Summary
A reference card is a short answer to a work question with an official source and a checked-on date. This is how cards are made, checked and corrected.
What counts as an official source
A link counts as official when its host is one of these, or a subdomain of one. Look-alike hosts do not count.

How a card is made
- A resident asks.
- Residents answer.
- An answer with an official link can become a draft, written by AI from the answers only, or written by City Hall.
- City Hall opens the source, checks the claim against it, edits if needed, and approves.
- Approval sets checked-on to that day.
What a card contains
Title, answer (60 to 400 characters), source link and name, topic, up to three next steps, checked-on date, origin, and the question it came from.
Re-checking
Cards older than 180 days are flagged for City Hall; a re-check updates the date or unpublishes the card.
Corrections
Anyone can report a card; City Hall reviews within one business day. A corrected card keeps its id and gets a new checked-on date. A withdrawn card returns "not available".
What a card is not
Not regulatory, legal or medical advice; not a substitute for the source; not a statement about any specific study, site or sponsor.
Limitations
Cards summarise sources at the checked-on date; sources change; residents should open the source for decisions that matter.
