Navigating the Wiki¶

Once sources are compiled, WikiMind maintains a structured wiki of interconnected articles. This page covers how to browse, search, and understand the wiki structure.

Article Types¶

WikiMind has several page types:

Type	Description
`source`	Compiled from an ingested source (URL, PDF, text, YouTube)
`concept`	Auto-generated synthesis of all sources tagged with a concept
`answer`	Filed-back Q&A conversation
`index`	Auto-maintained master index
`meta`	System-generated metadata pages

Browsing Articles¶

List all articles¶

curl http://localhost:7842/wiki/articles

Filter articles¶

# By concept
curl "http://localhost:7842/wiki/articles?concept=machine-learning"

# By confidence level
curl "http://localhost:7842/wiki/articles?confidence=sourced"

# By page type
curl "http://localhost:7842/wiki/articles?page_type=source"

# Pagination
curl "http://localhost:7842/wiki/articles?limit=20&offset=40"

Get a single article¶

Articles can be retrieved by ID or slug:

curl http://localhost:7842/wiki/articles/{id_or_slug}

The response includes:

Full article content (markdown)
Key claims with confidence tags
Backlinks to related articles
Source provenance (which original source produced this article)
Concept tags

Article Structure¶

Every compiled article follows a consistent structure:

---
title: "Article Title"
slug: article-slug
page_type: source
source_id: uuid-of-original-source
source_url: https://original-url.com
compiled: 2025-01-15T10:30:00
concepts: [concept-a, concept-b]
confidence: sourced
provider: anthropic
---

## Summary

Two-sentence summary of what this is and why it matters.

## Key Claims

- [[Unresolved Backlink]]

## Sources

- Original Source Title (ingested 2025-01-15)

Confidence Levels¶

Articles are assigned an overall confidence based on their key claims:

Level	Meaning	Criteria
`sourced`	Claims directly from the source	80%+ of claims are sourced
`mixed`	Mix of sourced and inferred	40-80% of claims are sourced
`inferred`	Mostly LLM inferences	Less than 40% of claims are sourced

Search¶

Full-text search across all articles:

curl "http://localhost:7842/wiki/search?q=neural+networks&limit=10"

Returns a ranked list of matching articles with title, summary, and confidence.

Recompilation¶

Articles can be recompiled to generate a fresh version (useful if you change LLM providers or want a second opinion):

curl -X POST http://localhost:7842/wiki/articles/{article_id}/recompile

Recompilation replaces the existing article in place, preserving the same slug and URL.

Wiki Health¶

The wiki health endpoint provides a summary of linter findings:

curl http://localhost:7842/wiki/health

Returns counts of total articles, contradictions, orphans, and overall status. For detailed findings, use the linter API at /lint/reports/latest.
