Work the curation catalogue

The curation catalogue is the case creator’s worklist. It holds the technologies, knowledge components and cases that learners have voted down, ranked by how much of that signal each one has attracted since it was last judged.

This page covers reading and filtering the queue. Acting on a row — raising a claim, or recording a judgment — is Triage indications on your case.

  • You own at least one case. Authority here is derived from ownership, not granted: the moment you own a case, in any status, the catalogue opens. See Publish a case.

There is no curator role to request, nothing to provision, and no first-user problem. If you have authored a case, you are a curator.

Sign in to the web app and go to /curation.

The curation queue, with the four type pills and the two checkboxes above a table of targets, their downvote counts and their indication state The curation queue, with the four type pills and the two checkboxes above a table of targets, their downvote counts and their indication state

A learner who has authored no case gets a refusal rather than an empty page:

Curation is the case creator’s surface: it opens once you have authored a case, and there is no separate role to request.

The refusal comes from the server, not from the browser. Arriving by typing the address gets the same answer as clicking a link would.

One row per target. The columns are:

Column What it holds
Target The thing being judged, linked to its own page. Plain text instead of a link where the row cannot address one.
Type Technology, Knowledge component or Case.
Downvotes The windowed count — see below. It is a plain numeral, with no colour and no bar.
Indication The state of the claim standing on this target, as a pill, or — where nobody has raised one.
(last column) The action this row offers: Raise or Dispose.

The ranking counts recent signal, not all signal

Section titled “The ranking counts recent signal, not all signal”

Downvotes is not the target’s lifetime total. It counts only the votes cast since the most recent judgment that is relevant to you.

That has one consequence worth holding on to: a target you settled last month comes back on its own if new downvotes arrive afterwards. The queue is about what needs attention now, not about what has ever been complained about.

A target nobody has judged yet has no window, so its count is all-time — and therefore at least 1, since a downvote is what put it in the queue.

Pill What it means
Open A creator claimed this needs work, and you have not recorded a judgment on it yet.
Resolved You judged this corrected, naming the component that answers the claim. Other creators who reference the target still decide for themselves.
Won’t fix You judged that nothing will change here. It is not final — the target returns to your queue on its own if new downvotes arrive after your judgment.

All three are read for you. The same row can show Open to one creator and Resolved to another, because a knowledge component’s judgment settles only for the creator who made it.

Each pill carries its own explanation on hover, in the same words.

Three controls sit above the table, and both checkbox defaults hide things. A short queue is often a filtered queue rather than a quiet platform.

  1. Filter by type. Four chips: All (the default), Knowledge component, Technology, Case. One at a time.

  2. Related to my cases — on by default. It narrows the queue to targets your own cases touch. Turn it off to see every target on the platform.

  3. Show analyzed — off by default. Turn it on to also see targets you have already judged, whether resolved or won’t fix.

Every filter lives in the address bar. A narrowed queue is a link you can reload, share or step back through with the browser’s Back button, and a bare /curation is always the default working view.

Three hops out from the cases you own:

  • the cases themselves
  • the knowledge components your cases reference
  • the technologies those components belong to

So a component you built a case on shows up, and so does its technology, even though you authored neither.

The toggle reveals both settled verdicts. A won’t-fix row is analyzed too, and calling the toggle resolved would name only half of what it shows.

Nothing is waiting. Targets appear here once a learner votes one down or a creator raises a claim — with these filters, none has.

Read the last clause before concluding the platform is quiet. Turning Related to my cases off is usually the next thing to try.
