    • Consolidated the first-level checkliist and second-level checklist into a single checklist.
    • Removed the approach for quantifying each criteria into a score and weighting that score with the criteria’s importance. This approach was something I experimented with but ultimately found that it didn’t work in practice.
    • Added a lightweight version of the checklist that includes only two criteria from each category.

Auto-generated list of updated pages

This list is auto-generated based on the last-modified timestamp on pages, scoped to the last 60 days. How does the script work? Every page has a “Last updated” line below the title. This script looks for any pages with a timestamp that appears within the last 60 days.

Seeing what content has been updated

To see what’s been updated on the page, click the GitHub button next to the timestamp on the page:
