I would prefer them to keep a separate version for Germany which will have additional indication that this page was censored by German government. People coming from other IP addresses should view original page. Surely Germany can't forbid people from the other countries to get some information from servers located outside of Germany.

I would prefer them to force Germany’s hand and make them build a China-style firewall.

A big black box over one of the paragraphs saying that it was censored would be effective.

Or they could block access from Germany altogether, like the Gutenberg project did after another court ruling.

While a good idea, keep in mind that the article says Wikipedia only had one day to take action.

How unnecessarily expensive would that be to maintain how many versions of facts?
