:::It's also gotten harder to document what goes on at Wikipedia, because so much happens in secret now. When people get ArbCom- or globally banned, there's often no public case opened. They just have a discussion via their listserv or whatever other venue they use, and announce the decision. We're not even told which individuals favored or opposed the decision. The processes aren't as transparent as they used to be, which makes it harder to document wikipolitics. | :::It's also gotten harder to document what goes on at Wikipedia, because so much happens in secret now.

:::It just seems like a dark time for the wikisphere. Wikipedia, which serves as its hub, is getting more closed-off, with stuff like the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Autoconfirmed_article_creation_trial ACTRIAL] to get in the way of newbies' putting their ideas into effect immediately. There seems to be a growing sense among Wikipedians that their job is mostly finished, and that now mostly they just need to defend what they've already created. When people want to cover a news event, for instance, people say, "Wait ten years and then create this article when it's clear that the topic has enduring interest."
