Content Update Policy
Worldlya reviews information according to how quickly it can change. A recent page date is not a substitute for checking the underlying facts.
Last updated: July 16, 2026
Why Update Frequency Varies
Historical background, geography, and cultural explanations may remain broadly stable, while visa rules, prices, political officeholders, school requirements, transport schedules, public fees, and safety notices can change quickly. We therefore do not apply the same review interval to every page.
Volatility Categories
| Category | Examples | Review approach |
|---|---|---|
| High-change | Entry rules, visa procedures, officeholders, minimum wages, fees, exchange rates, timetables, closures, alerts. | Checked when major changes are announced, reader reports are received, or scheduled reviews identify a need. |
| Medium-change | Education pathways, tax structures, public services, population figures, infrastructure, attraction access. | Reviewed periodically and when a new official edition or policy is published. |
| Lower-change | Physical geography, established history, language background, long-standing cultural context. | Reviewed for clarity, new scholarship, broken sources, and significant corrections. |
What Can Trigger an Update
- A new law, official announcement, dataset, report, schedule, or price.
- A reliable reader correction or broken-link report.
- A scheduled editorial review.
- A major event that changes the practical meaning of a page.
- A change in terminology, institutional structure, or source availability.
- A material accessibility or usability improvement.
Meaning of “Last Updated”
The visible update date should indicate a meaningful editorial change to the page. It should not be changed solely because a page was opened and saved, a theme or plugin was updated, formatting changed sitewide, or an automated process touched the post.
Where feasible, highly changeable information may include a more specific “data checked,” “prices checked,” or reference-period label.
What an Update Does Not Guarantee
An update does not necessarily mean every link, sentence, number, and external condition was independently rechecked on the same day. The scope of a revision depends on the reason for the update. Readers should still verify critical details with the responsible official source.
Substantial Revisions and Historical Information
When an article is substantially rewritten, the new version may replace the previous text while preserving relevant historical context. Outdated information may remain when it is clearly labeled and necessary to explain a past period, policy, or change.
Prioritization
We prioritize corrections and updates that could affect safety, legal status, travel eligibility, financial decisions, education or employment applications, and other consequential choices. Cosmetic improvements generally receive lower priority than material factual issues.
