Annual support & monitoring
Published pages need stewardship — not a one-time launch.
Every page-creation project includes 90 days of post-publication monitoring at no extra cost. After that, the page transfers to your responsibility unless you're on an annual plan. Without ongoing support we no longer defend, monitor, or restore the page.
Why support exists
Publication is not the end — it is the start of the page's public life
A page that goes live — through our page-creation service or any other route — is a living document. Competitors, activists, drive-by editors, bots and complete strangers can change it at any moment, and Wikipedia notifies no one when they do. Pages nobody watches drift toward inaccuracy, collect warning tags, and occasionally end up renominated for deletion.
Adversarial
Hostile edits
Competitors, activists, disgruntled former insiders, drive-by vandals. Negative framing gets inserted, achievements get trimmed, a poorly sourced controversy section appears. The loudest category — and the fastest to fix when someone is actually watching.
Accidental
Well-meaning but wrong edits
The most common category by far. A passing editor corrects a date that was right, rewrites a sentence away from what the source says, or merges sections and loses context. No malice, no notification — just slow divergence from the facts.
Structural
Source rot & link death
References go offline as sites restructure and publications shut down. A claim that loses its source attracts a citation-needed tag, then removal — and thinly sourced pages are the first targets in deletion debates.
Existential
Notability re-challenges
Surviving review once is not a permanent verdict. Accumulated maintenance tags, dead sources and unanswered talk-page questions can trigger a fresh deletion nomination years after publication.
For balance: most pages do not face an emergency in any given year. What they face is unattended change — small, cumulative, and invisible until someone looks. We documented the mechanics in why Wikipedia pages get deleted and who actually edits your page.
The first 90 days
The first 90 days after publication — where the risk actually sits
A new page's risk profile is not flat. Scrutiny is front-loaded, drift is back-loaded — the pattern we see consistently across the pages we publish and monitor.
Community attention on a new page
day 0 → day 90+
Days 1–14
New-page patrol scrutiny peaks
Every new article passes through New Page Patrol and recent-changes review. Notability and sourcing are tested hardest right here — most of the deletion nominations we defend arrive in this window.
Deletion attempts cluster here
Weeks 2–6
Integrations and first organic edits
The page gets wired into categories, lists and related articles, and the first uninvolved editors arrive. Mostly formatting and categorization — occasionally factual changes worth checking the same week.
First third-party edits
Weeks 6–12
Watchlist attention fades
Reviewers move on and fewer experienced editors keep the page on a watchlist. Small unsourced changes start to stick because nobody reverts them. This is where drift begins.
Drift risk begins
After day 90
The long tail
The 90 days of monitoring included with every page-creation project end here. Edits keep arriving — slower, but with almost no one watching. This is where inaccuracies sit unnoticed the longest.
Drift accumulates here
A qualitative pattern from our own publication and monitoring work — not a statistical chart. The two ends matter most: deletion attempts cluster in the first weeks, while drift accumulates quietly after attention fades. That is why the first 90 days are included with every creation project, and why annual plans exist for day 91 onward.

Which one do you need?
Annual support vs WikiMonitoring SaaS — which one?
Two products cover the same blind spot in different ways. WikiMonitoring is software: it tells you that something changed, within minutes, and leaves the action to you. Annual support is a managed service: our editors do the watching and the fixing. Many clients run both.
| Decision point | Annual support — managed | WikiMonitoring — SaaS | Both together |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it is | A managed service — our editors maintain, update and defend the page | A monitoring tool — real-time edit alerts by email and Telegram | Alerts plus contracted human response under one plan |
| Who acts when a bad edit lands | We do — editorial response is part of every tier | You do — we notify within minutes; the action is yours | We do, triggered by the same alerts |
| Monitoring cadence | By tier: periodic checks (Annual) up to near real-time (Premium, Enterprise) | Real time on every plan, any language edition | Real time, with SLA-defined response on Enterprise |
| Content updates & new sections | Included — 4 to 8+ editorial updates per year by tier | Not included | Included |
| Deletion defence & dispute handling | Included | Not included — alerts only | Included, with priority handling |
| Best fit | No in-house Wikipedia capability — you want outcomes, not notifications | Comms teams and agencies that can act on alerts themselves | High-exposure pages where minutes matter and response must be contractual |
| Starting price | from €420 / year | from €79 / year | Premium, €1,200 / year — WikiMonitoring toolset included |
