Self Motivation updates pages when a change affects the route a reader should use next. This page explains what triggers a revision, what counts as a material update, and how corrections are surfaced.
What triggers an update
- A source changes the practical takeaway, boundary, or linked destination.
- A trust page, internal route, or canonical target breaks.
- A page drifts into duplicate, stale, or over-broad coverage and needs cleanup.
Minor vs material changes
- Minor wording, formatting, or typo fixes may be made without a separate note when they do not change the reader decision.
- Material changes should be visible on the page when they alter the next route, correction status, or boundary of the advice.
- When a route changes meaningfully, the change should also be eligible for the Updates page instead of hiding in a silent rewrite.
What happens to stale pages
- We revise, redirect, demote, or remove stale route shells instead of leaving them crawlable just because they still return 200.
- If a page no longer fits planning scope, it should narrow, hand off, or stop competing with the stronger route.
