|Title=Handling Ripple Effect - Editorial House Keeping

|Formulation Text=The encyclopedia editors should be granted official housekeeping rights to handle the ripple effects. If the additional required changes are ''implicit'' in the suggested modification, the editors should create and alter encyclopedia pages to ensure that the accepted body of scientonomic knowledge is properly documented; if it is conceivable to accept the modification ''without'' accepting the ripple effect change in question, the editors should register these changes as new suggested modifications so that the community can discuss and evaluate them in an orderly fashion.

|Description=The editors should be granted official ''housekeeping rights'' to create and modify the necessary pages of the encyclopedia to handle ripple effects. Specific handling of ripple effects should depend on whether the additional change is ''implied'' by the modification or whether it is conceivable to accept the modification without accepting the additional change. There are two possible scenarios.

<blockquote>The key rule of thumb here is this: is it conceivable to accept the modification without accepting the ripple effect change in question? If so, then this new ripple effect change should be registered as a new suggested modification and discussed. If not, then no new suggested modification is necessary; instead, the editors should modify the encyclopedia to document the ripple effect.[[CiteRef::Shaw and Barseghyan (2019)|p. 10]]</blockquote>
