Note: The question of whether the wiki is a place for original research matters not just for the purpose of determining what wiki content is appropriate. It determines the role that wiki references serve. If the wiki is a reference for standard lesswrong concepts and material then I can link to it comfortably as a way to tie in to cached thoughts without wasting time. On the other hand if I anticipate it to be a bunch of original work by unknown author that hasn’t been subject to review then I must treat it as about as reliable as an external blog post by whatever kind of person happens to have edited the wiki.
Right now if anyone referred mind-killeras a way to explain what the politics-is-the-mind-killer phrase means on lesswrong I would have to downvote the comment. Because it isn’t the same concept. It is bogus’s essay on politics. It may be an adequate essay for its own purpose but saying it is a description of politics-is-the-mind-killer is just wrong.
