-===== Coming from Another Wiki? =====
-If you've edited on Wikipedia, Fandom, or other MediaWiki-based platforms, you'll feel at home here. Lexipedia runs on **DokuWiki**, which shares many core concepts but has a simpler syntax.
-**Key similarities:**
-  * Pages are edited with wiki markup (just like you're used to)
-  * Links use bracket notation: ''<nowiki>[[page name]]</nowiki>'' works just like MediaWiki
-  * Talk pages, revisions, and recent changes all work the same way
-  * Community-driven editing with transparent revision history
-**Key differences from MediaWiki:**
-  * DokuWiki uses plain text files instead of a database — simpler, lighter, and easier to back up
-  * Headings use ''<nowiki>====== H1 ======</nowiki>'' instead of ''<nowiki>= H1 =</nowiki>'' (more equals signs = higher level)
-  * Bold is ''<nowiki>**bold**</nowiki>'' instead of ''<nowiki>'''bold'''</nowiki>''
-  * No templates or Lua scripting — the focus here is on clean, readable content
-  * See the full [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/wiki:syntax|DokuWiki syntax guide]] for a complete reference
-If you're coming from tools like Notion, Confluence, or Google Docs, the wiki approach may be new to you — but DokuWiki is one of the simplest wikis to learn. The [[Quick Start Guide]] will have you editing in minutes.

+==== Community Governance & Dispute Resolution ====
+=== Wikipedia ===
+Wikipedia's multi-tiered dispute resolution system is a major focus for Lexipedia — it's one of the most developed examples of community governance on the internet.
+  * [[wikipedia_dispute_resolution|Wikipedia Dispute Resolution Overview]] — Full BPMN model of the escalation process from talk pages through arbitration
+  * [[wikipedia_dr_talk_page|Talk Page Discussion]] — The first step: direct editor-to-editor discussion
+  * [[wikipedia_dr_third_opinion|Third Opinion (3O)]] — Requesting an uninvolved editor's perspective
+  * [[wikipedia_dr_noticeboard|Dispute Resolution Noticeboard (DRN)]] — Structured volunteer-assisted resolution
+  * [[wikipedia_dr_mediation|Mediation]] — Mediation Committee facilitated resolution
+  * [[wikipedia_dr_arbitration|Arbitration (ArbCom)]] — Binding decisions from the Arbitration Committee
+  * [[wikipedia_dr_admin_intervention|Administrator Intervention]] — Admin actions for policy violations during disputes
+These models demonstrate how online communities can build transparent, process-driven governance — and they're a great example of how Lexipedia can document processes beyond traditional legal jurisdictions.
