🔍 Master Question Bank

📇 Subject & Chapter Code Reference

Auto-generated from the Smart Question ID registry — every code is assigned automatically the first time a Subject/Chapter/GK Category is used. Nothing here is typed manually. Codes are permanent and never change, even after a rename — use Manage Taxonomy below for current names.

📊 Taxonomy Pool Health

Each of these 7 fields lives in its own mqbTaxonomy/pool_<field> document (split 2026-09-25 — the shared mqbTaxonomy/values doc hit Firestore's hard per-document index-entry limit and stopped accepting new values). Every field now has its own budget; a warning here means that specific field is approaching its own ceiling, not the whole taxonomy system.

📁 File & Source Management

Every Excel file uploaded through the Upload & Review tab is preserved here exactly as uploaded — nothing here is ever regenerated or altered. Files are grouped by Subject → Chapter so you can see status without opening each one. 🟨 Needs Attention · 🟦 Unpublished · 🟩 Published.

📚 Source Manager

A separate library of source/reference material (PDF, image, DOCX, or pasted text) used to verify questions against — completely independent from Uploaded Files (which are Excel question imports). Mapping to Subject/Chapter/etc. is optional and can be added anytime.

📜 Bare Act Provisions

File-wide once: @@ACT/@@YEAR (both English-only — never write "||" on these two lines). Structural, write only when it changes: @@PART/@@CHAPTER/@@HEADING (each English || Hindi, persists until you write it again). Per section: @@SEC N, @@TITLE, then any of @@TEXT/@@SUB/@@CLAUSE/@@SUBCLAUSE/@@ITEM/@@EXPL/@@ILLUS/@@PROV/@@EXCEPTION/@@NOTE, each followed by its own English || Hindi text line(s), then @@END. @@EXCEPTION is for an Act's own numbered "Exception 1"/"Exception 2" clauses (e.g. BSA Sec 94, and it can be given with no number too) — different from @@EXPL, which is unnumbered explanatory text. @@ITEM is a roman-numeral list sitting directly under a @@SUB/@@TEXT, not nested inside any lettered @@CLAUSE. @@NOTE is for a sub-section not yet in force. Hindi not yet confirmed? End that line with [VERIFY] — flagged below, filterable, never silently imported as final. Re-pasting the same Act + Section overwrites it in place — never creates a duplicate. Completely separate from any older Firestore Bare Act source — nothing here is read from or written to that.

Schedule-only (used inside a @@SEC block that IS a Schedule, e.g. @@SEC First Schedule): @@PART PART A || भाग क — a Schedule's own internal Part heading, unrelated to the file-wide @@PART above (that one only applies outside a @@SEC block; used again inside one, @@PART switches meaning to this). @@SUBHEAD/@@SUBHEADING (same tag, either name) — a standalone heading/instruction line, e.g. "(To be filled by the Party)". @@FIELD — a form's blank/checkbox line.

@@TABLE / @@TABLEHEADER / @@TROW / @@TABLEEND — a small table LOCAL to one section (e.g. a compoundable-offences table inside one Section). One @@TABLEHEADER line, then one @@TROW + its one data line per row, then @@TABLEEND. Columns are separated by a single |; the whole line's English and Hindi are separated by || — e.g. @@TABLEHEADER Offence | Compoundable by || अपराध | शमन कर्ता, then @@TROW followed by Causing hurt | The injured person || उपहति कारित करना | उपहत व्यक्ति.

@@ROW / @@ENDROW — a classification-table row (e.g. BNSS First Schedule's 440+ rows: Section/Offence/Punishment/Cognizable/Bailable/Court). Each row is @@FIELD Label || Hindi then its value line, repeated for every column — the FIRST field must be labelled "Section" (its value is what a question's cited Section links back to). Deliberately NEVER shown as one giant list — a question citing that Section shows only its own one-line classification strip, never the whole table. If an already-imported Section has no matching row after you import a batch of these, the import result tells you which ones.

@@FORM / @@ENDFORM — one of a Schedule's numbered forms (e.g. BNSS Second Schedule's 58 notices/warrants/summonses). @@FORM 1 || प्ररूप 1, then that form's own @@TITLE/@@TEXT/@@FIELD lines (FIELD here needs no value line — it's just a blank/signature line), then @@ENDFORM. Forms never auto-link to any question (no Section number of their own) — find one later via "🔍 Find a Form" below.

For splitting one huge Act across several paste-and-import rounds: only the FIRST chunk needs @@ACT — later chunks that start straight at @@SEC use whatever Act name you type here instead. An explicit @@ACT line in the paste always wins over this. Leave blank for a normal, self-contained paste.

What's Imported

🔍 Find a Form

Forms (e.g. Second Schedule's numbered notices/warrants/summonses) never auto-link to any question — search by number or name to jump straight to the Schedule that holds it.

⚖️ Case Law Entries

Paste one or more @@CASE ... @@END blocks. A case can link several sections at once (@@SECTION 368, 13). Re-pasting the same Citation overwrites that case in place — never creates a duplicate.

What's Imported

🔗 Old Law → New Law Section Mapping

File-wide, once at the top: @@MAPPING_TABLE/@@SOURCES_USED/@@NOTE_ON_SCOPE/@@NOTE_ON_SCHEDULE/@@PROGRESS — each one plain text, saved once per import (not repeated per mapping). Then one or more @@MAP ... @@ENDMAP blocks: @@OLD Act | Section and @@NEW Act | Section (repeatable — several @@OLD lines for a MERGED mapping, several @@NEW lines for a SPLIT one; DROPPED needs no @@NEW; NEW needs no @@OLD), @@TYPE — 6 values: EXACT/RENUMBERED/MERGED/SPLIT/DROPPED/NEW — @@OLDTITLE/@@NEWTITLE/@@CHANGED (all bilingual, English || Hindi), and @@CONFIRMED_BY (free text, inside each @@MAP — this one is NOT file-wide). Act names can be typed as a short form ("IEA") or the full name, with or without "The"/year — matched against whatever's already in the Bare Act library; anything that doesn't resolve is reported after import, never guessed.

@@DROPPED_LIST/@@NEW_IN_<ACT>_LIST — usually at the file's end: a quick summary list, no @@ENDMAP needed. The NEW side's tag name can be anything ending in "_LIST" (@@NEW_IN_BSA_LIST, @@NEW_IN_BNSS_LIST, @@NEW_IN_BNS_LIST, ...) — the Act name in the middle is never checked, it's just there for readability; @@DROPPED_LIST's own name never changes. An optional bilingual description can follow either tag on the same line (English || Hindi, saved onto the batch record). Inside one, each @@DROPPED_ITEM Act | Section or @@NEW_ITEM Act | Section line becomes its own DROPPED/NEW mapping (same effect as a full @@MAP block with just @@OLD or @@NEW given — no title/changed/confirmed-by on these, since they're a summary, not the detailed entry).

What's Imported

Import Batches

One row per @@MAPPING_TABLE import — the file-wide scope/sources/progress notes, kept separately from the individual mappings above. Deleting a batch record only removes this summary row — it never touches the mappings it produced.

🗑️ Bin — Questions

Soft-deleted Master Question Bank questions — hidden from Search Master Bank and every Test Maker pool, but fully recoverable here. Permanent deletion is only available from this tab and cannot be undone.

🗑️ Bin — Tests

Soft-deleted tests — hidden from Manage Tests and every student view, fully recoverable here.

🗑️ Bin — Folders

Soft-deleted folders (Test Maker's Manage screen) — hidden from the folder tree and every student view, fully recoverable here. Restoring never touches the tests that were inside it — they moved to "No Folder" when the folder was deleted and stay there until manually re-filed.

🗑️ Bin — Bare Act Provisions

Soft-deleted Bare Act sections — hidden from the Bare Act tab and skipped when linking a question's Act + Section to its text, fully recoverable here. Any question that already had this section's text saved onto it keeps exactly what it had — that copy was fixed at the moment it was linked, it's never a live pointer back to this collection.

🏷️ Needs Tagging

Act → Section → Enter = Save & Next — no mouse needed for the normal case. Suggested rows (🟡) come pre-filled from the Round-1 auto-tag pass; press Enter to accept, or type over them. "No Act (GK)" skips a row immediately with no other field required.

A whole paper — 100 questions — in one click: pick Subject (or Source), pick its value, fill Exam/Year/Paper, Apply. Only fills whatever fields you actually type — leaving one blank leaves that field untouched. This never marks a row "tagged" by itself (Act/Section still needs the per-row flow, or "No Act (GK)") — it only fills in the shared metadata.

⚠️ Incomplete

Fewer than 2 real options in a language, or no valid A–D answer — these are held out of every test/practice pool (questionStatus:"Incomplete") until fixed here. Fill in what's missing and Save — a row only leaves this list once it passes the same bar in both languages.

🗂️ Subject Taxonomy

The full list of LAW Acts and GK Categories in one place — see questions that fit none of them here and move them to the right place in one click. Every Fix uses the same "Move Question(s)" flow — the count is shown first, and undo is always available in "🕐 Move History" (Search tab).

⚠️ Stray Values — not in these five/32
