# Git Instructions
- If a git command fails due to authentication reasons, retry the command exactly once.
# Wiki Tagging Standards
All wiki pages should use YAML frontmatter for tagging.
## Challenge Tags
All challenge pages must include the following tags:
- `challenge`: Identifies the page as a challenge.
- `challenge-NNN`: A unique sequential identifier.
- `challenge-001`: October 2025
- `challenge-002`: November 2025
- `challenge-003`: December 2025
- Increment for subsequent months.
- `archive`: (Optional) Use this tag when the challenge is no longer active.
## Visibility Tags
- `hidden`: Use this tag to prevent the page from being published to the fargo3d.com website.
# Challenge Lifecycle
Challenges follow a specific monthly cycle:
1. **Announcement**: A challenge is announced at the meetup in Month X.
2. **Execution**: Participants work on the challenge between Month X and Month X+1.
3. **Judging**: Results are brought to and judged at the meetup in Month X+1.
**Example:**
- **November Challenge**: Announced in November, Judged in December.
- **December Challenge**: Announced in December, Judged in January.
**Wiki Page Roles:**
- **Current-Challenge.md**: Displays the challenge currently in the "Execution" phase (announced last month, to be judged at the upcoming meetup).
- **Upcoming-Challenge.md**: Displays the challenge to be announced at the upcoming meetup.
# Content Synchronization
The `wiki-fargo3d` submodule contains the official documentation. Some content is mirrored in the main repository root.
- **Readme.md vs wiki-fargo3d/Home.md**: Keep announcements and general descriptions in sync.
- **challenges.md vs wiki-fargo3d/Current-Challenge.md**: `challenges.md` should reflect the active challenge found in the wiki.
- **itinerary.md vs wiki-fargo3d/Itinerary.md**: Keep meeting schedules in sync.
## Git Workflow for Wiki Updates
1. Make changes in `wiki-fargo3d/`.
2. Commit and push changes in `wiki-fargo3d`.
3. Go to root `P:\3dPrintMeetup`.
4. Commit the submodule update.
5. Push root changes.

# December 2025 Challenge: "Bring Your Test Models"
This month's challenge is all about the models we use to test, tune, and calibrate our printers. Everyone has a favorite "go-to" print—whether it's a Benchy, a calibration cube, a torture test, or something unique you've found.
**Bring your favorite test models to the meetup!**
## Challenge Details
### The Goal
Share what test models you use and why. Do you use them for:
- Calibrating dimensional accuracy?
- Testing overhangs and bridging?
- Tuning retraction settings?
- Checking first layer adhesion?
- Just for fun?
### Submission Requirements
- **Physical Model**: Bring your printed test model(s) to the January meetup.
- **Explanation**: Be prepared to share *why* this is your favorite test model and what it helps you achieve.
### Voting & Awards
- **Group Vote**: The group will vote on what they think is the **Best Test Model**.
- **Criteria**: Usefulness, uniqueness, or just plain coolness!
## Timeline
- **Challenge Announcement**: December 10, 2025 (at December meetup)
