Start with the task
Pause the fight, name the pattern, and choose a repair step that does not reward escalation. The page list moves from a broad concern to one article with a concrete next step.
Conflict Resolution
Fight de-escalation, repair attempts, repeated arguments, stonewalling, and post-conflict reset.
Use the safety split
If a topic involves threats, control, stalking, harassment, self-harm threats, or legal pressure, start with support resources instead of trying to word the perfect conversation.
Use neighboring pages
Related links are chosen to change the reader's lens, not to loop them through generic articles. Use them when the first page reveals that the real issue is repair, a boundary, documentation, or outside support.
