Optional parameters:

  • Date range (date). Should have one of the comparison operators (=, >, <, >=, <=) plus a date (yyyy or yyyy-MM or yyyy-MM-dd). Comma (,) and semicolon (;) separators are used to represent AND and OR logic, respectively.

Technical details: The reliability categories are applied in the following order: blacklisted > deprecated > generally unreliable > marginally reliable > multi (varied reliability) > generally reliable. When date range rules are present, they always take precedence. Therefore, we encourage rules to be as specific as ever, and always include date ranges if they are part of the source evaluation.
