Practical
Register: village, museum, warning
A village page does not speak like a museum card. A black-ice warning does not speak like a community note. Register is a writing rule, not a “nice” style.
Village voice
The place name, what you can see from the road, what is forbidden without a raised finger. No invented folklore. No “discover the magic”. If we do not know the hours, we write that we do not know.
Museum voice
Rooms, time, floor, source. Hours belong to the card, with the date we checked. We do not pad an interval so the day looks full. MINAC and Tropaeum already have visit guides; we do not rewrite them here.
Warning voice
One sentence, an imperative, a way out. “Do not climb down onto the tetrapods.” “Do not lean on the rail.” No metaphor. No “story of the ice”.
Why it matters
A Lipovan village read in brochure voice sounds like a show. Black ice read in museum voice sounds like a joke. If a page mixes the three, we flag it to the desk. We do not “pretty it up”.
