We researched this important matter for "How Wikipedia Works". Here's a trailer in advance (GFDL). The best answer was of course on the site, if you knew where to look.

"Sofixit is enshrined in a template which can be used in answer to complaints about content or other problems-- {{sofixit}}. You need this concept to get the inwardness of a Wikipedian light bulb joke: 

Q: How many Wikipedians does it take to change a lightbulb? 

A: Zero. Just tag the light bulb as {{unscrewed}} and let someone else worry about it. 

A little sour, perhaps, but the point will ring true in other voluntary projects. More of the same is at [[User:Bibliomaniac15/How many Wikipedians does it take to screw in a lightbulb?]]. "
