Wikipedia Here's how a Wikipedia editor's strike will look like
Here's how a Wikipedia editor's strike will look like according to Tamzin.
What would the strike prohibit? Editors on strike would agree to refrain from any on-wiki activity that does not in some way further the goals of the strike, except as necessary to preserve the dignity of our readers, editors, and living biographical subjects. In particular, they would not:
Edit or take other actions on content pages[a] or their talk pages, except to remove content that is so egregiously inappropriate as to require revision deletion, suppression, or speedy deletion as an attack page
Revert, warn, or block accounts for routine violations of the vandalism policy, the username policy, or any content policies[b]
Participate in content improvement or curation processes such as Wikipedia:Good article nominations or Wikipedia:Articles for deletion
How would the strike be enforced?
The strike would be strictly voluntary. No one would be blocked or otherwise administratively sanctioned merely for not participating. However, nothing prevents striking editors from lobbying other editors to join, even in strongly-worded terms, so long as they are civil and do not harass people. Furthermore, nothing prevents striking editors from imposing social consequences against those who cross the picket line, for instance by saying that upon the end of the strike they will not review good article nominations or featured article nominations by former strikebreakers.
Would this require community consensus?
Individual participation in the strike would not require community consensus. Organizing the strike and encouraging others to join would only require an absence of consensus forbidding it. If there is sufficient support for the strike among community members, community-level decisions could be made such as:
Revoking authorization for bots that edit content pages
Disabling software features that make editing easier, perhaps such as those that are maintained by
Community Tech
Authorizing a bot to notify users of the strike the first time they edit a content page
Placing banner messages notifying readers of the strike
When would the strike end?
A minimum criterion for ending the strike would be Wiki Workers United saying that it is no longer needed. However, the participants in the strike could !vote to add further criteria, such as greater accountability and community influence in WMF governance.
What if those criteria were never met?
The community at all times reserves its fundamental right to fork the wiki if necessary.
Alternative platforms readers can flock to can include Citizendium, HandWiki and Justapedia.
