| **Creating, not extending.** The wiki had no ''statistics:'' page at all: ''statistics:study_preregistration'', ''statistics:hypothesis_testing'', ''statistics:pvalue_corrections'', ''statistics:regression'' and ''statistics:biases'' were all red links promised from [[start]]. This is the first of the five. Nothing was overwritten and nothing on a neighbouring page was contradicted; the page links to the other four as red links, which the site already does elsewhere. | **Creating, not extending.** The wiki had no ''statistics:'' page at all: ''statistics:study_preregistration'', ''statistics:hypothesis_testing'', ''statistics:pvalue_corrections'', ''statistics:regression'' and ''statistics:biases'' were all red links promised from [[:start]].

| - **New page, not a section of an existing one.** The alternative was a section of a broader ''statistics:'' page. Rejected because [[start]] already promises this exact page id, and because the measurement-specific content — the OSF template mapping, the registry-versus-project distinction, the registered-reports venue table — does not fit under a heading in a general statistics page without swamping it. | - **New page, not a section of an existing one.** The alternative was a section of a broader ''statistics:'' page.

| - **The population is 15, not 14 and not 7.** The schema union is 14 and ''statistics.kind'' alone is 7. The published population is the full-text sweep's ''study'' sense, which is 15, because the schema demonstrably misses 9 of them. This means **the page's headline number cannot be reproduced from the extraction alone** — it needs the full text — and §4 says so. | - **The population is 15, not 14 and not 7.** The schema union is 14 and ''statistics.kind'' alone is 7.

| - **The three ''analysis-plan-only'' papers are excluded from the 15.** All three pre-specified an analysis plan and registered nothing. Including them would make the count 18 and the page's central distinction — that a commitment nobody else can check is not a preregistration — incoherent. A reasonable person could include them with a footnote. They are not dropped: they have their own section on the content page, because a reader who already writes an analysis plan is the reader most likely to act on this page. | - **The three ''analysis-plan-only'' papers are excluded from the 15.** All three pre-specified an analysis plan and registered nothing.

Removing them would make this page //less// consistent with the site, not more. It is recorded here so the next run does not "fix" it. | | | 5 | Every sibling ''statistics:'' link, plus ''design:user_studies'', ''design:automated_measurements'' and ''artifacts'', is a red link today. | **Accepted as a fact, rejected as a change.** All of them are already promised from [[:start]], and this site links promised-but-missing pages as a matter of course — ''privacy:requests'' ships red links to ''programming:crawler:pagegraph'' and ''programming:crawler:tracker_radar_collector''.

| Mechanical rendering repair only: a fresh live raw/XHTML export of 188 pages was checked with ''check_wrap.mjs'' and ''check_typography.mjs''. Affected plugin tags, CLI flags and heading markup were repaired; no figures or substantive prose were changed. The resulting source and rendered DOM were re-checked after saving. | Mechanical rendering repair only: a fresh live raw/XHTML export of 188 pages was checked with ''check_wrap.mjs'' and ''check_typography.mjs''.

| | ===== Link-hygiene sweep, 2026-09-17 ===== |
| | |
| | The fresh rendered-DOM sweep found five bare ''start'' links resolving to ''provenance:statistics:start''. They are now root-anchored; the post-save DOM was re-checked for red links. No figures or citations changed. |
