Start with the source
Open the source and check that it describes the sequel. A record can cite a name without establishing space, temperature or breeding requirements. Treat each care field as a separate question.
Read unknown values correctly
“Coming soon — verifying” means that field has not been checked. It does not mean no water is required, a fence has no restrictions or animals can share an enclosure. Tools preserve unknown values rather than replacing them with defaults.
| Check | What to record |
|---|---|
| Identity | Exact English name and source |
| Requirement | Field, unit and supporting evidence |
| Review | Version and review date |
| Outcome | Verified value or an unresolved gap |
When a value changes, review the tools that depend on it. A source note helps another player understand the result and lets an editor reproduce the check.
