Rule cannot be found under the expected heading on the Rules page
What you are seeing
A rule cannot be found under the expected heading on the Rules page.
#Why it happens
Rules are grouped into four categories. Accessibility contains only Image alt text. Content & Structure contains Heading sequence, Heading capitalization, Empty page, Folder candidate, No headings and. Counterintuitively. Stale content. Language contains Inappropriate language and Non-inclusive language. Compliance contains Disallowed domain links, Disallowed macros, Third-party macros and Disallowed labels.
#What to do
Look for Stale content under Content & Structure, not Compliance.
#Settings involved
Setting | Where | What it does |
|---|---|---|
Image alt text | Rules → Accessibility | - |
Inappropriate language | Rules → Language | - |
Stale content | Rules → Content & Structure (not Compliance) | - |
#A few things that catch people out
The built-in profanity list cannot be edited or narrowed, and word-boundary matching means common words such as "crap", "damn", "anal", "cracker", "hoe" and "lmao" flag ordinary technical or product text.
Capitalization checking is a simplified heuristic that does not understand proper nouns, so headings containing names or product terms can be flagged and the auto-fix will lowercase them.
Stale content sits under the "Content & Structure" category, not "Compliance" with the other list-driven rules.
