 | This is an essay. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints. |
Wikipedia is first and foremost an online encyclopedic written by volunteers. Therefore, the most important contributors are content writers. En masse, they form an organism-like community. Just like a living organism, the Wikibody is frequently disturbed by people both external and internal. External agents, such as vandals and trolls, are like invasive bacteria or viruses. Internal factors, usually editors who believe they are doing what's best for Wikipedia but don't truly grok the nature of the Wikibody are like cancerous cells; they start out beneficial but become harmful.
To allow the content writers to thrive, Wikipedia has developed dispute resolution processes analogous to an immune system. Just as it sometimes takes time for a body to build up antibodies to a disease, sometimes dispute resolution takes time to mitigate disturbance to content writers.
Autoimmune disease and allergies occur when regulatory mechanisms fail and the immune cells attack healthy cells. Likewise, sometimes dispute resolution volunteers (responders) lose track of the big picture and attack content writers instead of supporting them, or react hyper-sensitively to wikiallergens and escalate, rather than deescalate, situations. At these times, Wikidryl, an antihistamine-like mindset should be applied.
