Daily search queries
Launch-week material changes quickly, especially community discoveries, performance reports and video guides. These searches should be treated as inputs for a review queue, not as facts ready to paste into the site.
| Query | What it catches | Publish after |
|---|---|---|
| Big Walk | General news, store snippets and broad web mentions | Source quality and date are checked. |
| Big Walk review | Reviews, roundups and launch reception | Scores or claims are captured with date and outlet. |
| Big Walk guide | New beginner guides, walkthroughs and collectible routes | Route is credited and spoiler-labeled. |
| Big Walk puzzle | Puzzle hints, solutions and stuck-player questions | Solution is reproduced or marked unverified. |
| Big Walk map | Map rooms, coordinates, landmarks and fan route notes | Coordinates are checked against a clear landmark. |
| Big Walk Switch 2 performance | Platform-specific performance reports | Compared with patch version and multiple reports. |
| Big Walk Steam Deck | Handheld compatibility and settings reports | Validated against current Steam/PCGamingWiki data. |
| Big Walk voice chat | Audio, proximity chat and communication issues | Compared with official FAQ guidance. |
| Big Walk LFG | Group-finding needs and community server links | Private IDs are removed and servers are labeled unofficial. |
Pages to watch
These pages are the standing monitoring list. Check official pages first, then dynamic community and video sources.
| Page | Watch for | Frequency |
|---|---|---|

Update record fields
Every new material entry should leave enough information for the next editor to audit it later. This is especially important for dynamic pages such as Steam reviews and Reddit threads.
| Field | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Capture time | Shows when a dynamic fact was observed. |
| Platform or version | Separates PC, Mac, PS5, Switch 2 and patch-specific behavior. |
| Source URL | Keeps attribution and verification traceable. |
| Content type | Distinguishes official fact, review, route, screenshot, community report or bug report. |
| Spoiler status | Controls how visibly the information should appear. |
| Verification status | Says whether the wiki reproduced the result or only recorded a lead. |
| Rights status | Clarifies whether the wiki can embed, quote, summarize, link or must avoid reuse. |
| Publish format | Determines whether the item becomes a page, table row, source card, update note or private lead. |
How to turn a lead into a page update
Start by adding the source card, then add the smallest useful content update with a visible verification note. If the material is a route or puzzle, keep the first paragraph spoiler-light and move exact coordinates or full solutions into a clearly labeled section.
After editing, run the production build, check the new route through the static preview and confirm the sitemap or homepage contains the new entry when appropriate.
