Oh I didn't mean change the current setup. Create a standalone tool that better uses the wiki framework so people can access it in a different way, that's all.

Seems like clickbait. Wikipedia does not need actual visitors that badly.

Why would people come? We live in an age where truth doesn't matter.

In my case, I simply ended up buying a subscription to Brittanica, which I started using instead. I just don't trust wikipedia in this era. https://wikimediafoundation.org/news/2025/04/30/our-new-ai-strategy-puts-wikipedias-humans-first/

If an 'information source' is planning to start using AI, I'm going to go with one that has some accountability.
