OptOut

To OptOut is to decide not to participate.

There are many efforts to connect wikis, the TourBus, WikiNodes, WikiIndex, etc. We can choose to respect the wishes of wiki communities.

At WikiIndex, the way we do that is with our OptOut guideline.

On an individual level, a respectful community allows an editor to OptOut of the RealNames guideline, for example.

Idea discussed at RecentChangesCamp with KennethTyler: WikiNodes:OptOut

Also a conversation between RaymondKing, MarkDilley and WardCunningham about this happended at RecentChangesCamp and we all felt comfortable that the wiki community would figure out how to deal with the next challenge that was going to come up, even if it was more wiki spam. MarkDilley | talk
