Maintaining The Wiki

This wiki is designed to keep growing with the folder. The generator scans the research sources, refreshes the archive pages, copies public-safe original files into the site, and rebuilds the listings catalog automatically.

  1. Add new research files anywhere in this repository except docs/, site/, or tools/.
  2. Run python tools/generate_wiki.py.
  3. Run python -m mkdocs build.
  4. Open site/index.html to review the result, or run python -m mkdocs serve for a local preview server.

What the generator does:

  • It inventories the source files and creates a source-archive page for each one.
  • It copies public-safe original files into the site so they can be downloaded later.
  • It withholds raw money-transfer source files from the public site and replaces them with redacted archive pages.
  • It groups the files into property research, money and tax research, audio notes, and general background material.
  • It links audio archive pages to matching transcript text files whenever those transcript files are present in the folder.
  • It extracts property links from the Lahore listing and market-research documents, then classifies them into plot versus house and 5 Marla versus 10 Marla buckets wherever the source makes that visible.
  • It keeps an all-links audit page so missed links are easier to spot when new files are added.
  • It keeps uncategorized or new files visible in the archive so they do not disappear from view.

Current limitation:

If a new transcript file is added, it will be archived automatically and linked to its matching audio file, but any clean English translation or family-facing summary page still needs a manual pass so the meaning is not distorted by rough machine transcription.
