If a basic income is implemented somewhere in the world, people will have more time for themselves in mean (probably more partial-time work), so they will have more time to edit the Wikimedia projects, among other possible activities. ~S

Thanks. I don't see how this relates to Wikimedia projects, by definition it is not.

The WMF has recently clarified that they "frown upon" paid editing. Presumably offering basic wage for people to edit Wikipedia is still

The answer is "no", because the basic income is *unconditional*. This is an income, not at wage.
Definition from Wikipedia: "A basic income (also called basic income guarantee, unconditional basic income, universal basic income, universal demogrant,[1] or citizen’s income) is a proposed system[2] of social security in which citizens or residents of a country regularly receive a sum of money unconditionally, either from a government or some other institution able to ensure an equitable distribution of common wealth." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_income
