What is wiki rot?
The gradual decay of a wiki into broken links, duplicated facts and pages nobody trusts. Once readers start double-checking the wiki against a person, the wiki has functionally stopped existing.
Why wiki rot matters
Rot is usually blamed on discipline — 'people just do not update it' — but it is structural. Copied facts and pasted URLs guarantee decay no matter how conscientious the team is, because both create work that scales with the number of copies.
How Flocci Library handles it
Reference chips survive renames instead of breaking, backlinks generate the update checklist when a fact changes, the activity stream exposes high-traffic pages nobody has touched in a quarter, and trash makes deleting a doubtful page a cheap, reversible act.
Flocci Library is a team wiki and knowledge base: spaces, nested page trees, a 16-block slash editor with tables and charts, @mention backlinks, threaded comments, AI drafting, public share links and org workspaces — one Flocci login across 30+ apps, priced in INR.
