Wikipedia editors are contemplating a strike in response to the recent layoffs of six members from the Wikimedia Foundation's Community Engineering team. This team was responsible for addressing editor requests related to bugs and new features. Following the layoffs, discussions among editors on internal forums have led to proposals for collective action, including changing fundraising banners to express dissent. Over 800 editors have signed a petition supporting potential strike actions, which may involve limiting edits to only severe cases or disabling certain software features to complicate editing. The Wikimedia Foundation has denied that the layoffs are connected to the formation of the union, Wiki Workers United, stating that the decision was part of a broader organizational restructuring. The foundation is actively seeking to reassign the impacted staff to other roles within the organization. Despite the majority of Wikipedia's editors being volunteers, the Wikimedia Foundation employs approximately 700 staff and contractors globally.
