'''Soyjak Wiki''' is a community-driven knowledge base featuring independently fact-checked and [[Peer-reviewed study|peer-reviewed]] information about [[soyjak]]s, imageboard culture, and many other topics.

Soyjak Wiki was created by [[Soot]], creator of popular imageboard [[soyjak.party]], on March 29, 2021. It is currently (de-facto) owned by [[Froot]] and operated by [[User:Angeleno|Angeleno]].

==Online popularity and influence==
The Soyjak Wiki has been used a source on [[KnowYourMeme]] <ref> https://web.archive.org/web/20210711112747/https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/sproke (scroll to the "Spread" section for the wiki reference)</ref> and wiki articles are frequently posted on [[4chan]]. <ref> https://desuarchive.org/_/search/text/wiki.basedjak.party/ </ref> <ref> https://archive.4plebs.org/_/search/text/wiki.basedjak.party/ </ref>

The Soyjak Wiki is popular among teenagers with too much time on their hands. Often they stumble across the article on [[Soyjak|Classic Soyjak]] while searching for new [[Wojak]] memes on the internet.

==Moderation staff==

Aside from the wiki's creator Soot, two other [[Janny|moderators]] used to work on the wiki: [[User:Syjck|Syjck]], creator of the [[SoyBooru (original)|SoyBooru]], and [[User:-soyboywojak-|-soyboywojak-]], a frequent wiki contributor. Soot appointed Syjck to be moderator on June 12th 2021 following [[List_of_Soyjak_Wiki_edit_wars#Colorfuljaks|an edit war]] on the [[Colorfuljaks]] article. Later that day, Soot promoted -soyboywojak- to the same rank.

A little over a week later, Soot fired both of the Wiki's moderators. Syjck reportedly asked to be demoted, while -soyboywojak- was fired due to Soot's desire to "start fresh" regarding wiki moderation. <ref> https://web.archive.org/web/https://soyjak.party/soy//res/115866.html#115879 </ref> His new hiring strategy was explained in the text bar visible near the top of every board on the 'party: <ref> https://web.archive.org/web/20210622201422/https://soyjak.party/soy/index.html </ref>

<blockquote>
I have removed Syjck and -soyboywojak- from their wiki moderator positions. I would instead like to hear from the community about who should be made a mod. Please suggest potential mods in /suggest/.
</blockquote>

Soon after dissolving the moderation team, Soot created a poll on Strawpoll.com to decide whether to reinstate -soyboywojak-. According to Soot, if the poll answered "no", he would "open a form" for potential moderators to apply. After receiving applications, he was then to open another poll with which Chuds could elect moderators from the list of applicants.

<blockquote> Please vote on [https://strawpoll.com/hu61951gc this poll.] It will help determine if -soyboywojak- is brought back as a moderator. If the results answer no, then I will open a form for those interested to apply, and I will open another poll to decide on which mod(s) to appoint.</blockquote>

It has been over a year since the -soyboywojak- reinstatement poll (which ended inconclusively due to VPNfagging) was created, and Soot has so far taken no further action.

After Angeleno acquired the wiki, users that were known not to be vandals were given the ability to quickly [[Rollback]] pages.

== Controversy ==
Soyjak Wiki's moderators were accused of silencing dissenting opinions and promoting a false narrative by some soyjak.party users. Moderator -soyboywojak- addressed these concerns in a thread on the /soy/ board of soyjak.party. <ref> https://web.archive.org/web/https://soyjak.party/soy//res/113160.html </ref>

Often users engage in [[Vandalism|vandalism]] and [[List of Soyjak Wiki edit wars|edit wars]] when an article expresses an opinion they disagree with, sometimes encompassing one thread and sometimes engulfing the [[BBC war|entire site]]
