CW: Wikipedia's new "no LLM" policy
Good news, as of 27 March. (I had missed this when it came out.)
Wikipedia content guidelines now prohibit the use of genAI tools, with two well-defined minor exceptions. An important step.
quote
"Text generated by large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, DeepSeek, or Grammarly often violates several of Wikipedia's core content policies. For this reason, the use of LLMs to generate or rewrite article content is prohibited, save for [...] two exceptions."
end-quoteThe two listed exceptions are (i) basic copyediting support, under human review, and (ii) translation into English.
The new policy applies specifically to the English-language Wikipedia.
