MWMS Document Registry

Document Type: Registry
Status: Active
Version: v1.1
Authority: MWMS HeadOffice
Applies To: All MWMS documentation pages
Parent: MWMS Canon
Last Reviewed: 2026-03-15

Purpose

This registry is the control surface for MWMS documentation governance.

It exists to record:

• which documents exist
• which Brain or system area owns them
• which document type they belong to
• whether the document header has been standardised
• which pages are reference pages and do not require full governance headers

This registry is used to manage documentation cleanup in a controlled way.

Scope

This registry applies to all current MWMS WordPress documentation pages across:

• System
• Governance
• HeadOffice
• Operations
• Ads Brain
• Affiliate Brain
• Research Brain
• Experimentation Brain
• Finance Brain
• SIT Brain
• AIBS Brain
• PPL Brain
• Strategy Brain
• Risk Brain

This document governs documentation inventory, provisional classification, and header-standardisation tracking across the MWMS ecosystem.

It does not govern:

• page naming rules by themselves
• canon authority by itself
• Brain operating scope by itself
• technical implementation work
• content inside the listed documents themselves

Those remain governed by the relevant MWMS standards, canons, and architecture documents.

Definition / Rules

Status Definitions

Needs Header

Document should receive a standardised header.

Header Complete

Document header has been reviewed and standardised.

Reference – No Header Required

Document is informational, navigational, or dashboard / reference based and does not require a full governance header.

Review Later

Document exists but classification or header decision should be reviewed later.

Registry

Document | Area | Document Type | Header Status

Notes

This registry is Version 1 and may contain duplicate legacy naming patterns and provisional classifications.

Where duplicates exist, the standardised title should be treated as authoritative.

Reference pages may still receive light headers later if desired, but they do not require full governance headers.

Final Rule

The MWMS – Document Registry is the working control surface for documentation cleanup.

A page may exist before it is fully standardised, but it must still be classified, tracked, and visible here if it is part of the MWMS documentation system.

Drift Protection

The system must prevent:

• documentation pages existing without registry visibility
• cleanup work occurring without tracking header status
• duplicate legacy names remaining unresolved without notation
• reference pages being forced into full-governance format unnecessarily
• document classification drift across areas and Brains
• documentation cleanup becoming informal or memory-based

Documentation governance must remain tracked, visible, and deliberately managed.

Architectural Intent

MWMS – Document Registry exists to give MWMS a single operational registry for documentation cleanup, classification, and header-standardisation tracking.

Its role is to make documentation governance manageable during system expansion so cleanup work can occur in a controlled sequence without losing visibility over what exists, what is standardised, and what still needs review.
