Review status

What Gale Atlas has checked, and what still needs evidence.

How Gale Atlas decides what to update next.

This board keeps maintenance public: search data guides optimization, patch-sensitive claims stay guarded, corrections remain open, and second-game expansion waits for data.

Screenshot checklist

Weekly Search Console pass

Owner input needed weekly

Use the Search Console screenshots to find pages with impressions, low CTR, or positions 8-30 before writing unrelated new pages.

Open weekly workflow

Patch-sensitive guide pass

Ongoing

Setup, multiplayer, save, route, resource, and map pages should keep exact values guarded until the current Windrose build supports them.

See latest changes

Correction and source pass

Open

Readers can report stale claims, missing source labels, or incorrect media notes through the public contact path.

Send correction

Second-game expansion pass

Data first

Future Gale Atlas games should be selected with search demand, competition quality, long-tail depth, heat, and tool fit rather than guessing.

Review candidates

Source guardrails

Do not publish exact coordinates, ports, item costs, drop rates, file paths, or commands without a checked source note.
Do not turn unverified forum comments or AI guesses into final gameplay facts.
Do not increase ad density while AdSense review and early organic trust are still settling.
Do not add affiliate recommendations before the relevant page has real search traffic and a clear disclosure path.

First-stage review checklist

What to bring when the first review reminder fires.

Gale Atlas has a first-stage review reminder set for June 10, 2026. When that reminder appears, the goal is to decide whether the site should keep improving Windrose pages, wait on AdSense, fix a review issue, or begin second-game selection.

AdSense status

Check whether the site is still in review, approved, rejected, or waiting for a fix. Keep the exact publisher ID out of screenshots unless it is already public in ads.txt.

Review ad rules

Search Console packet

Send the Last 28 days screenshots for queries, pages, CTR and position, indexing, sitemap, and manual actions or security issues if present.

Open screenshot list

Content decision

If impressions exist, optimize pages with low CTR or positions 8-30. If impressions are thin, keep strengthening crawl paths and high-value long-tail pages.

Use SEO workflow

Expansion decision

Only start a second game if Search Console or external research shows enough search demand, long-tail depth, competition gaps, and tool fit.

Check expansion rules

Decision rule

Approval means we can stay conservative and watch traffic. Rejection means fix policy, content depth, navigation, or ad comfort before resubmitting. Search Console impressions decide the next content pass.

Public review areas

Site surfaces that are stable, and the one area still on watch.

Send correction

Coverage checked

Stable

Core routes, guide pages, tools, topics, search, sitemap, RSS, robots, llms.txt, ads.txt, and trust pages are covered by smoke checks before deployment.

Media labels checked

Stable

Original Gale Atlas illustrations and public Windrose video source labels are collected on the media sources page.

AdSense basics checked

Stable

Privacy, terms, disclaimer, advertising policy, contact, ads.txt, and restrained ad placement are in place while review settles.

Gameplay data pending

Watch

Patch-sensitive values still need current-build evidence before they should be treated as final gameplay facts.

Next maintenance priorities

Recheck official Windrose sources after major store-page or patch-note changes.
Replace broad route guidance with exact current-build notes only after evidence is available.
Keep correction mail, update log entries, and source labels connected.
Use Search Console impressions to decide which guide cluster needs the next content pass.

Reader note

Practical guidance, not official documentation.

Gale Atlas is an independent fan-made guide site. Treat broad planning advice as player guidance, and treat exact values as patch-sensitive unless a guide says the claim was verified in the current build.
