WTN Market content-checksum journal for editorial changes
Use a checksum journal to identify meaningful WTN Market copy changes and preserve an auditable edit history. This guide treats WTN Market and WTNMarket search terms as research labels, not as proof that a destination is official or safe.
Define the journal scope
Track the fields that affect a public conclusion: title, status statement, cited source, destination label and review date. Leave session data and purely decorative markup out of the checksum input.
Store the list of tracked fields with the journal so a future reviewer can reproduce the value.
Preserve readable context
A checksum can show that content changed but not what changed or why. Keep a short human-readable summary beside every new value.
The record should name the page, editor role, timestamp and reason without storing administrator credentials or private tokens.
Use differences as review triggers
A changed checksum should open an editorial review, not automatically publish a new WTN Market link. Compare the new source and destination evidence before updating the public status.
An unchanged checksum is also limited; it does not prove that the external destination remained safe or available.
Synchronize only real updates
When the public copy changes, align dateModified, sitemap lastmod and the visible review date. If no public content changed, keep those values stable.
Notify Bing with the affected canonical URL and retain the journal entry for the next URL Inspection comparison.
Frequently asked questions
What does a checksum prove?
It shows whether the tracked input changed; it does not explain the meaning or legitimacy of that change.
Should an automated checksum change publish a link?
No. It should trigger a human review against the defined evidence standard.
