The ledger is a wiki page in your subreddit at tradepost/ledger: an index plus one page per month. Both are moderators-only and unlisted, so the index is the way in. Reach it from Mod tools → Open the ledger. It stores no content. Each line points at the Reddit comment that already records the trade.

Line format

No usernames, item names, prices, prose or titles.

Writes

A line is queued when a trade resolves and written on the half hour. A trade completing at 14:05 appears at 14:30. Each month is its own page and a finished month is never rewritten, with one exception noted below. Reddit versions every wiki revision, so edits show in the page history. A month whose writes keep failing is set aside after six consecutive attempts, so one broken month does not block the rest. Nothing is deleted; the lines are quarantined and need a hand to restore.

Rebuild trade counts

Repairs rep records from the ledger pages. Also rewrites the index and re-formats any month page still in the old layout. Use it when a trader’s count vanished, counts look wrong after an incident, the index is missing or stale, or a month page renders as one paragraph instead of a table. That last case is the only thing that rewrites a finished month. “Incomplete” is a report, not an error. The message says whether to run it again, or that Reddit’s account lookup is not answering and nothing was written, or that the window is too large to rebuild from the app. It does not reverse, decrement or remove anything, and it will not raise the number in the trader lookup above what the flair says. It reclassifies rather than adds.
Prose typed onto a ledger page does not survive a reformat. The rebuild re-emits the page from the lines it can parse.

Editing by hand

You can edit the pages; they are wikis and you are a moderator. A malformed line is skipped rather than breaking a rebuild. Every edit leaves a Reddit revision.
