Template:Legend

Renders the full reliability tag legend from Module:Reliability. Transcluded on the Main Page and in Help:Reading this wiki. Takes no parameters — the point is that it cannot fall out of step with Template:R.

Tag	What it means when you see it
firsthand	Someone claims they were there. Uncorroborated by definition — a seeker who survives an encounter is not thereby a reliable witness to it.
astroturf	A claim that is made to look like many independent people arriving at the same conclusion, and is not. Manufactured human consensus — as distinct from synthetic?, which is text with no person behind it at all.
unverified	The default state of everything here. Written down, passed on, never confirmed. Absence of this tag means nothing; assume it.
contested	Two or more accounts survive and they do not agree. Both are recorded. Do not resolve the contradiction by deleting half of it.
leaked	Taken from a cult, an agency or a private archive by someone without permission. Consider who benefited from you reading it.
defector	Supplied by a former member of the body it describes. Detailed, bitter, and shaped by the leaving.
inherited	Copied from an older tome or an older wiki by hands that did not understand it. Errors here are centuries deep.
⚠ warning	Reading, repeating or attempting this has hurt people. The entry is kept because hiding it has also hurt people.
synthetic?	Suspected of having been written by no one. Style without a source behind it. See The Pattern.
