"unwiki" means very different things to very different people. To me, personally, "wiki" is purely a TECHNICAL term, not a philosophy.
Wiki is a philosophy, a very radical one in which
websites are open to
contributions by complete strangers. Thus "unwiki"
is anything which tends
to make things less open (like listing articles
for deletion without
providing notice on the article itself).
That is YOUR assertion. Not everyone agrees with you. And furthermore, not everyone who shares your idea that "wiki" is a philosophy may agree with your definition of this "philosophy".
I think that wiki is a philosophy, but it is only a philosophy of complete imperminance that comes directly from the unusual development model. In a wiki, there is no standard procedure, no unnecessary "due process". If someone wants to rewrite an article, they rewrite it. If someone else doesn't like it, they change it. There is no need to discuss everything. If an anon comes along and blanks 20 pages, it is simply undone. There is no standard procedure for all of this, nor is one necessary. If we wanted to ban anon contributers so this didn't happen, we could, but we aren't. If someone uploaded pornography to wikipedia (real porn, not for educational purposes) we'd just delete it. There'd be no discussion, no boilerplate picture put there, only helpful and progressive development, which is, in this case, deletion. I think the wiki philosophy, or rather lack thereof, is that you can do whatever you want within the technical means of the wiki. LDan
