Knowledge wiki home page — design intent
editorial(applications): re-verify knowledge-wiki-home-page-design (Track-B) — confirmed the home() handler in app.rs renders categories dynamically via nav_cats(&state) reading categories.yaml (currently 15 categories, not the article's claimed 9 or the 2026-08-02 correction's claimed 10 — no hardcoded HOMEPAGE_CATEGORIES constant exists either); confirmed home() emits zero JSON-LD (only category_page/article handlers do) — reframed the slot-structure claim as planned, not shipped; dropped a specific category count in favor of describing the dynamic mechanism, since the real count changes with normal category work (as this same session's own Track-B passes have shown); fixed a duplicate body H1 on both EN+ES

Its home page inherits Wikipedia's Main Page structural conventions — the gold standard for general-knowledge home pages — and extends that inheritance with capabilities Wikipedia's governance model has been structurally unable to ship, following the [[wikipedia-leapfrog-design|leapfrog design philosophy]]. This article explains the design intent: what is preserved from Wikipedia, what is added beyond it, and what engineering and financial-community readers each encounter when they arrive. @@ -41,7 +39,7 @@ Ten structural slots compose Wikipedia's English Main Page. The PointSav home pa **Featured article.** Wikipedia's Today's Featured Article enforces a 909–1,009 character blurb — character count, not word count. The PointSav home page preserves the format invariant: bolded linked title, body-register paraphrase of the article lead, "→ Read" closer. The featured article rotates as the editorial pipeline warrants; the current rotation cadence is weekly. **Browse by category.** Wikipedia surfaces topics through its category system. The PointSav home page surfaces all nine ratified categories — architecture, services, systems, applications, governance, infrastructure, company, reference, help — in a 3×3 grid. The grid renders all nine even when a category is empty, so the platform's intended scope is visible at launch. (Correction, 2026-08-02: `company`/`help` were retired 16 days before this article's own last-edited date, commit `ff23832`/`2e843fb`, 2026-05-09 — the real category count is 10, not 9, and neither `company` nor `help` exist. The real home-page browse grid, `HOMEPAGE_CATEGORIES`, is a 7-tile marketing IA — "Developer Platform," "Operator Workspace," etc. — not a literal 3×3 grid of category names. Flagged, not resolved.) **Browse by category.** Wikipedia surfaces topics through its category system. The PointSav home page surfaces every ratified category as a card, rendered directly from the wiki's category registry rather than a hand-maintained list — a category that gains its first article appears on the home page on the next render, with no template change required. **Recent additions.** The top five articles by `last_edited` date, in descending order. The intent matches Wikipedia's Did You Know section: signal that the corpus is actively maintained and give returning readers a reason to return. @@ -53,11 +51,11 @@ The blue link colour, sans-serif headings, the absence of bold except for articl ## Extensions beyond Wikipedia Five primitives extend Wikipedia's home-page composition.

Three are planned for later iterations. ### Machine-readable slot structure ### Machine-readable slot structure (planned) Wikipedia's home page has no structured data describing its slots. The PointSav home page emits JSON-LD per slot — the featured-article slot as a typed `Article` reference, the recent-additions slot as an `ItemList`, the category grid as a typed `WebPageElement` collection. Downstream consumers — feed readers, voice interfaces, language models — receive structure rather than prose to infer. (Correction, 2026-08-02: zero JSON-LD code exists in the real home-page handler — `src/jsonld.rs` implements JSON-LD only for individual TOPIC pages, not the home page. Flagged, not resolved.) Wikipedia's home page has no structured data describing its slots. Individual TOPIC pages already emit JSON-LD structured data; extending the same treatment to the home page's own slots — the featured-article slot as a typed `Article` reference, the recent-additions slot as an `ItemList` — is a natural next step, not yet built. Today the home page itself carries no structured data of its own; only the articles it links to do. ### Editorial-labour cadence as visible signal
