Esse é a mais recente wiki-novela envolvendo a relação entre a comunidade e
a WMF:

Por mais errada que possa ter sido a atitude por parte de um funcionário da
WMF (não vi os detalhes), é impressionante o grau de agressividade de
alguns voluntários em alguns momentos.
A WP PT já deve estar sabendo, pois fiquei sabendo via José Ribeiro num
tópico da esplanada sobre o encontro do fim do mês. Mas divulgando aqui a
quem interessar possa.

You'd been threatening to implement
super-protection for a long time. I
see you finally made good on this very bad idea. This is certainly bold,
but also incredibly reckless. Your response to being told "we don't like
your software" is to try shove it down a wiki community's throat?
I thought this was a response to someone hamfistedly editing en:wp's
JS and *actually breaking it*. When Erik reverted this change and said
"don't break the damn wiki", the response was "but we can so we should
be able to!" and an attempt to take the Foundation to en:wp
arbitration. The obvious response is to make it so that such
blithering stupidity can't be enacted again.
Super-protection was implemented in response to the German, not English,
Wikipedia. It turns out that multiple communities don't like MediaViewer.
Erik is squarely responsible for the mess being made here and deserves the
full blame and consequences. He instigated the arbitration case on the
English Wikipedia and he's now instigating a war with the German
Wikipedia.
The German Wikipedia community has looked at and evaluated MediaViewer and
has decided that it doesn't want MediaViewer enabled on its wiki. Erik has
made it his mission to force MediaViewer on the German Wikipedians (and
the Commoners), using system administrators and community advocates and
anyone else he can coerce. This is unacceptable behavior on Erik's part.
MediaViewer is an entirely supplementary feature, not some fundamental or
critical piece of infrastructure in desperate need of protection.
As this has wide-ranging implications, I have started an RFC on meta
