[TEST] Behind the Wiki: How This Documentation Site Is Organized

๐Ÿงช This is a TEST article. It only demonstrates how a short, human-authored post looks on the blog list. Please delete the file blog/2026-09-13-behind-the-wiki.md after testing.

A quick meta note for the curious: this wiki is organized around one question โ€” you have a board, what fits it? Everything else hangs off that.

The four shelves of the wikiโ€‹

  • Product pages โ€” one page per case, rack and accessory, each with specifications, package lists and assembly steps.
  • The compatibility matrix โ€” the single most-linked page on the site, because "will it fit?" beats "what is it?" most days.
  • Guides โ€” longer narratives like the RackMate build guide that walk through a whole project instead of one product.
  • Support pages โ€” the troubleshooting and downloads sections that catch whatever the product pages do not cover.

Why a blog, then?โ€‹

Product pages have to stay factual and stable: a specification is either right or it is not. Experiences, build stories and lessons learned do not fit that format โ€” they are opinionated, dated and conversational. Giving them a separate stream keeps the reference pages clean while still letting us share what we learn. That is exactly the split you are looking at now.
