Top 400 Regional Markets — Europe
Maintained by Woodfine Capital Projects Inc.. Each revision is content-addressed by its commit hash.
- docs(markets): trim ranking-disclaimer repetition to one per page, reconcile T1-T4 tier definitions to co-location-tier-system's canonical 4-tier gate model
- consolidate rerun/rebuild-date banners to one footer line per page across markets/; drop repeated inline dataset-date mentions from 20 country index short_descriptions
- fix(markets): generalise tier-gate thresholds; stop the Nordics page arguing with itself
- content(markets): link the 18 country pages from the index and both continental tables
- content(markets): rebuild both continental Top 400 tables from the confirmed 2026-08-07 dataset
- docs(markets): retire the Superseded and Retired shelf -- archive its 13 pages (26 files EN+ES) and restructure the category index around the country atlas pages. Archived: the superseded about-regional-markets framework article, the three retired country indices (France, Germany, Netherlands -- excluded from the methodology locked 2026-06-30), and the nine German/French/Dutch profiles retired 2026-08-17, each with status/archived/archived_reason/superseded_by per the industry-archival precedent. 13 redirects added, 9 pre-existing redirects retargeted off the archived slugs, and 20 now-dangling wikilinks de-linked on the still-live atlas-top-400-europe pair. Market Profiles section now routes to the nine atlas- country pages as the navigation spine instead of carrying a 66-bullet AUTO-GENERATED enumeration of every profile; live profile count corrected 66 -> 57
- docs(categories): rename 10 index_group labels + split markets Market Coverage group
- docs(projects): rename markets hub 'Screening Universe' section to 'Market Coverage' (H2/lede/short_description/index_group), retire 'screening' as house vocabulary wiki-wide -- replaced with qualification-gate language across 61 market-profile/country-page/system articles and 2 site-selection articles that doesn't imply a ranked filter-down (66 files)
- docs(projects): fix A1 gap -- consolidate tier-index pages into co-location-tier-system.md and rewrite 7 atlas-co-location-index-* pages to remove deprecated Tier 5 star scheme, T1/T2/T3 Valid/Hub/Apex labels, and fabricated Nth-Degree Cluster framework (38 files); real V3 tier system (Regional/District/Local/Fringe) is the only vocabulary now in use, per SCORING-METHODOLOGY.md
- docs(projects): Phase 1 of Regional Markets rebuild -- remove all ranking/score language and stale/wrong score values wiki-wide (132 files); no public ranking exists in the real current dataset, only the co-location cluster tier system (Regional/District/Local/Fringe) remains, per operator directive and verified against the real 2026-08-07 methodology
- docs(projects): fix 64 broken wikilinks -- trailing-backslash typos in market atlas pages, path-style syntax errors on the homepage and one glossary reference, and cross-wiki links converted to plain URLs (documentation wiki targets don't resolve as in-wiki wikilinks)
- docs(projects): rewrite all 11 category Index Topics as thematic Index Topics — fix stale industry/ post-retraction, build out thin hub pages, add index_group frontmatter wiki-wide
- fix(privacy): sync pwoodfine fork with canonical — pulls in 2026-08-03 jmwoodfine@gmail.com redaction (NEXT.md item 20) + 60 other canonical commits since fork diverged
- fix(privacy): sync jwoodfine fork with canonical — pulls in 2026-08-03 jmwoodfine@gmail.com redaction (NEXT.md item 20) + 60 other canonical commits since fork diverged
- editorial(markets): strip internal-vocabulary/path citations from retirement + pending-rebuild notices per register-corporate.yaml
- fix(markets): fix index_type->index_group rendering bug on 8 in-scope hub pages, retire Germany/France/Netherlands (deliberately excluded from current methodology, 30 files EN+ES), flag both Top-400 continental hubs pending rebuild against 2026-08-07 dataset, remove duplicate body H1 (content-contract violation)
- docs(projects wiki): fidelity sweep round 4b — markets/ national atlas pages, 6 more defective (arithmetic overstatements, a stale sub-index table, a place-name misspelling, a defunct retail chain still cited as current)
- topic(markets): Market Profile Pages hub — correct stale 39-page count to 41, add 3 missing wikilinks (Plano, Spartanburg, Chester)
- content(projects): restructure TOP400 NA/EU hubs — Country breakouts section, linkified breakdown table, retitled appendix; genericize named-firm benchmark in EU intro
- content(projects): retrofit index_type: thematic on 4 hub articles; fix bim-key-plans-index's Development-Class/Key-Plan-Group conflation (9→7, internal table contradiction); flag TOP600 methodology reconciliation pending live seed data
- fix(markets): remove EU TOP400 'Auch' duplicate (rank 285, corrupted ES country code) — 399 verified distinct markets, rank vacant pending genuine 400th entry
- content(markets): rewrite all 29 individual Regional Market profiles to Era-B (Wikipedia-sourced); supersede 2 Era-A about pages; wikilink 17 verified TOP-400 entries; fix stale links
- Fix stale pre-migration wikilinks in Top-400 EU/NA atlases + See Also parity; update stale filename example in content-contract.md
- Phase C C3a: markets atlas/framework band — 20 renames (2 about-* framework explainers, 5 atlas-* country surveys, 2 atlas-top-600-*, 2 atlas-top-400-*, 2 atlas-tier-index-*, 7 atlas-co-location-index-*); redirects.yaml +20 entries; 255 corpus-wide wikilink fixes across 118 files. Verification checkpoint passed cleanly before the larger place-profile rename batch.
