What these connections mean
The Reading Room indexes researched articles from the wiki’s published collection. Automatic census pages remain in the resident, place and thing directories and in site search.
A line means that two articles link the exact same city record, or that one contains an explicit link to the other. A shared place record can simply put two accounts in the same setting. These connections do not establish friendship, agreement, authorship or present ownership.
The ledger covers linked notes, things and places. Unlinked citations and automatically linked names are not counted, so it is an index of linked records rather than a claim to list every source. It updates as articles are published; it does not inspect the live city anew or advance an article’s content or inspection cutoff.
Reading times are approximate. Illustrations retain the interpretation and approval labels on their original articles. Read the editorial method for the wiki’s wider boundaries.
