Working list of pages that need editorial attention. This is a manually maintained starting point — {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Pages Needing Review}} pages carry the {{tl\|Article status}} tracking category automatically once tagged; this page is for human notes that don't fit neatly into that.

	== ~~Structural pages with placeholder content~~ ==		== Engineering section — populated (2026-08-07) ==
	All ~~of the following were created during initial deployment as navigational skeletons~~, ~~deliberately~~ '''~~without invented gameplay facts~~''~~' (see~~ [[Elite Dangerous Field Manual:~~Editorial~~ Policy]]). ~~They need real content written and verified before they carry a ''Verified'' status:~~		All 25 Ship Engineers and 13 Odyssey Engineers now have real, sourced content (locations, unlock requirements, specialties — see each page's own Sources section), not structural placeholders. Depth varies: [[Broo Tarquin]], [[Felicity Farseer]], [[Liz Ryder]], and [[Hera Tani]] got full research passes and are the quality-gate examples; the rest are researched at an "achievable depth" with single-sourced items explicitly flagged inline. All carry <code>status=Needs review</code> — none should be moved to ''Verified'' without a named reviewer checking claims directly against the live game, per [[Elite Dangerous Field Manual:Verification Policy]].

			== Content architecture phase — demonstration content (2026-08-07) ==
			Structural backbone (categories, templates, JSON/Lua data pipeline, topic hubs, redirects, editor docs) built this pass. The following are proof-of-concept pages, deliberately small and marked Draft, not yet complete:
			* [[List of Engineers]], [[Engineer Capability Comparison]] — structured-data proof of concept, only 4 of 38 Engineers backed by a JSON record so far.
			* [[Unlocking Broo Tarquin]] — the only guide built so far demonstrating the encyclopedia/guide split.
			* [[Thargoid War History]] — Galactic Archive structural placeholder, no researched history yet.
			* [[Trailblazers]] — Game Update proof of concept; date/version corroborated by two sources but Frontier's own update-notes page couldn't be fetched directly to confirm the exact client version string.
			* [[Exploration]], [[Exobiology]], [[Combat]], [[Trade]], [[Mining]], [[Background Simulation]], [[Fleet Carriers]], [[Guardian]], [[Thargoid]] — new topic hub stubs, no individual articles yet.

	Page structure/templates/categories only — see [[Elite Dangerous Field Manual:Engineering Architecture]] for how this is organised.

Sythan: EDFM initial deployment: seed initial page structure

EDFM initial deployment: seed initial page structure

New page

Working list of pages that need editorial attention. This is a manually maintained starting point — {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Pages Needing Review}} pages carry the {{tl|Article status}} tracking category automatically once tagged; this page is for human notes that don't fit neatly into that.

== Structural pages with placeholder content ==
All of the following were created during initial deployment as navigational skeletons, deliberately '''without invented gameplay facts''' (see [[Elite Dangerous Field Manual:Editorial Policy]]). They need real content written and verified before they carry a ''Verified'' status:

* [[Start Here]]
* [[New Commander Roadmap]]
* [[Returning Commander Overview]]
* [[Field Procedures]]
* [[Game Reference]]
* [[Ships and Equipment]]
* [[Engineering]]
* [[Odyssey]]
* [[Powerplay]]
* [[Colonisation]]
* [[Operations]]
* [[Lore and History]]
* [[Tools and Resources]]

== Open project decisions ==
* Content/code licensing — see [[Elite Dangerous Field Manual:Legal and Trademark Notice]].
* Whether/when to enable public registration — see [[Elite Dangerous Field Manual:Contributing]].
* Whether/when to enable SVG uploads — see [[Elite Dangerous Field Manual:Screenshot Policy]].
* Cloudflare + DNS cutover and real TLS certificate — see `/opt/edwiki/docs/cloudflare-manual-setup.md`.
