Actually, that second sentence of yours seems pretty confusing to me.  It
looks like you've used a double negative, which gives the opposite meaning
than the one you intended.  I just hope you're never tasked with
contributing to any of the Arch Wiki articles.

I'm starting to wonder whether you might have Asperger syndrome.  Just
because the dictionary says something doesn't mean it fits all contexts.
The word "file" has a double meaning with respect to the AUR, while "lodge"
does not.  This is because the AUR's central topic is "files", but it has
nothing to do with "lodges".

My view is that leaving the AUR in a confusing state and forcing Archers to
go to the Wiki for answers is a pretty stupid idea.  Several people have
already said that they were nearly tricked by "File Request".  How many
more will need to speak up before you'll finally admit that it's necessary
to make a change?
