The '''[[community]] point of view''' is a [[consensual point of view]] of all those who have not been censored.  It is defined by the implicit [[systemic bias]] that is shared by all who consider themselves to be part of a "community" of editors or contributors on a [[large public wiki]].  Some view this as just [[editorial bias]] of the normal sort, as [[Disinfopedia]] seems to have.  Others view it as a symptom of an ideology called "[[virtual community]]", which seems to be a way for insiders to excuse methods to limit debate with outsiders they despise (which is necessary in a real community where physical contact is involved, but is not really an aspect of wiki communication).

Examples:
* [[Meta-Wikipedia]]
* [[Meatball Wiki]]


To date none of these wikis has put measures in place to deal with this bias other than informal methods which have proven clearly inadequate.  Starting by acknowledging that there *is* such a POV, and that it must be neutralized or limited like any other POV, is critical.  ''See also [[individual bias]].''
