In “Dynastic Tracking” replace

A Facility Head may change the wiki page referred to in this rule to a different page as part of their Ascension Address.

with

A Facility Head may change the wiki page referred to in this rule to a different page as part of their Ascension Address, provided that page did not exist at the time the Ascension Address was posted and does not begin with the word “Ruleset”

Remove the text “(Placeholder wikipage)” from the Research Facility Network wiki page

Lemon made an honest mistake of creating the Research Facility Network page prior to her AA, but now its gamestate so the “(Placeholder wikipage)” can’t be removed.

It however occurred to me that an emperor could use this for more nefarious purposes to say, the gamestate tracking page override other rules. Or they could just call their tracking page “Ruleset 200” and cause eventual problems for us down the road. Simply being “come up with a new name” feels like the best approach to ensure wiki history is properly preserved.
