This article has been mentioned by multiple media organizations:

Flora Bowen (17 October 2022). "Wikipedia adds separate page for Truss government crisis to avoid confusion with Johnson era". The Daily Telegraph. Dozens of changes had to be made to the page to keep pace with the news cycle, with users editing multiple times a day on the fastest-moving days in July to cover the wave of resignations made by ministers in that month, Owen Paterson's lobbying, the Partygate scandal, and Mr Johnson's subsequent departure.
Ellie Abraham (19 October 2022). "There are now 2 Wikipedia pages for the '2022 UK government crisis'". Indy100. Helpfully, a Wikipedia volunteer editor named P.Wilkinson made sure users avoid confusion between the two scandals by adding a note to the top of the page titled '2022 United Kingdom government crisis'.
Matt Novak (20 October 2022). "Wikipedia Tells Users to Be More Specific When Searching '2022 UK Government Crisis'". Gizmodo. Wikipedia editors have added a new landing page that asks readers to be more specific if they're searching for the "2022 United Kingdom government crisis." And it speaks to just how poorly things went for conservative Prime Minister Liz Truss, who resigned her post Thursday.
Ellie Harrison (24 October 2022). "Stephen Fry sympathises with Wikipedia editors as UK gets third prime minister in three months". The Daily Telegraph. Posting on Twitter before Sunak's triumph was announced on Monday, actor, comedian and writer Fry shared a screenshot of a Wikipedia entry titled "October 2022 United Kingdom government crisis". ...
