Martijn Faassen<p>Years ago I was one of the primary creators of the Grok web framework. It's had a Wikipedia page for a long time and I did something I wouldn't do now - I created it.

I am ambivalent: it had a global community of users, but it was a small community and mostly online. Is that notable enough?</p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/wikipedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wikipedia</span></a></p>

Julien Brice<p>De plus en plus de gens semblent confondre les pages de discussion de Wikipédia avec des interfaces de LLM.
