Topic Governance Rules | MIRENA Map Control

Topical Mapping · Operator

Keep every topic in the right home as the site grows.

MIRENA uses topic governance to control how topics are added, split, merged, approved, linked, logged, and refreshed. No topic enters the map without one primary home, one role, one parent, and one reason to exist.

Internal MIRENA method

The decision moves through six controlled stages.

The sequence keeps the source, role, evidence, ownership, risk, and next route connected.

Receive the change request

MIRENA records the topic, source, audience, business reason, and proposed asset.

Classify the request

The request receives a cluster, likely role, intent, parent, and nearby overlap set.

Run the governance review

MIRENA checks page vs section, primary home, split, merge, link, and scope rules.

Approve, revise, hold, or reject

The state explains whether the topic can enter the map and what must happen first.

Update routes and ownership

Parents, siblings, internal links, redirects, rollout order, and downstream fields are revised.

Log and monitor the change

The decision, owner, reason, affected pages, and refresh trigger remain visible.

Decision model

The governance charter protects four recurring decision groups.

A small set of hard rules prevents slow structural decline.

Decision state

Primary home

Every topic belongs to one approved page or section.

Decision state

Role and parent

Every page has one job and one stable cluster home.

Decision state

Split and merge

A split or merge must improve intent clarity, depth, and routes.

Decision state

Links and changes

Internal paths, redirects, approvals, logs, and refresh rules follow the map.

Guardrails

The method protects the map from predictable failure.

Guardrail

No unowned topics

A request without a parent and role cannot enter the queue.

Guardrail

No split from keyword size alone

A split needs distinct intent, depth, and a cleaner route.

Guardrail

No permanent legacy decision

Thin or overlapping pages can be merged when the map improves.

Guardrail

No refresh outside governance

A refresh must recheck role, parent, overlap, and links.

Connected routes

Move only into the workflow that owns the next decision.

Questions

Topic Governance Rules questions.

What are topic governance rules?

They control how topics are added, split, merged, assigned, approved, linked, logged, and refreshed.

What is the primary governance rule?

Every topic needs one primary home, one page role, one parent cluster, and one reason to exist.

When should a topic split?

When distinct intent, stable depth, a clear child route, and improved user movement justify a separate asset.

When should pages merge?

When they share one intent, compete for the same links, or a stronger parent can absorb the thinner page.

Why keep a change log?

The log preserves the reason, owner, affected pages, links, redirects, and future review trigger.
