Editing Command verb

Sometimes such verbs are confused and may have [[subject-object problem]]s.  For instance, [[help]] usually means "help ''me the user''", while [[talk]] usually means "talk ''to someone else''".  This can make them harder to learn, as the assumed object (usually assumed [[noun phrase]] or [[pronoun]]) of the '''command phrase''' must be simply guessed or known in advance.

:Since the use of some verbs by some users actually categorizes people or their work, the worst of these confusions is that between [[trolls]] and the (many) [[IP block]]s generated to slow them down:  sometimes [[sysop power structure]] cannot actually tell the difference between the initial action ("to [[troll]]"), the [[Sysop Vandal point of view|opinion or process that leads to the sysop reaction]], the output of that action, e.g. an [[IP range block]], and the implication of what it means to edit from that IP ("to be [[trolled]]", etc.).  These are all obviously quite different things, but it makes [[power grab]]s easier to deliberately confuse them.  One could explain the confusion asa form of simple [[stupidity]].  However it could also be explained as a form of [[objectification]] or as a consequence of, say, [[Wikimedia corruption]] - these explanations would make sysops out to be more [[vile]] but less stupid.

 

More generalized verbs like [[ask]], [[fix]], [[revert]], [[drive off]] and [[patroll]] are quite possible given a more complete understanding of the [[power structure]] and '''command hierarchy''' of people obeying each other's orders, e.g. the [[priestly hierarchy]] that surrounds the [[GodKing]] preaching [[Wikimedia corruption]] and [[systemic bias]] as a [[Good Thing]], or the [[troll organizations]] that practice [[political virtues]] instead.

 

Since such '''socialized verbs''' are [[factionally defined]] and may actually dispose of [[capital asset]]s, e.g. the way that abuse of [[trolls]] wastes [[individual capital]] of those so labelled, the stakes can be quite high and would involve [[politics as usual]] or at least [[social network]] and [[instructional capital]] investigations.  Perhaps even [[financial capital]] interactions, e.g. of the [[funded troll]]s.

 

This be at least a [[computer supported cooperative work]] and [[social software]] design problem not simply a "one user one screen" [[GUI]] - it would involve much more understanding of some [[factionally defined]] terms and how [[faction]]s collaborate and/or compete to accomplish any given objective or [[wiki mission]].  It seems more must be known about [[large public wiki]]s first.
