There was some Wikipedia article that was subject to a really long and intense conflict over whether it should have an infobox. I don't remember the details, though.
Most of the Wikipedia dramas are fantastic, pedantic and/or ideologically driven people fighting with other pedantic and/or ideologically driven people for pages after pages until some admin just unilaterally picks one side and locks the discussion
Reminder that the multiple governments have been caught mass editing Wikipedia.
I seem to remember the "feces" Wikipedia article made it onto a list of dumbest Wikipedia controversies, because it has endless debate about the authenticity of the poop photo used and whether a different, more realistic poop should take it's place.
Now this is shitposting
