How do I know a code update is still valid?
Use the checked date and source confidence. If no official source date exists, the update stays in a verify-only state.
Fish It! codes checklist
A practical reading guide for code claims: what can be trusted, what must be rechecked, and what should stay unknown.
Four checks before using a code
- Confirm the source level: official source date, reported source, or community status.
- Check if another source confirms the same code effect in the same window.
- Check the date of the reported activity and whether the status changed recently.
- If any item is missing, mark it as unverifiable and do not convert it into a tactic claim.
Where to go after this checklist
For live code rows and confidence states, use the codes status page. For source-level context, open source status.
How this applies to session planning
The same checklist can be reused weekly. If a code becomes unavailable, move it to historical notes instead of replacing it with inferred claims. This keeps page quality higher and avoids outdated SEO claims.
Frequently asked questions
Can one code work across events?
This page does not infer cross-event reuse. Reuse claims are only published if a source confirms them.
