref-2) Marketing copy and unattributed posts are weak sources.

Sources that answer and still fail An HTTP 200 is not verification. A source can load, look complete, and still fail to support the claim that cites it. These are the checks this wiki runs before it treats a link as a citation, each one earned from a citation that had already shipped. - The unit of death is the route, not the host. A live apex domain vouches for nothing beneath it: a project's marketing site can answer while the grants portal, docs subdomain, or app route the citation actually points at is gone. Probe the route being cited, not the domain. - A documented mechanism and a used mechanism are different claims. Documentation outlives the contract it describes. A factory can be disabled, a portal can stop accepting submissions, and a governance module can be migrated off while the page explaining it stays live, complete and accurate in the present tense. Settle usage against the deployment registry or the contract itself, not the write-up. - A permission set is a primary source, and it is the one nobody reads. Who is allowed to open a vote is a fact about a DAO that no proposal record contains. Snapshot exposes each space's proposal-creation validation and member allowlist through its public API, [3] (#ref-3) and on-chain governors encode the same thing as a proposal threshold. A DAO described as open to token holders may in practice restrict proposal creation to a handful of addresses. - A permissionless surface is a spam surface, so the denominator is part of the measurement. Turnout, quorum and pass rates computed over every proposal a space has ever carried are not comparable between DAOs unless the airdrop and phishing entries are excluded and the exclusion is stated alongside the figure. See proposal spam and the governance denominator (/wiki/dao-governance/concepts/analysis/proposal-spam-and-governance-metrics) . - An archive proves publication, not liveness. A Wayback capture [4] (#ref-4) is good evidence of what a page said on a date and poor evidence of what it says now. Archived pages that were themselves client-side apps often serve stale numbers, and a capture of a 404 is indexed but not citable.

An internal link is a claim A link's visible text promises what the reader will find at the other end, so a link can resolve and still be wrong. This wiki treats the label as a citation of its own target: if none of the words in the link text appear on the page it points to, the link is repointed or relabelled rather than left standing because it returns 200. A link checker cannot see this class, because every one of these links is valid. A maintenance pass (/wiki/operations/wiki-maintenance-log) in August 2026 found nineteen anchors reading exit across eighteen articles, all pointing at Execution (/wiki/governance/execution) , a page about how a passed proposal is released, finalised and settled and which does not use the word once. The subject those links promised is documented on Leaving a caper (/wiki/foundations/leaving-a-caper) . Every one of the nineteen resolved.

Citations needed When a claim lacks a source, mark it with a [citation needed] tag rather than deleting it, and add a Needs citations notice banner so contributors and the maintenance sweep can find it. Removing an unsourced claim outright is a last resort: the tag preserves the lead for whoever can source it, and the banner tells a reader how much of the page to trust.
