| |
| '''Soyjak Wiki''' is a community-driven knowledge base featuring independently fact-checked and [[Peer-reviewed study|peer-reviewed]] information about [[soyjak]]s, imageboard culture, and many other topics.
| |
| | |
| Soyjak Wiki was created by [[Soot]], creator of popular imageboard [[soyjak.party]]. It is currently owned by [[User:Angeleno|Angeleno]].
| |

| ==Online popularity and influence==
| |
| The Soyjak Wiki has been used a source on [[KnowYourMeme]] <ref> https://web.archive.org/web/20210711112747/https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/sproke (scroll to the "Spread" section for the wiki reference)</ref> and wiki articles are frequently posted on [[4chan]]. <ref> https://desuarchive.org/_/search/text/wiki.basedjak.party/ </ref> <ref> https://archive.4plebs.org/_/search/text/wiki.basedjak.party/ </ref>
| |
| | |
| The Soyjak Wiki is popular among teenagers with too much time on their hands. Often they stumble across the article on [[Soyjak|Classic Soyjak]] while searching for new [[Wojak]] memes on the internet.
| |
| | |
| ==Moderation staff==
| |
| | |
| Aside from the wiki's creator Soot, two other [[Janny|moderators]] used to work on the wiki: [[User:Syjck|Syjck]], creator of the [[SoyBooru]], and [[User:-soyboywojak-|-soyboywojak-]], a frequent wiki contributor. Soot appointed Syjck to be moderator on June 12th 2021 following [[List_of_Soyjak_Wiki_edit_wars#Colorfuljaks|an edit war]] on the [[Colorfuljaks]] article. Later that day, Soot promoted -soyboywojak- to the same rank.
| |
| | |
| A little over a week later, Soot fired both of the Wiki's moderators. Syjck reportedly asked to be demoted, while -soyboywojak- was fired due to Soot's desire to "start fresh" regarding wiki moderation. <ref> https://web.archive.org/web/https://soyjak.party/soy//res/115866.html#115879 </ref> His new hiring strategy was explained in the text bar visible near the top of every board on the 'party: <ref> https://web.archive.org/web/20210622201422/https://soyjak.party/soy/index.html </ref>
| |
| | |
| <blockquote>
| |
| I have removed Syjck and -soyboywojak- from their wiki moderator positions. I would instead like to hear from the community about who should be made a mod. Please suggest potential mods in /suggest/.
| |
| </blockquote>
| |
| | |
| Soon after dissolving the moderation team, Soot created a poll on Strawpoll.com to decide whether to reinstate -soyboywojak-. According to Soot, if the poll answered "no", he would "open a form" for potential moderators to apply. After receiving applications, he was then to open another poll with which Chuds could elect moderators from the list of applicants.
| |
| | |
| <blockquote> Please vote on [https://strawpoll.com/hu61951gc this poll.] It will help determine if -soyboywojak- is brought back as a moderator. If the results answer no, then I will open a form for those interested to apply, and I will open another poll to decide on which mod(s) to appoint.</blockquote>

| |
| | |
| It has been over a year since the -soyboywojak- reinstatement poll (which ended inconclusively due to VPNfagging) was created, and Soot has so far taken no further action.
| |
| | |
| After Angeleno acquired the wiki, users that were known not to be vandals were given the ability to quickly [[Rollback]] pages.
| |
| | |
| == Controversy ==
| |
| Soyjak Wiki's moderators were accused of silencing dissenting opinions and promoting a false narrative by some soyjak.party users. Moderator -soyboywojak- addressed these concerns in a thread on the /soy/ board of soyjak.party. <ref> https://web.archive.org/web/https://soyjak.party/soy//res/113160.html </ref>

| | |
| Often users engage in [[Vandalism|vandalism]] and [[List of Soyjak Wiki edit wars|edit wars]] when an article expresses an opinion they disagree with, sometimes encompassing one thread and sometimes engulfing the [[BBC war|entire site]]
