Naftiko branding survives in 8 hub files — the 2026 purge never reached api-commons #17

Description

@kinlane

Naftiko-branded framing was purged from the apis.io network on 2026-06-23NaftikoCapability artifacts stripped at load, capabilities pages deleted, the property removed from scoring, links purged from llms.txt/READMEs/apis.yml across the catalog.

That purge was scoped to api-search/*. It never reached api-commons. Eight files in the hub still carry it.

The property page

_community/naftiko-capability.md — a live building block on apicommons.org: "NaftikoCapability", tagged Naftiko, describing "the deployable unit of the Naftiko platform."

Every other entry in _common and _community describes a format or an operational fact — an OpenAPI, a changelog, a rate limit, a plan. Vendor-neutral by construction; that is the premise of a commons. NaftikoCapability describes one company's proprietary deployment unit, sitting alongside openapi and json-schema.

Five common properties cite it as a governance-rule source

File Reference
_common/lifecycle.md id: naftiko-lifecycle, source: Naftiko Sandbox (lifecycle/*.yml)
_common/rate-limits.md id: naftiko-rate-limits
_common/status-page.md id: naftiko-status-page
_common/error-codes.md id: naftiko-error-codes
_common/pricing.md naftiko-plans, plus a tool entry linking github.com/naftiko

These render publicly as governance rules, listed next to Spectral built-in — so a single vendor's sandbox reads as a peer of the linter's own rules. Either the rules exist and can be pointed at, or the citation should go.

Two blog posts

_posts/2026-05-20-the-integrations-page-as-an-api-commons-artifact.md and _posts/2026-04-21-spec-driven-integration-capability-specs-as-shared-integration-artifacts.md. These are published editorial — dated, written, part of the record. Rewriting history is worse than leaving it; they are listed for completeness, not for removal.

Recommended

  1. Delete _community/naftiko-capability.md.
  2. Drop or rename the five naftiko-* governance-rule citations. If the underlying rules are real and reachable, cite them by what they are; if not, remove them.
  3. Leave the blog posts.

What is not being said

Naftiko as a company is a normal catalog entry, scored and swept like any other provider. This is about branded framing in API Commons' own surfaces.
