Comprehensive incoherence analysis across all English mockup files
The phrase "an libre licensed" appears across 9+ pages. English grammar requires "a" before consonant sounds. Additionally, "libre licensed" should be hyphenated as a compound adjective: "libre-licensed."
| URL | support/buy-tickets.html |
|---|---|
| Current | WikiDeal is an libre licensed R&D project |
| Proposed | WikiDeal is a libre-licensed Applied R&D project |
| Reason | "An" is used before vowel sounds; "libre" starts with /l/ (consonant). Hyphenate the compound adjective. |
| URL | index.html |
|---|---|
| Current | Free Licence · libre licensed |
| Proposed | Libre-Licensed · AGPL v3 |
| Reason | "Free Licence" and "libre licensed" say the same thing in different words. The standard WikiDeal terminology uses "libre-licensed" consistently. "Free" is ambiguous in English (gratis vs. libre). Pairing with "AGPL v3" is more informative. |
Across all mockup files, financial contributors to WikiDeal are referred to by 4 different terms: funder (37 occurrences), supporter (15), donor (15), and backer (2). The glossary defines "Support / Soutien" as the act of contributing and "funder" as the person, yet other pages use "donor," "supporter," and "backer" interchangeably.
| URL | support/dashboard.html |
|---|---|
| Current | Early supporter reward |
| Proposed | Early Funder reward |
| Reason | The glossary defines the canonical term as "funder" (Soutien). All references to the person who financially contributes should use "funder" consistently. "Supporter" is vague (could mean moral support), "donor" implies pure charity (conflicts with reward mechanics), "backer" is startup/crowdfunding jargon. |
The group of initial WikiDeal contributors is called three different things across the site. The glossary has an anchor #g-early-supporter but the prototype-1.html page consistently uses "early funders" (9 times). This creates confusion about whether these are distinct groups.
| URL | wiki/credits-explained.html |
|---|---|
| Current | Early supporter credits / Early backer: donates 1 CHF |
| Proposed | Early Funder credits / Early Funder: donates 1 CHF |
| Reason | Align with wiki/prototype-1.html which uses "Early Funders" as the canonical section heading. The glossary anchor should also be updated from #g-early-supporter to #g-early-funder. |
The FAQ and Terms use "investor-funders" and "investors" to describe funder categories, directly contradicting the legal disclaimers on the same pages that state "This is NOT an investment."
| URL | support/faq.html |
|---|---|
| Current | CHF 12/year (CHF 2 early funders + CHF 10 investors) |
| Proposed | CHF 12/year (CHF 2 early funders + CHF 10 standard funders) |
| Reason | Using "investors" undermines the legal position that WikiDeal contributions are "NOT an investment." The term "standard funders" or "regular funders" preserves the distinction without the legal risk. |
The subscription price is described in at least 4 different ways across the site, creating confusion about what users actually pay:
| URL | index.html |
|---|---|
| Current | 10 CHF/yr · Platform Subscription (or 12 CHF monthly) |
| Proposed | 10 CHF/yr · Platform Subscription (or 1 CHF/month) |
| Reason | "or 12 CHF monthly" literally says the monthly price is CHF 12 — which is actually the annual total when paying monthly (1 CHF × 12 + management fee). This is factually misleading. The monthly price is 1 CHF. Additionally, the subscription-model page should be the canonical reference for pricing, and all other pages should link to it rather than restating prices differently. |
"Membership" is used to mean both the recurring subscription ("WikiDeal Membership ≈1 EUR/month") and the bonding-curve units issued to funders ("50 million memberships allocated to early funders"). This creates fundamental confusion about what a "membership" is in the WikiDeal system.
| URL | wiki/prototype-1.html |
|---|---|
| Current | 50 million memberships are allocated to early funders |
| Proposed | 50 million Credits are allocated to Early Funders |
| Reason | The glossary defines "Subscription" as "CHF 10 face value. Grants one vote in governance." The bonding-curve unit should be called "Credit" (or "WikiDeal Credit") consistently, not "membership." "Membership" should be reserved exclusively for the subscription relationship. |
Most pages use British English "programme" (taxi-coop, street-fundraising, separation, coop-housing, glossary). However, marketplace/leisure.html uses American "Program" in section headers and body text.
| URL | marketplace/leisure.html |
|---|---|
| Current | Program Types / the program launches automatically |
| Proposed | Programme Types / the programme launches automatically |
| Reason | WikiDeal uses British English conventions throughout (licence, colour, programme). The leisure page should be consistent. The glossary formally defines "Programme" (British spelling). |
The mockup files use at least three distinct navigation layouts:
| URL | wiki/about.html |
|---|---|
| Current | 📊 Funding ▼ (sidebar nav) |
| Proposed | Standardise all pages to Type A navigation (majority pattern), or document the Type B sidebar as the new target and migrate all pages |
| Reason | Users clicking between pages encounter completely different navigation structures. This breaks the sense of a unified site and makes it impossible to find the same feature from different pages. |
The top navigation "Fund" button links to support/buy-memberships.html across all pages. However, support/buy-tickets.html exists as a near-duplicate with the same content but using "Credits (WDC)" in the title and "WIL" terminology. Both pages serve the same purpose.
| URLs |
support/buy-memberships.html — Title: "Fund WikiDeal — Credits" support/buy-tickets.html — Title: "Fund WikiDeal — Credits (WDC)" |
|---|---|
| Current | Two nearly identical funding pages with slightly different terminology |
| Proposed | Consolidate into a single page (buy-memberships.html). Redirect or remove buy-tickets.html. |
| Reason | Having two funding pages with different vocabulary (one says "WIL," one says "Credits") undermines trust and confuses users. The buy-tickets.html name is also misleading — no "tickets" are being sold. |
The English navigation includes a stub link "Comité de Pilotage 🚧" — French text in an English-language site.
| URL | menu-test.html |
|---|---|
| Current | Comité de Pilotage 🚧 |
| Proposed | Steering Committee 🚧 |
| Reason | The English equivalent "Steering Committee" already exists as a wiki page (steering-committee.html). The French stub should be replaced with the English term. |
The page wiki/what-you-buy.html defines WIL as "WikiDeal Investment Licence." This directly contradicts the legal messaging on terms.html, FAQ, and buy-memberships.html which all state: "This is NOT an investment." Having the word "Investment" baked into the core credit name is a significant legal risk.
| URL | wiki/what-you-buy.html |
|---|---|
| Current | WIL — WikiDeal Investment Licence |
| Proposed | WIL — WikiDeal Involvement Licence (or similar non-financial term) |
| Reason | A Swiss regulator reviewing this page would find a product named "Investment Licence" that the same site claims is "NOT an investment." This is a contradiction that could trigger regulatory scrutiny. Alternatives: "Involvement Licence," "Interoperability Licence," or simply "WikiDeal Licence." |
Different contract pages show different commission rates with no cross-reference explaining why:
| URLs | Multiple contract and marketplace pages |
|---|---|
| Current | Different percentages with no explanation of why they differ |
| Proposed | Add a footnote or link to wiki/commissions.html explaining that "Commission rates are set at-cost per portal and reflect actual payment processing and infrastructure costs for each service type. See Commission Structure for details." |
| Reason | A user comparing babysitting (1.5%) and tutoring (1.2%) will wonder why they differ. Without explanation, it looks arbitrary — undermining the "transparent, at-cost" messaging. |
| URL | marketplace/street-fundraising.html |
|---|---|
| Current | "Community Credits: your User Group is 40 Credits from next milestone." |
| Proposed | "Miles Credits: your User Group is 40 Credits from next milestone." |
| Reason | "Community Credits" is not defined in the glossary or anywhere else. The glossary defines two credit types: Cash Credits and Miles Credits. The community-benefit allocation is called "Gift" (Priority 1). In context, this notification likely refers to Miles Credits earned through community activity. |
The glossary uses bilingual term headings ("Support / Soutien", "Gift / Rewards Communautaire", "Cash Reward / Rewards Personnel", "Priority 1 / Priorité 1") throughout. While informative for a bilingual audience, these create confusion in an English-language glossary — particularly the French-only words "Communautaire" and "Personnel."
| URL | wiki/glossary.html |
|---|---|
| Current | Gift / Rewards Communautaire |
| Proposed | Gift (fr: Récompense Communautaire) |
| Reason | Keep the French as a parenthetical note rather than an equal heading. This preserves the bilingual reference while making it clear the English term is canonical. Apply the same pattern to all bilingual headings. |
