Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.
A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities
It is quite famous to most english-speaking communists (and they even have other language instances) but the MIA has been known to edit out content they don't like and not telling anyone. I talked about this in this essay: https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Essay:Design_considerations_for_our_new_library
We're trying to do better with ProleWiki's library, including adding TTS eventually. But we don't have nearly as much content as they do on our library (they've been doing this for over 20 years, and we've been doing it for 3). And sometimes we have no choice but to pick from MIA as we can't find a document somewhere else. We do include where we source our documents from as much as possible though, so readers can quickly see if they came from the MIA or elsewhere.

I know about the wiki. I've got the website bookmarked and follow it on Twitter. I never knew MIA would edit out content they don't like. It's disappointing.
I hope for the best. Thank you for letting me know comrade.
As someone who didnt know you had a library and just checked it out few suggestions if you are open to them:
Happy to write out longer use cases/feature requests if you'd like
Thanks!
(Different person) 1. I only saw it in the "Welcome to ProleWiki" the "library of texts", didn't realise the other two. Though, I should point out that in the mega menu, Library is next to "Recent changes" and "Wanted pages", that's not where I would think to find Library, the navigation feels like technical pages, not useful for non-editors. In fact, when I click on "Recruitment" I just get a permission error. A part of the menu is dedicated to recent changes. Why? Ah, didn't even realise this, even having just written both of them down, but you have recent changes twice.
I did find it eventually but only after following your direct link to it and going back to the main page after language selection, I meant put it on the landing page before language selection so https://prolewiki.org/ as opposed to https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/ProleWiki:Main_page
The non language landing page doesn't have that sidebar and I only ever hit that page and searched immediately so never saw the other one with a lot more on it
