3. stagnation based on worship of the [[GodKing]] and [[usurper]]s who have managed to get close to the GodKing personally, and use his approval as a mask to push their own agendas - labelling everyone who asks for change a [[troll]]; [[sysop vandalism]] occurs as sysops put their own beliefs above the truth - [[echo chamber]] begins | 3. stagnation based on worship of the [[GodKing]] and [[usurper]]s who have managed to get close to the GodKing personally, and use his approval as a mask to push their own agendas - labelling everyone who asks for change a [[troll]], and abusing powers granted to deal with vandals, against trolls; [[sysop vandalism]] occurs as sysops put their own beliefs above the truth - [[echo chamber]] begins, and [[systemic bias]] is no longer avoided, but *enforced*. | ||
4. [[trolls]] realize that [[regime change]] is necessary and form [[faction]]s, e.g. [[Wikipedia Red Faction]], and start to develop appropriate rhetoric to justify [[trolling]], and target bad sysops to be [[driven off by trolls]] etc.; sysops begin to justify [[ontological distinction]] using [[operational distinction]], e.g. "that person was blocked thus they must not be saying any thing of value" - all dialogue becomes impossible, and [[echo chamber]] becomes basis of [[harassment]] | 4.

10. now that real politics and [[wiki politics]] have merged, the outputs of the wiki can now be respected as real information subject to fair [[peer review]] with no [[sysop power structure]] distorting it into propaganda | |||
Apparently no wiki has ever emerged from these transitions, as even the most advanced [[large public wiki]]s are probably only at about stage 5 or 6 right now | Apparently no wiki has ever emerged from these transitions, as even the most advanced [[large public wiki]]s are probably only at about stage 5 or 6 right now | ||
