'''Wiki governance''' seems to pass through a few stages in a [[large public wiki]]: | |||
1. chaos as basic [[wiki management]] problems slowly become understood | |||
2. fascism as a [[sysop power structure]] and perhaps [[GodKing]] take root | |||
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]] | |||
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. | |||
5. war breaks out on interwiki level, including [[denial of service attack]] by [[vandalbot]] on [[troll-friendly]] wikis by sysops who control the technology | |||
6. beginnings of peace talks as everyone begins to realize [[trolls]] are right; [[board]] activity, formation of formal mechanisms, e.g. [[Wikimedia]] | |||
7. rejection of these bourgeois false democracy elements by revolutionary troll factions, and continuation of the struggle to [[anarchize]] or to democratize | |||
8. abdication of [[GodKing]], major reform, eradication of [[Wikimedia corruption]], etc., i.e. troll victory. | |||
Apparently no wiki has ever emerged from these transitions, as even the most advanced [[large public wiki]]s are probably only at about stage 6 right now | |||
