WikiParty

(English) This is an essay. It expresses the opinions and ideas of some Wikimedians but may not have wide support. This is not policy on Meta, but it may be a policy or guideline on other Wikimedia projects. Feel free to update this page as needed, or use the discussion page to propose major changes.

A WikiParty, apparently, is a faction that declares itself as having a certain common position on the Wikipedia power structure. Some deplore these as evidence of factionalism. Others consider them very necessary to achieve regime change in a peaceful way. There is no clear consensus yet.

What is clear is that no community above a certain size has been governed without either a religious hierarchy or such "political" structures.^{[citation needed]}

Another type of Wiki party is a political party based on wiki. Some more ideas about this: The Wiki Party, by Guaka.
