The crying “History” button at the top right sends its regards. Yes, the World Jewish Congress has published a report that demands Wikipedia add a feature to view the history of articles, see what actions were performed by whom, and “host forums and discussions within the Wikipedia community to address concerns about neutrality and gather feedback for policy improvements”. It also wants to force all admins and above to reveal their real names.

        Yes I understand it now. Just didn’t read your comment correctly. Thank you.

        I have been curious about this since the subreddit on reddit, is The Onion the magazine from Harry Potter universe that wrote ridiculous things or is it a real magazine? I always think of someone from HP deliberately writing dumb articles (perhaps Rita Skeeter named someone?) So i’m not sure.

          The Onion is a real paper (or at least while it was in print, it’s all digital now) and has existed since the late ‘80s, well before Harry Potter came along.

          That was The Quibbler. Skeeter wrote for the normal paper. She was normal level bullshit. Quibbler was ‘frogs on the moon’ level bullshit.

          The Onion writes dumb soot on purpose to amuse people while including a disclaimer of “none of this is real”.

        It doesn’t seem like a satire site.

        Edit: Oh I see the emphasis on seems now.
