Get the WikiTuber mug.a wikipedia admin on a power trip.
you can be a long time or a new editor to feel the sting of a wikiterf. the term wikiterf is a portmanteau of Wiki (short for Wikipedia) and TERF (trans-exclusionary radical feminist). This "admin" differs from the usual admin or a long-time contributor. A wikiterf has no common sense, is a semi-Karen and feels the need to override every article with the excuse that "this page needs references". Really, what they're doing is unrolling your hard work, because they believe in the bias that they are somehow better than you, because they've been on Wikipedia longer and .
Why does this differ? There are admins who will even go as far as adding references for you, help you and contribute, and generally won't act like dickheads who own the place by removing content that is actually useful. They appreciate that you're a volunteer and you're not perfect - a wikiterf will remove your content, put it into a draft and not review your submission, and will argue with you why he's right on your talk page.
Not every sentence on Wikipedia has to have a reference, but a wikiterf will find the most obscure books on most obscure topics in a bid to assert their dominance and completely ignore your voluntary input. No wonder people don't want to edit Wikipedia?

Get the Wikitard mug.The distinct form of groupthink that emerges from Wikipedia's core policies and the social dynamics of its editor community. It enforces a consensus-driven, citation-obsessed, and conflict-averse mindset where controversial truths are smoothed over, dissenting voices are overwhelmed by procedural arguments, and the "Neutral Point of View" (NPOV) morphs into a bias for the bland, established, and non-committal. Wikithinking values process over substance, reliable sourcing over first-hand expertise, and the avoidance of "edit wars" over the rigorous pursuit of accuracy, often producing articles that are meticulously referenced but intellectually sterile.
Example: The Wikipedia article on a contentious political figure undergoes intense Wikithinking. Editors relentlessly revert any strongly worded critique, even with solid sources, labeling it "POV pushing." They replace it with milquetoast phrasing like "has been criticized by some" and balance it with a trivial positive claim. The result is a text that is "neutral" in process but functionally sanitized, protecting the subject's reputation through the tyranny of procedural consensus.
