Case: Wikipedia dead-link tags → 6 placements
Target: citations already marked {{dead link}} in your niche.
1. Search Wikipedia for your topic + the dead-link template (found 31 tagged citations across 12 articles).
2. QA gate: confirm the original source is genuinely gone via archive check, not a temporary outage (19 truly dead).
3. For each, write a replacement page that covers the cited fact with equal or better depth.
4. Edit with a neutral, sourced tone. No promotional language, or it reverts.
5. Track survival at 7, 30, 90 days.
Result: 6 of 19 edits survived 90 days. Low volume, high trust signal.
Definition of done: 19 replacements live, edits submitted, survival logged.
Automation fits at step 1 only. Editing is fully manual — bots get reverted.
