Hundreds of prolific Wikipedia editors are threatening to go on strike

Wikipedia editors are threatening strike action after the Wikimedia Foundation laid off its Community Tech team.

The foundation said community-requested tools will now be handled by multiple teams instead of a dedicated group.

Volunteer editors reacted angrily, with some accusing the move of anti-union motives.

The dispute comes amid broader unionization efforts by staff at the Wikimedia Foundation, including Wiki Workers United.
