Developers · AnalysisWikipedia AI-generated content: how editors find it, delete it and now ban it, and what the numbers showWikipedia's fight with AI-generated content has three layers: a volunteer WikiProject started in 2023, a speedy-deletion rule for unreviewed AI articles added in August 2025, and a March 2026 English Wikipedia guideline banning LLM-written article text. How each works, the signs editors look for, and what the Wikimedia Foundation says.Oct 29·8 min read
