Many wiki [[editor]]s are frustrated with the [[:Category:NPOV|neutral point of view]] (NPOV) required in [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]]. To meet this, other [[wiki]]s are developing in which only specific opinions are acceptable, or even required. Wikis with strong opinions are sometimes [[:Category:Politics|political]], [[:Category:Religion|religious]], or secular; or may have other opinions such as [[:Category:Environmentalism|environmentalism]], or other [[:Category:Special interest|special interests]]. Some [[WhatIsWiki|wikis]] with strong opinions tolerate dissent. Others delete material that contrasts with their opinions, and treat edits against their opinions as [[vandal]]ism. However, they may all be subjected to '[[edit war]]ring'.

Editors will frequently be comfortable with a wiki where they agree with the prevailing sentiment. Editors who want to argue and disagree with the established opinions of a wiki risk their work being deleted, and can risk being banned.
