PUBLIC REVIEW LEDGER

Which pages were reviewed—and when?

Short live windows protect time-sensitive claims. Dossiers and evergreen references use longer intervals. A new review never erases history; it appends an immutable event with a visible before/after diff whenever something material changes.

What this ledger deliberately does not claim

“Fresh” means reviewed inside the declared window. It does not make rumors true or claim Blizzard changed nothing unpublished. Source radar, human verification, and this freshness ledger remain separate safety layers.
