February 2025 focused on improving knowledge-base content governance by introducing metadata-driven visibility controls for documentation pages. Implemented a feature to control page rendering using hide: true metadata on 16-data-documentation.md within the nfdi4microbiota-knowledge-base. This enables selective visibility, reducing noise and surfacing only relevant content to users. No major bugs fixed this month. The change is tracked through a single commit and lays groundwork for scalable content governance across the repository.
