A subset of Encyclopedia Bias specific to wiki-style platforms, exacerbated by their open but anarchic structure. Bias emerges from administrator fiat, the tyranny of persistent editors with too much time, and sourcing rules that favor established publications (which have their own biases). The result is an illusion of crowd-sourced neutrality that actually codifies the prejudices and blind spots of a specific, digitally-enabled managerial class.
Example: A wiki page for a recent scientific controversy locks as "settled" the viewpoint supported by major institutional press releases. Dissenting studies from reputable but less famous journals are removed for "lack of reliable sources," enacting Wiki Bias. The open platform becomes a tool for enforcing a specific orthodoxy under the banner of procedural rigor.
