We are running on the same system we had in 2001. It is fucking terrible.
The staff is not the problem. There are staff with similar responsibility all throughout the world of web communities, and they have demonstrate only hints of the level of idiocy and trolling that Wikipedia staff show.
The problem is everything fundamental about the project. Working with articles as the unit of data: FUCKING STUPID. This is handled by copying and pasting content across articles that need the same information, rather than having subarticles that can be included. Having single, 'authoritative' versions of articles: COMPLETE FUCKERY. This leads to a vast majority of strife, edit warring, and trouble because NPOV articles are a completely failed concept.
Stop generally being a fascist monster creating insane policies that destroy efforts at community, and maybe your website will flourish again instead of being a case study in the wrong way to do things.
P.S. did anyone else imagine in 2001 that we would still be using a fundamentally unchanged MediaWiki software for Wikipedia? "Wiki formatting" and shit? Fuck.
