Read the release here that explains how this all works: https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Essay:ProleWiki_is_allowing_its_readers_to_edit_pages!
We’ll be running this as a pilot project from 1 week to a month to collect data and assess the feature, and then either keep going with it or pause and reiterate.
Feel free to ask questions
some stats after the first weekend:
10 edits approved
5 edits rejected
We log the reasons for rejections, and so far they are:
Source issues (3)
Possible wrecking attempt (1)
Trolling (1)
Duplicate edit (1)
So only 3 real edits were rejected and 2 of those improperly sourced edits were fixed by their author afterwards. 1 was rejected literally just a few minutes ago so it’s still ongoing.
Edits that were rejected and then approved once fixed count as 2 edits (1 rejected, 1 approved).
Overall not so bad for the first weekend, definitely a good amount of proposed edits, 15 in total so far.
We are also refining our stance towards anon edits with this pilot period, allowing us to understand how they can fit within our model and how we relate to them.
Aren’t you worried that this will result in a lot of troll edits?
It’s all explained in the linked release 🤐
I know you’ll moderate them first, but hopefully it isn’t going to be a lot of wasted time looking at pointless troll edits and it is actually useful content. I’d love to contribute, but I’m not knowledgeable enough.
