Date: 14 April 2026
Type of Fiat: Red Tape
Context: The Bright Works Project is removing content introduced by Bright into pages created by other authors. Many of the authors are no longer active on the wiki.
Description: This fiat is for the following, to be carried out by the Bright Works Team over the next few weeks:
For non-spelling and grammar edits made by Bright in other articles that have not been actioned, and are not in pages controlled by staff, the Bright Works Project team will identify pages controlled by users who have not been active on the site since April 13th, 2021 (five years prior to the current date) and are not known to be in contact with staff. For those pages, staff will remove material added by Bright.
For users who have been active since then, or whom staff are in contact with, the Bright Works Project Team will attempt to message them through Wikidot (or other means if it is known that is preferred). If they do not respond within two weeks of the message, the team will feel free to remove these changes.
In any case, authors who control these pages are free to revert the changes made as they see fit. This will be communicated to authors who are contacted, and will also be emphasized in messages posted in the discussions for affected pages.
Reasoning: Authors who have been absent for greater than five years are unlikely to be reachable. Even those who have been active more recently may not actually be watching their wikidot accounts any longer.
