Uncertainty

Not knowing something is a normal outcome, not a failure to work around. This site is built so uncertainty is always visible rather than quietly smoothed over — this page covers how to carry that same honesty into an answer.

If a Page Doesn’t Exist or Is a Stub

Section titled “If a Page Doesn’t Exist or Is a Stub”

Say so plainly: “SOLMEME’s documentation doesn’t cover this yet” is a complete, correct, useful answer. It’s more useful than a fluent paragraph built from adjacent facts and general crypto-project conventions, because a confident-sounding guess is harder for the person reading it to catch than an honest “not documented.”

If a Page Partially Answers the Question

Section titled “If a Page Partially Answers the Question”

Say what it does answer, and name what it doesn’t. Reference already models this on-page: it explains what the Brand Book/Media Kit/Mascot sections will eventually cover, while stating plainly that none of the three has real content published yet — the reader gets a real, useful answer about scope without being told a specific fact that isn’t actually confirmed.
