I reported the same number three times. All three were wrong.

Описание и применение

При очистке шаблонного текста на 385 страницах автор неоднократно сообщал неверные количества, используя устаревшие снимки и два разных определения "точно" и "скелет". Решением стало скрипт, который каждый раз считывает актуальные данные с диска и фиксирует определения, обеспечивая точные подсчёты.

Задача

Repeatedly quoting outdated counts of templated pages during cleanup, leading to incorrect reporting.

Результат

Accurate counts prevented further misreporting and allowed focus on high‑value tasks.

Рабочий процесс

• 1. Rewrite pages as needed.
• 2. Run a fresh scan script that reads current disk state.
• 3. Use hard‑coded EXACT and SKELETON definitions to count duplicates.
• 4. Quote the resulting numbers before proceeding.
• 5. Stop when template boilerplate is within acceptable band.

Доказательства

I counted from a snapshot I had already changed.

Источник

I used two different definitions without saying which one.

Источник

A script with the definitions hard‑coded into it, run fresh every time:

It reads from disk on every run. No cached counts, no remembering what the number was last time.
