Lukewarm take: If a wiki community (or any other online community) is "professional," that makes me way less interested in spending my free time there.

I'm particularly going to critique the Gaming Wiki Network, whose
criteria for joining state

Welcoming: Wikis should have a positive, welcoming, and well-managed community. Their conduct should be respectful and professional, including on wiki social media accounts. They should be well-moderated so as to not foster a harmful environment.(Emphasis mine)

I don't think a "professional" wiki is welcoming, especially to communities who have historically been excluded from "professional" settings.

@2something i know a wiki/fourm that requires a unspecified amount of "productive" engagement to be able to download old archived software that isnt available elsewhere, that they do not own (and nor do i suspect they have the source code available to).

Like, how am i supposed to engage if i cant do anything with the device the wiki/fourm is about?
:/

having weird restrictions harms communities like these for sure
