Latest revision as of 15:27, 20 June 2026

💡 In simple words: Contracts on WikiDeal are written together like a shared school project that anyone can help improve. The best version everyone agrees on becomes the one people use.

Collaborative Contract Editing

Innovation — WikiDeal R&D

Origin	🔵 Wikimedia Foundation
Status	Prototype 1 — In testing

What is it?

Collaborative Contract Editing treats contracts the way Wikipedia treats articles: they are wiki-edited, versioned, and community-validated. Any qualified community member can propose improvements to a contract, and versions that gain endorsement become the standard reference. This replaces closed, lawyer-only drafting with an open, traceable, continuously improving process.

How it works on WikiDeal

Each contract has an editable, version-tracked page so changes are visible and reversible. Proposed improvements are reviewed by the community and, once endorsed, promoted to the recommended version. The endorsement and validation workflow connects to Peer Endorsement and is documented progressively as the platform evolves.
