Source policy
Every public answer should point back to a source.
ManualAnswers is built around manufacturer manuals and support material. Public answer pages, troubleshooting guides, error-code pages, and manual sections preserve citations so readers can check the source rather than trusting an unsourced summary.
Current dishwasher review corpus
- Dense vertical
2 dishwasher models
Dishwasher model hubs are the current benchmark vertical for proving source-backed coverage beyond a PDF archive.
- Reviewed sources
2 reviewed manuals
Reviewed manual pages expose source/download links, model context, extracted sections, and downstream answer coverage.
- Extracted evidence
2 manual sections
Section pages preserve source text by topic so answers can point to the evidence behind the summary.
- Reviewed answers
1 answer
Dishwasher answers are tied back to model hubs, source manuals, citations, and section evidence.
- Support records
0 codes · 0 guides
Error-code and troubleshooting pages are separate routed records with their own source and index status.
- Repair context
0 part references
Part references connect model pages to diagrams, filter assemblies, racks, spray arms, panels, and maintenance items.
Publishing rules
- Manuals
Reviewed before indexable
Manual records are only intended for search indexing after source review confirms the model, brand, category, source URL, and extracted text are useful.
- Answers
Generated drafts stay noindex
Candidate answers can be used for internal review, but reviewed answer status and indexable status must both be present before search indexing.
- Support pages
Citations stay visible
Error-code and troubleshooting pages should include the manual or support page citation used to build the checklist.
- Sections
Evidence before summaries
Manual sections are extracted and grouped by source manual so model pages can show the exact source trail behind a claim.
- Sitemaps
Indexable routes only
Custom sitemap shards expose reviewed manual, model, source-section, and public support routes while excluding review-only records.
- Corrections
Disputed records can be deindexed
Correction, attribution, and removal requests can move records out of search while source ownership or accuracy is reviewed.
Corrections and removals
Send corrections, attribution requests, source updates, removals, or DMCA review requests to kristian@manualanswers.com. Include the ManualAnswers URL, the original source URL, your relationship to the source, and the requested action.
Disputed or unreviewed material can be kept out of search indexes while it is reviewed.
Right to repair
Access to manuals, maintenance instructions, troubleshooting steps, and part references helps people keep products in service longer. ManualAnswers supports making repair and care information easier to find while respecting source ownership and correction requests.
Source policy FAQ
Why are some ManualAnswers records noindex?
Drafts, generated candidates, disputed records, and weak citations can stay noindex until the manual, model match, answer, and source trail are reviewed.
What makes a manual or answer indexable?
ManualAnswers expects a reviewed source, a model or category match, useful extracted text, and visible citations before public manual and answer pages are intended for search indexing.
How do I request a correction or removal?
Send the ManualAnswers URL, source URL, relationship to the source, and requested action through the correction path. Disputed material can be kept out of search while it is reviewed.
