But it also
means that wikipedia
itself probably should turn the feature off.
(This is not a decree or anything, just one voice in the discussion.)
maybe in the 5 or so really big wikipedias, but i know for example
that en.wikibooks has a problem with one particular chinese
wikispammer, who doesnt get reverted for at least a couple of hours,
if not half a day sometimes. I presume there is probably similar probs
with some of the other smaller projects.
I think that's probably right.
It's about weighing the value of giving search engines good clues
about pages that don't suck versus the value of discouraging wikispam
when it is a problem.
