The owner's answer to Q134 (X1), 2026-10-01: (b), over the recommendation. To be recorded as D262.

What was built (#998, for #990): what is in the bin stays out of the export file, so an import can never bring a binned page back as a live page players can read.

What changes: a binned wiki page travels in the export, marked as binned with the time it was binned, and an import puts it straight into the bin: GM-only, never readable or searchable by a player, until a GM restores it. The bin's 30 days carry across the move (the original binned time is kept, so the clock does not restart).

Must hold:

An imported binned page is never live at any point, including if the import fails half way.
Everything that hangs off a binned page (its sections, files, links, sheet, quest details, reveals) comes back in the state a binned page's dependants have on the source server, and nothing about it reaches a player.
An older file (schema before this change) imports as before.
An older server refuses the newer file by its schema version, as today.
The ledger in tests/export/test_export_bin.py is updated with true reasons. Other binned things (transcripts, audio, campaigns) are not part of this change.

Export schema version bump, tests, docs/ for the export format, changelog fragment.

Binning a wiki page leaves what was shown from its card still showing #996
