Wiki Fey

Wiki Fey adalah istilah yang digunakan untuk menyebut Wiki Peri, Wiki Gnome, dan Wiki Elf secara gabungan: Pengguna-pengguna Wikipedia yang memberikan sumbangsih positif di Wikipedia.

Wiki Elf

Pintasan
 
Wiki Elf sedang bermain-main

Wiki Elf adalah para pengguna Wikipedia yang kebanyakan bekerja di belakang layar. Para Wiki Elf membuat templat-templat dan artikel-artikel baru. Mereka ini biasanya adalah makhluk-makhluk yang ramah, kecuali jika mereka diserang secara pribadi atau karena suntingan mereka. Seorang Wiki Elf menyebarkan perdamaian antara sesama pengguna, sama seperti seorang Wiki Gnome dan Wiki Peri.

Para Wiki Elf memiliki berbagai bentuk dan ukuran. Mereka sering berinteraksi dengan para Wiki Gnome dan tidak mengambil kredit untuk jerih payah mereka. Mereka tidak begitu menyukai para Wiki Peri karena mereka menganggap makhluk-makhluk tersebut terlalu menarik perhatian orang kepada mereka; namun jika diperlukan mereka dapat bekerja bersama-sama. Di Meta mereka disebut dengan Metapedian. Lihat pula Exopedian.

 
Elf Orang-orang suka hidup dengan tentram di antara para pengguna Wikipedia.


Tipe Wiki Elf:

  • Wiki Elf - Mereka tidak fokus ke satu isu atau ide.
  • Elf Pencipta - Mereka menciptakan templat-templat dan halaman-halaman baru.
  • Elf Penghapus- Mereka berpartisipasi dalam proses penghapusan templat dan artikel.
  • Elf Pengembang - Mereka mengembangkan artikel yang akan dihapus dengan memberikan informasi tambahan untuk mencegah penghapusan, karena merasa sayang.
  • Elf Orang-orang - Mereka bekerja pada proyek kemanusiaan seperti Permohonan menjadi pengurus dan Permohonan pendapat tentang nama pengguna.

Wiki Peri

Pintasan
 
Wiki Peri sedang mempercantik artikel ini.

Wiki Peri adalah para pengguna Wikipedia yang mempercantik Wikipedia dengan cara mengorganisir artikel yang berantakan, meningkatkan kualitas, atau menambahkan warna dan gambar menarik. Beberapa Wiki Peri membuat artikel baru atau mempengaruhi besar artikel yang mereka sunting; sedangkan yang lain-lain mempercantik artikel dengan cara merapikan catatan kaki atau daftar referensi, atau melakukan standardisasi format, atau menata letak gambar agar seimbang. Biasa disebut juga Guru Zen Wiki, tujuan akhir mereka adalah menciptakan harmoni baik dengan gambar maupun tulisan suatu artikel.

Para Wiki Peri pada dasarnya adalah makhluk-makhluk ramah yang cinta damai, sama seperti Wiki Elf dan Wiki Gnome.

Wiki Gnome

Wiki Gnome yang bersembunyi

Wiki Gnome adalah para pengguna Wikipedia yang menyunting dalam jumlah besar tanpa menarik perhatian. Mereka ini bekerja di belakang layar Wikipedia, membetulkan di sana-sini dan berusaha membuat segalanya berjalan dengan lebih lancar di Wikipedia. Contoh tindakan yang mereka lakukan adalah membetulkan salah ejaan, tata bahasa yang salah, membuat halaman peralihan, memperbaiki pranala rusak, menambahi nomor ISBN buku, mencari sumber di artikel-artikel dengan kutipan tidak bersumber, membuat tabel-tabel, menambahi pranala internal, menambahi kategori /pranala "Lihat pula" yang berguna, dan masih banyak lagi contohnya. Istilah ini berasal dari en:WikiWikiWeb (http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?WikiGnome).

Banyak kontributor aktif yang mempunyai kebiasaan seperti Wiki Gnome, sementara beberapa lainnya khusus membatasi diri mereka pada aktivitas-aktivitas Wiki Gnome. Para Wiki Gnome biasanya adalah makhluk-makhluk yang baik seperti Wiki Elf dan Wiki Peri. Wiki Ogre dapat dianggap sebagai teman mereka, walaupun bukan teman yang dekat. Wiki Troll adalah kebalikan dari Wiki Gnome.

Para Wiki Gnome suka bekerja di bawah bayang-bayang (melakukan suntingan-suntingan kecil di sana-sini) di berbagai sudut dan penjuru Wikipedia. Lihatlah halaman perubahan terbaru dan Anda mungkin dapat menemukan mereka sedang mengutak-atik artikel-artikel Wikipedia.

Wiki Ogre

Wiki Ogre yang sedang dorman

WikiOgre adalah para pengguna Wikipedia yang lama absen, namun dalam jangka waktu pendek menyunting dalam jumlah yang sangat besar, menulis ulang, bahkan menulis artikel-artikel baru dalam jangka waktu pendek Wikoholisme. Mereka ini hanya menyunting sedikit-sedikit jika sedang tidak berminat, namun jika jadwalnya sedang kosong atau sedang ingin menyunting pergi mencari masalah, yaitu sekali-kali waktu Wiki Ogre menjadi gelap mata, namun biasanya mereka hanya duduk diam di gua mereka dan memakan pelalu-lalang yang kebetulan melintas.

Para Wiki Ogre ini adalah teman para Wiki Gnome, namun bukan teman dekat.

Wiki Gremlin

Pintasan
 
Seorang Wiki Gremlin sedang bekerja keras!

Wiki Gremlin adalah para pengguna Wikipedia adalah makhluk mikroskopis yang menjalankan situs Wikipedia. Dengan mata abu-abu dan kulit biru muda, dan rambut mohawk bewarna jingga atau fuchsia, biasanya adalah makhluk yang baik, membuat entri-entri seperti halaman sembarang, perubahan terbaru, dan topik baru, namun beberapa di antara mereka menjadi keluar kontrol dan melakukan hal-hal yang aneh-aneh dan membuat keributan.

Mereka adalah sepupu dari para gremlin, yang terbiasa dengan habitat berbentuk silinder. Mereka makanannya adalah grafit dan mengeluarkan sisa berbentuk debut. Mereka dapat terlihat sedang memukul-mukulkan pensil di kotak pensil dan tindakan-tindakan aneh lainnya.

Wiki Sloth

 
Para Wiki Sloth sedang menikmati kerjanya

Wiki Sloth adalah para pengguna Wikipedia yang satu-satunya alasannya berkontribusi di Wikipedia adalah kesenangan pribadi (hedonistik) dan kenikmatan intelektual semata-mata. Kontribusi mereka sangat bermanfaat karena mereka kebanyakan tidak mau melibatkan diri dalam perang suntingan atau konflik semacamnya, karena sikap mereka yang cuek bebek. Wiki Sloth dapat ditemukan di mana saja, karena mereka hanya menyunting sesuai suasana hati / mood mereka. Mereka kadang-kadang dapat berbeda pendapat dengan pengguna lain jika diperlukan, namun tidak sampai saling bertukar hinaan atau menyerang secara pribadi, karena akhirnya hal tersebut tidak menarik bagi mereka.

Mereka mirip dengan Wiki Ogre, tergantung sesering apa mereka menyunting Wikipedia, namun berbeda dalam hal motivasi mereka yang condong ke hal-hal yang acak, bukan untuk mencari masalah. Wiki Sloth biasanya menghormati, namun tidak dekat dengan Wiki Gnome, karena Wiki Gnome terlalu suka bekerja. Wiki Sloth biasanya ditemukan sedang mengerjakan pekerjaan-pekerjaan Wiki Elf, Wiki Fairy, atau Wiki Gremlin, jika mereka sedang berniat.

Mereka sangat jarang menyunting seperti Wiki Naga, namun hal ini bukanlah mustahil jika mereka tertarik dengan subyek yang sedang dibicarakan. Tidak sering seorang Wiki Sloth mau mengorbankan waktu dan tenaga yang banyak untuk sebuah artikel atau sebuah suntingan bermasalah.

Hal-hal positif dan negatif tentang para Wiki Sloth:

  • Wiki Sloth kadang dapat ditemukan di halaman pembicaraan pengguna, karena mereka suka berkolaborasi dan berdiskusi dengan penyunting yang lain.
  • Suntingan awal mereka terkadang menyulut pertengkaran dari pendukung fanatik artikel tersebut, karena biasanya mereka tidak peduli dengan akibat yang ditimbulkan dan tidak mau membuang banyak waktu hanya untuk satu artikel saja.
  • Semua kelebihan yang ditemukan di cuek bebek berlaku untuk mereka, dengan kecenderungan untuk tidak terlibat dalam suatu artikel dan mengambil sudut pandang netral (NPOV)
  • Mereka terkadang mengejek kepercayaan penyunting lain bagi mereka dipandang sebagai hal yang memikat/menawan, namun jika mereka bersahabat dengan pengguna yang bersangkutan, biasanya hal tersebut tidak terjadi.
  • Sulit bagi mereka untuk mendalami suatu hal, karena mereka tidak memiliki rentang perhatian yang pendek. Namun mereka mungkin akan berkunjung kembali ke artike yang diminati secara khusus.
  • Mereka adalah makhluk yang paling "membumi", yang tampak jelas karena mereka dinamai menurut nama hewan yang eksis, bukan binatang khayalan.
  • Mereka mungkin seorang pecandu Wikipedia, namun mereka menyadari bahwa pada akhirnya hal tersebut hanyalah sebuah hobi, bukan suatu kepercayaan.

Wiki Naga

Templat:Humour

 
A typical WikiDragon, surveying the market of Ljubljana.

A WikiDragon is a user who makes substantial, meaningful, and often "bold" contributions to Wikipedia based on their vast knowledge. A WikiDragon may tend to leave trivialities such as correcting grammar, adding irrelevant internal links, and general wordshuffling to WikiElves, WikiGnomes, and the rest of the WikiFey creatures. Long-lived beings, WikiDragons also tend to fly above the fray of the short-lived kingdoms of men (wikipolitics), and put their time in making contributions.

Magical powers

WikiDragons have many magical wiki-powers not shared by other creatures such as;

  • Creating entire articles from thin air
  • Having vast stores of information on subjects unrelated to Family Guy episodes and the like.
  • Having large stores of magical treasure gained for their work (barnstars).
  • The ability to make a meaningful graphic, such as a graph or insightful visual. This power confounds other creatures.
  • Having an elusive ability called "expertise" (there is some debate as to whether this actually exists or not).

History

In the beginning, WikiDragons were quite common, turning up on every corner of Wikipedia. They were, at one stage, the dominant species on the 'pedia. However, the evolution of the WikiGnome has led to the persecution of WikiDragons. Even WikiElves, the dragons' former friend, have turned against them. It is believed that aged WikiDragons degenerate, after long spells of inactivity, into WikiOgres.

Persecution of WikiDragons

WikiDragons make bold edits that often attract attention. These edits often cause edit wars, or are tagged for deletion by another user, perhaps because that user is attempting to "clean up". This and other persecution of WikiDragons by the angry mobs leads to a reduction in WikiDragons, which some may consider to be a problem.

WikiDragons are a seriously endangered species, with only a few remaining.

How to identify WikiDragons

The list of Wikipedians who wish to advertise their status as WikiDragons is at Category:Wikipedian WikiDragons.

If you want, you can advertise your WikiDragon-like qualities on your user page by adding:

{{User wikipedia/WikiDragon}}.

If you prefer not to use userboxes you can still list your user page in the WikiDragons category by putting the following on your page:

[[Category:Wikipedian WikiDragons|{{PAGENAME}}]]

If you do not wish to unduly advertise yourself, a simple textual note of your interest in wikidragonish activities is recommended.

This page addresses a parallel concept to vandalism, that of trolling. Wikipedia:Dealing with vandalism sets up policies for vandalism: for attempts to disrupt the usability of Wikipedia for its readers. Note that some behavior listed here has been taken as disruption of Wikipedia in Arbitration Committee decisions. In the Wikipedia:Trolling poll to make this proposal policy, it received between 57% and 61% support.

Trolling refers to deliberate and intentional attempts to disrupt the usability of Wikipedia for its editors, administrators, developers, and other people who work to create content for and help run Wikipedia. Trolling is deliberate violation of the implicit rules of Internet social spaces. It necessarily involves a value judgement made by one user about the value of another's contribution. (Because of this it is considered not to be any more useful than the judgement 'I don't agree with you' by many users, who prefer to focus on behaviors instead of on presumed intent.)

Trolling is not necessarily the same as vandalism (although vandalism may be used to troll). A vandal may just enjoy defacing a webpage, insulting random users, or spreading some personal views in an inappropriate way. A troll deliberately exploits weaknesses of human nature or of an online community to upset people.

There are many types of disruptive users that are not trolls. Reversion warriors, POV warriors, cranks, impolite users, and vocal critics of Wikipedia structures and processes are not trolls.

The basic mindset of a troll is that they are far more interested in how others react to their edits than in the usual concerns of Wikipedians: accuracy, veracity, comprehensiveness, and overall quality. If a troll gets no response to their spurious edits, then they can hardly be considered a troll at all.

 
Wikipedia Founder Jimbo Wales giving a lecture on dealing with trolls.

The basic policy regarding trolling is simple: please refrain.

Definition of trolling

The idea of defining trolling is in many ways comical at best. The nature of trolls is to slip from any definition intended to constrain their actions and to find new and innovative ways to be aggravating. What follows are some comments that point generally in the direction of what a troll is and what trolls do. But it is not possible to identify everything someone might do to deliberately try to wreak havoc on Wikipedia. For this reason, no enforcement whatsoever has been set up against trolls.

Trolling is a deliberate, bad faith attempt to disrupt the editing of Wikipedia. Ignorance is not trolling. Genuine dissent is not trolling. Biased editing, even if defended aggressively, is in itself not trolling. By themselves, misguided nominations, votes, and proposed policy are not trolling. They are only trolling when they are motivated by a program of malice rather than ignorance or bias. This requires a judgment of the personal motivation for another's action. Such a judgment can never be made with anything approaching certainty. This fact should always be kept in mind when one is tempted to label someone a troll.

When you try to decide if someone is a troll, strive to assume they are not. Explain errors politely and reasonably; point them towards policies, the manual of style and relevant past discussions. Do not conclude they are a troll until they have shown complete inability or unwillingness to listen to reason or to moderate their position based upon the input of others. Even in that case, it is likely better to remain silent and let others conclude the obvious instead of calling someone a troll and creating even more mayhem. It is better to humor a troll for too long than to drive away a sincere but misguided user. Remember and apply the principles laid out at Wikipedia:Don't bite the newcomers.

Types of trolling

All of these identify behaviors that some trolls do engage in. It does not follow from this that all, most, or any given person engaged in these behaviors is a troll. It also does not follow that a person who has not engaged in these behaviors is not a troll. An important part of the definition of "trolling" is that it is always something someone else is doing.

Edit warring

The archetypal example of trolling is the deliberately inflammatory edit or post — saying something controversial specifically to cause a flame war. Inflammatory edits usually come from users who have a minority or controversial opinion and who sincerely believe that this view is inadequately represented by Wikipedia; trolls, however, will generally not seek consensus but will instead insist on a position without any regard for compromise.

Not all edit war trolls will choose subject matter that is obviously controversial. The defining characteristic of a troll in this case is not the content of the edit, but the behavior in discussing the edit, and the refusal to consider evidence and citations or to accept consensus or compromise.

People who passionately believe in what they are writing also sometimes behave in a way that may make them appear to be a troll. Many non-trolls refuse to compromise, and, at times, compromise may not even be the best solution.

Uploading inappropriate content

Some articles are created and some pictures are uploaded with the sole purpose of offending the readers or other Wikipedians. In such cases as copies from shock sites, this is more appropriately treated as vandalism. However, if an article with clearly inappropriate content is aggressively defended pretending that it is a genuinely encyclopedic article, this may qualify as trolling.

Misuse of process

Deliberate misuse of processes is a favourite troll game. Examples include continual nomination of articles for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion that are obviously encyclopedic, nomination of stubs for Wikipedia:Featured article candidates, baseless listing of users at Wikipedia:Requests for comment, nomination of users who obviously do not fulfill the minimum requirements at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship, "correction" of things that are already in conformance with the Wikipedia:Manual of style, and giving repeated vandalism warnings to innocent users. When we say that something is "obvious" or "baseless", we mean that anyone acting in good faith would agree with that characteristic. Beware that sometimes something may seem obvious to you but be quite non-obvious to others. Characterizing someone as a troll who simply disagrees with you can cause disputes which can be very damaging both to Wikipedia and to your own credibility.

Usually, even if the behavior clearly breaks policy, this is just someone unaware of policy. Look at the user's response to being pointed towards the relevant policy. If they accept the policy, or seek to change the policy at the appropriate location, they might not be a troll. If they declare the policy "wrong" (but make no effort to amend it) or simply ignore it, it's possible they are a troll. Remember that "policy" on Wikipedia is not a black and white issue. It is sometimes very difficult for a new Wikipedian to understand the complicated system of authority which Wikipedia uses, and these systems are not really detailed anywhere (or even set, to some extent). If a user challenges that an alleged policy really is a policy, perhaps it's best to utilize the help of other users. Encourage the newcomer to use the village pump, and point them to the IRC channel, where experienced users may be able to help get the newcomer acquainted with the system.

Pestering

 
Such people are best avoided, as they can become VERY offensive if confronted!

Another form of trolling can occur in the form of continual questions with obvious or easy-to-find answers. Of course, sometimes what is obvious to one person is obscure to another. If a user seems to be asking stupid questions, try to give them the resources to help themselves. You can also send them to the help desk. If they persist, politely explain that you would love to help but you are rather busy. If they continue asking the question even after you have clearly answered it, or begin complaining that you will not help them, there is a chance of them being trolls. Or they could just be lazy or confused. Of all the kinds of trolling, this is the most important kind not to get bent out of shape about. Remember: Wikipedia is a source of knowledge. Be friendly about providing knowledge to people. That said, in extreme cases, this can be a method of trolling, and it is not inappropriate to ask someone to leave you alone once you have made a reasonable attempt to answer their questions.

Misplaced criticism

Some trolls are critical of the project, its policies, its users, its administration, or its goals. Often, this criticism comes in the form of accusations of cabals, ilks, or campaigns that are typically invested in a particular POV, invested in maligning a specific user, and other similar claims. Often, racist trolls, when confronted, will accuse Wikipedia of Marxism or political correctness. Criticism of the project, made constructively, is welcome from contributors when shared in an appropriate place. It is unwelcome when cross posted to a wide variety of places (c.f. MeatBall:ForestFire), or clearly inappropriate locations, such as article pages and established policy pages. This is very similar to posting any controversial issue — if it is done to improve things and foster discussion, it can be a great benefit. If it's done with malice and in bad faith, it can be a problem. Of course, a new user who gets treated roughly can easily interpret that as Cabalism, especially if there seems to be no appropriate forum for these complaints. What criticism is 'constructive' is very much in the eye of the beholder.

Creative trolling

The nature of trolling is to be disruptive, and one of the most disruptive things that can be done is to find new ways to cause trouble that are not quite against the rules. No matter how great your definition of trolling may be, a dedicated troll will find something you have not thought of yet.

This, then, is something of a catch-all category — if a user is being continually disruptive, and no amount of politeness, consensus, mediation, or anything else is reining them in, they are trolling. When a user, in a conflict of any sort, insists on the letter of a rule while grossly violating its spirit, this is often a sign of trolling.

In these borderline cases, however, it is more important than ever to try to assume good faith, and to seek consensus not only in your opposition to whatever you think is being trolled about but on the issue of whether or not someone is a troll. A good start when you are faced with creative trolling is to come to this page and propose an amendment to the types of trolling section. If people agree that it is trolling, then you can go back to the conflict with this on your side. Failing specific additions to this page, however, the arbitration committee should be the only ones to ban users for "creative" trolling.

Dealing with trolls

Not feeding the trolls

Halaman utama: Wikipedia:Deny recognition
 
Please do not feed the trolls.

A common piece of advice regarding trolls is "Please do not feed the trolls." It is sometimes abbreviated as "DNFT" or "DFTT." While many seasoned veterans of online communities consider this advice useless, because in a community of any size, someone will react to the troll's posts, others still consider it to be the only effective method for dealing with trolls. Not fanning the fire will, at the very least, not make the situation worse. If the behavior escalates to abuse or vandalism, it is easy to deal with those things.

Dealing with edit war trolls

Of course, sometimes trolls cannot be ignored without compromising the integrity of an article—particularly in the case of edit war trolling. In these cases, err on the side of improving Wikipedia, but always remember the principle of Wikipedia:Staying cool when the editing gets hot and do not hesitate to appeal to the Wikipedia:Dispute resolution process. Remember the three revert rule. If someone is trolling an article you will get support from others in restoring the article. Eventually, the troll may give up or a consensus may form for dealing with him or her more firmly.

Dealing with inappropriate content

While in Usenet, chatrooms, and other online communities, it is probably best to ignore trolls; this does not work with content uploaded to Wikipedia. Even if you ignore it, it remains in the database and is visible from the Internet. Inappropriate articles that do not qualify as speedy deletes should be taken to AfD. However, one should keep every debate strictly factual. A heated deletion discussion, possibly fueled by inflammatory comments by the troll or his sockpuppets and allies, may increase the troll's motivation.

The value of slow reverts

At Wikipedia, one of the most effective ways of dealing with persistent misuse is through slow reverts, that is, permitting the abuse to stand for a period of time (usually a day or so), and then reverting it. The lack of any kind of immediate response denies satisfaction to the troll and leaves them with nothing to do, and the eventual revert removes the effect of their contribution. It allows time for the troublemaker's editing patterns to become clear and to come to the attention of other Wikipedians. This is a sort of 'Don't feed the trolls (too much)'.

The main problem with slow reverts is that they are difficult to perform on frequently edited articles since there may be intervening edits.

Dealing with misuse of process

Unlike trolls who vandalize articles, the majority of the damage caused by those misusing process is fairly indirect. Generally it is best to simply state your opposition and leave it at that. In many cases someone else has already gone through an explanation, and you can simply say you agree. If a nomination or listing is obviously going to fail, "piling on" explanation after explanation or personally attacking the nominator is not going to change anything; the listing or nomination will fail anyway. If the number of listings starts getting excessive (even if they are on separate pages) then you might want to use the dispute resolution process. Dispute resolution does take a while, though. If the number of nominations/listing is very high the most damage will be done if there is no emergency block put in place. In general, let the process run.

Dealing with pestering and misplaced criticism

Depending on the location and severity, this is best dealt with by ignoring it or treating it the same way as any other edit war. If it is occurring on your user talk page, ignore it, or revert slowly (once every few days). Don't feed the trolls.

Misidentified trolls

 
Sometimes trolls live under bridges. But not everyone living under a bridge is a troll.

Since the judgment that someone is a troll is a subjective one, it is always possible that someone will be misidentified as a troll due to his/her behavior. If you believe that you are being accused of trolling when you are being sincere in your editing, consider these possible solutions.

  • "Don't do that then." If people are saying you are a troll because you do X, do not do X.
  • Assume good faith. An optimistic approach will keep you out of a lot of hot water — you do not want to be first person to act in bad faith. Often, people really do have good faith intentions and wish to resolve any disputes amicably.
  • Back away. Let the issue go for a week, let tempers cool down, come back and try discussing the matter again calmly and reasonably.
  • Consider methods of dispute resolution such as Wikipedia:Requests for comment and Wikipedia:Requests for mediation.
  • Rephrase. Often one is accused of being a troll because one is phrasing one's views in a particularly hostile way. Consider: are you openly advocating trolling on your userpage? Are you cursing at people or engaging in personal attacks? Are you accusing those who oppose you of being in a cabal? If you stopped that, people would probably respond better to you.
  • Concede. Sometimes, no matter how right you are sure you are, the consensus is going to go against you. When this happens, let it go. Maybe someday someone else will come along and raise the same issue, and the discussion can begin anew, and this time turn out differently.

If, no matter how much you try to be reasonable, you are still being accused of trolling, you may be tempted to create a new user account and "start over." Please see Wikipedia:Sock puppet regarding this, and note that it is strongly discouraged. It is better to rebuild trust in your existing name, than to appear to be evading a negative reputation. You are more likely to build up a reservoir of tolerance if you act in a consistent way that people can comprehend and anticipate — and keeping the same account name is part of that.
