The '''Wiki Maneuverability (WM) Score''' is a quantitative metric, ranging from 0 to 100, that represents the technical health, efficiency, and coherence of a wiki's structural components (i.e., its [[Templates]] and [[Lua|Modules]]).

Where the [[System Maneuverability Score]] measures the health of the hardware, the WM Score measures the health of the wiki's underlying codebase. A high score indicates a lean, well-documented, and robust system that is easy to maintain and understand for both human editors and their [[Wingman AI|Wingman AIs]].

== Purpose in the Collegium ==
The WM Score is the primary analytical tool of the '''[[Collegium (AetherOS)|Custos Structurae]]'''. It provides an objective, data-driven foundation for the Collegium's quarterly review process.

By translating complex code properties into a single, understandable metric, the score enables the '''[[Collegium (AetherOS)|Custos Animae]]''' to make informed, strategic decisions about which components to accept, refactor, or reject, thus avoiding "dependency hell" and ensuring the wiki's long-term health.

== Score Calculation ==
The score is calculated by the [[Converti (AetherOS)|scriptor_explico.py]] tool, which analyzes a given set of templates and modules. The final score begins at a baseline of 100 and is modified by a series of penalties and bonuses.

'''WM Score = 100 - Σ(Penalties) + Σ(Bonuses)'''

=== Penalty Factors ===
Penalties are applied for traits that increase complexity and reduce maneuverability:
* '''Complexity Penalty''': A penalty proportional to the '''character count''' of the wikitext. Larger, more monolithic templates are harder to debug and understand. (''Current Weight: 1 point per 1000 characters'')
* '''Dependency Penalty''': A penalty for each unique template or module the component relies on. A high number of dependencies increases the risk that a change to one component will have unintended, cascading effects on others. (''Current Weight: 2 points per dependency'')

=== Bonus Factors ===
Bonuses are awarded for traits that promote clarity and good practice:
* '''Documentation Bonus''': A significant bonus is awarded if the component properly transcludes a `{{documentation}}` template. This incentivizes the creation of a well-documented and understandable codebase for both humans and AI. (''Current Weight: +10 points'')

== Associated Tools ==
* '''[[scriptor_explico.py]]''': The tool used by the `Custos Structurae` to run the analysis and generate the score for a given set of pages.
* '''[[refactoring_assistant.py]]''': An LLM-powered tool used by the `Custos Animae` to review low-scoring components and generate suggestions for simplification or rejection.
