+## 📋 Wiki Maintenance Protocol
+
+Every time a new article is added, the following **MUST** be updated to maintain index integrity:
+
+1.  **`SUMMARY.md`**: Add the article to the navigation tree.
+2.  **Category Index**: Update the `index.md` within the specific domain folder (e.g., `05-troubleshooting/index.md`).
+3.  **Main `index.md`**: 
+    - Update the **Article count**.
+    - Add the article to the domain section.
+    - Add the article to the **Recently Updated** table.
+4.  **Root `README.md`**: Sync with the main `index.md` (Article count, domain lists, and Recently Updated).
+
 > [!note] The rsync one-liner in the Update Workflow section above was a one-off during initial setup. It is no longer the canonical method.
