Prolific Wikipedia editors are threatening to go on strike

The Wikimedia Foundation disbanded its Community Tech team of five engineers and one manager on May 20th, sparking backlash from Wikipedia's volunteer community who relied on them for tool development and support. Hundreds of prolific editors are now threatening to strike, with some suspecting the layoffs were union-busting tactics, though the foundation claims the restructuring addresses workflow bottlenecks by distributing the work across multiple teams.
