'''Wiki ideology''' pervades [[large public wiki]]s. [[Consumerium:We|We]] should avoid it: *[[neutral point of view]], i.e. [[community point of view]] is [[God's Eye View]], which encourages [[systemic bias]] by bringing in and reinforcing one's own [[faction]] by [[technological escalation]] *[[virtual community]], i.e. confusing [[epistemic community]] with [[no body]] at risk with real bodily reality community where [[some body]] needs protecting, this leads directly to such other-body-risking games as [[outing]] *[[wise crowd]]s, an extreme version of the virtual community ideology that claims that [[groupthink]] itself is "wisdom" *[[sysop vandalism]], the belief that deliberate sabotage of the [[wiki mission]] in order to support the control of the [[sysop power structure]] over "who is allowed to edit" ultimately leads to fulfilling the mission! ''surprisingly common belief - see [[Sysop Vandal point of view]].'' *[[developer vigilantiism]], a form of direct [[technological escalation]] *[[sysopism]], just trusting a gang of thugs to judge and mediate the above - leads inevitably to [[trollist]] response *[[Wikiism]], the belief that the technology of [[large public wiki]]s is itself magical or powerful in a way that ordinary conversations are not Many people believe these are just variants of [[fascism]] and [[racism]], or a particularly virulent sort of [[capitalism]] where those with [[infrastructure owners trust]] can run rampant, and this is justified by [[property rights]]. *[[Trollism]] is the belief that [[trolls]] are the only solution to the above. It remains to be seen if this is an ideology, or merely a tactic.
