Re:The curious case of Croatian wikipedia by jhanschoo on Sunday December 08, 2019 @11:31PM (#21740406)
There is a perpetual tension in Wikipedia between being a good, succinct overview to X subject matter versus being a repository for information that X subject matter experts would like to see. Editorial policy on WP errs toward the former, and is quite hostile to the latter, preferring that information especially useful primarily to subject-matter experts be located on dedicated subject-matter wikis hosted by other orgs.

Perhaps there is a need for a wiki-based encyclopedia that allows in-depth articles and information by experts, but WP has decided that it is not it.
