One year of the Consumer Rights Wiki
As hard as it is to believe, it's already been a year since the Consumer Rights Wiki was first launched (albeit under a different name—real OGs remember the Consumer Action Taskforce Wiki!).
One year on, we've hit 1000 content articles, and the Wiki continues to grow in both quantity and quality with every passing day.
Take our survey to make the next 1000 articles even better.
I'd like to give a huge shoutout to the Consumer Rights Wiki team - those on the Wiki, everyone who works to keep the Discord running, and our technical staff who make sure nothing explodes! Everyone's been fantastic, and the Wiki would not be even close to where it is now without everyone's hard work. Louis remarked the other day when he found that the article had already been updated even before he covered Bose open-sourcing their SoundTouch API that he was happy 'this website will be living on...even if I'm not a part of it'. Fortunately he is very much still a part of the project, but it's everyone who edits, contributes to, or uses the Wiki that make this kind of self-sustaining progress possible.
A special shoutout as well to the top contributors of the year (not named Louis Rossmann). Despite Bythmusters' remarkable assault on the top contributors leaderboard over the last month, AnotherConsumerRightsPerson takes the cake with a remarkable 2,165 changes across 1,074 pages. Mr Pollo, a fantastic mod who's been with us from the very start, is comfortably in the #2 spot.
There's still a lot of work to be done, both on the website and its content. And, as ever, we need your help to make the CRW as effective of a tool for consumer rights advocacy as we can. Take our 5-10 minute survey to tell us about your experience with the Wiki and what you would like to see it do in the future.
We'll release the results in a few weeks along with a longer and more complete 'blog post' style post about the state of the Consumer Rights Wiki, and future plans. Please take the time to fill it out regardless of how much you've used the Wiki, or even if this is your first time visiting it, as we want to hear from everyone's experiences and impressions of the Wiki!
I'll wrap this up for now - here's to many more years of building up our information base, and using it to hold companies to account!
Thanks for your contributions, and for taking the time to read this,
Keith Yardley
Manager - Consumer Rights Wiki
