'''Interwiki''' links reduce the complexity and help [[focus and filter]] wiki content so that the most qualified individuals and robust processes, which may be very different for different types of information, can be brought to bear on a "knowledge management" (or [[instructional capital]] development) problem. | '''Interwiki''' links reduce the complexity and help [[focus and filter]] wiki content so that the most qualified individuals and robust processes, which may be very different for different types of information, can be brought to bear on a "knowledge management" (or [[instructional capital]] development) problem. | ||
[[ | An [[interwiki link standard]] adopted by many cooperating consumer concern projects (like [[Consumerium itself]]) would make pages more portable between wikis. When [[multiple point of view]] becomes a competing, rival or simply mutually incomprehensible [[factional point of view]], it may be necessary for a group (typically that without [[infrastructure owners trust]] to [[fork off]] not only a namespace, but an entire wiki. Part of the deal should be that the forkers support only [[ethical trolling]] of the original wiki in exchange for fair [[redirect]]s ([[interwiki redirect]]s are good sometimes if they keep the peace) and mutual respect. | ||
