York Rite (reference article)

This is Wikipedia's community edited reference article on the York Rite, covering its three constituent bodies, the Chapter, Council and Commandery, and their sequence of Masonic degrees. Its value is genuine for what a broad, continuously updated tertiary reference does well: standard, uncontroversial structural facts kept reasonably current by many editors. Its limit is exactly that community edited process: it is not a peer reviewed or professionally fact checked publication, so a claim resting on a contested or specialist point of Masonic history needs a scholarly or Masonic primary source rather than this general reference article alone.

A Wikipedia reference article on the York Rite, cited only for basic checkable structural facts about its degrees (Mark Master, Royal Arch, Select Master, Knight Templar) as publicly documented in Masonic reference works, never as independent evidence for any ritual claim made within a degree. The tier-3 use.
Notes
General reference for the York Rite's three bodies, Chapter, Council and Commandery, and their degree sequences.
