I feel like part of Prolewiki's dilapidation is iirc the forum to become an admin is pretty extensive. So there's a shortage of editors on there. So pages get left unedited for months or years and source links die off.
I wanted to make some minor edit months ago and got a page telling me to write half a bachelors degree thesis worth in Marxist questions. Noped out pretty quick, since I only wanted to edit like 2 lines. It feels much more involved than Hexbears "Are you a chud on any of these 4 topics?" that it feels okay to give oneliner responses to.
I'm sorry but that is ludicrous shit, I sadly shall never be a PW editor.
I think, on top of what others have commented, they also had to defend themselves from a bunch of ACP infiltrators at one point as well. So there's also need to screen out bad faith actors who are more familiar with leftist language.
Prolewiki has had wreckers infiltrate and mess a ton of stuff up.
I do get that, but the wiki has run into a problem of having pages that haven't been updated in years. Maybe if the application was loosened up a bit and you would just need to get your edits screened before posting for awhile after you join could make it a bit more active.
It's a balance, as I understand.
I think you don't have to perfectly answer all the questions, they will take you on board as a sort of learning editor even if you don't have a perfect understanding of theory. (Source: am library editor)
Also you can edit a page without an account.
