How Rust wipe schedules work
The force wipe is the one every server has to take. When the monthly update lands on the first Thursday, every server, official and community, resets its map, and none can skip it.
Between force wipes each server sets its own schedule: weekly, every two weeks or only monthly. A weekly server might wipe every Thursday, so the force wipe is one of its regular wipes.
Blueprints follow a separate schedule from the map. Each server decides how often to reset them, and Facepunch occasionally forces a blueprint wipe on every server. How Rust blueprint wipes work.
Can a force wipe date change?
Facepunch can move an update, but rarely does. If it announces a different date, this schedule and the calendar feed change with it. For what's in each update, see the next Rust update.
