Entity Identity

Search exact names, aliases, and nearby slugs before creating entity pages; stable identity lives in canonical slugs plus aliases.

Resolver Status

This companion summarizes Entity Identity Protocol. The full protocol owns canonical slug, alias, dedupe, merge, ledger, and redirect behavior. Source: User request, 2026-07-01

Before Create

1. qmd search "{name}" for exact and fuzzy matches.
2. Search aliases, handles, emails, old names, and capitalization variants.
3. Check nearby directory slugs.
4. Decide standalone page vs ledger row with Wiki Brain Operating Model.
5. Create through Filing Decision Tree only if no survivor exists.

Identity Rule

Prefer stable canonical slugs over presentation names. Add aliases for alternate spellings and old names. If pages merge, preserve old retrieval through aliases and redirects.

Closeout

If this rule changes, update Filing Decision Tree first, then this companion page, relevant directory READMEs, generated packs if routing changed, wiki/_index.md, qmd, and wiki/log.md. Source: Index Logging Protocol, 2026-07-01
