Anything AI is adding hallucinations to everything. If you can even call it that because it implies some sort of conscious or agency which LLMs definitely don't have.

Upfront: Here's the Administrators' Noticeboard discussion.
Okay, this one apparently slipped under my radar, albeit it seems like they're pretty small and only started in 2022. Here's their 2025 report.
It seems like their limited focus is on using LLMs for interwiki translation; to what extent its paid editors are capable of that, I have no idea. We maintain a list of paid editing companies here (usually undisclosed against policy).
OKA asserts:
For example, articles in topics such as Science, technology, engineering, and Finance are lacking compared to topics such as History, Geography, and Humanities.
I have no idea how they reached this conclusion or how they think they're qualified to translate anything given the random "totally not a Central European language" capitalization of words like that.
Per 404:
A job posting for a “Wikipedia Translator” from OKA offers $397 a month for working up to 40 hours per week. The job listing says translators are expected to publish “5-20 articles per week (depending on size).”
20 for any reasonable-size article could not adequately be vetted by one person in an 84-hour work week, for context, and that's $9.90/hour at 40 hours. (edit: wait, sorry, I read that as $397 per week; $397 per month would be < $2.50/hour. What the fuck.)
Overall, before reading the discussion, the people at OKA seem like disruptive morons.
Edit: Into the discussion we go:
Cmon man, the training guide instructs translators to create multiple email accounts to get around LLM usage caps… — ExtantRotations
...yes, and? — 7804j [OKA founder]
Jesus christ. 🤦
Edit 2: 7804j just cannot stop themself from transparently using an LLM to participate in the discussion.
Edit 3: "we ensure they are above the minimum wage in the countries where the editors reside" oh my fucking god
...to the surprise of no one with a brain.
