[edit] Summary
Recognize that Wikipedia is more than an encyclopedia and fork it in a "knowledge base" and an "general encyclopedia" or a set of thematic ones.
[edit] Proposal
Wikipedia is defined as a "Free Encyclopedia", but in internet is more useful as a knowledge base.
Solution: Fork in
- A Knowledge base (drafts, and any content useful to anyone ) {a place for Inclusionists}
- A General encyclopedia (selection of useful relevant articles)
- Thematic and local Encyclopedias
[edit] Motivation
End the useless neverending debate between inclusionist and deletionist.
Inclusionist: Want to make an useful "knowledge base". Deletionist: Want to build an "encyclopedia"(selection of useful relevant articles)
[edit] Key Questions
Can this be done simply by having two views of the same database? One everything, the other only articles classified as encyclopaedic and of a certain quality.
