I cannot read the article, but this seems like a non-issue.
Loads of old Wikipedia pages are essentially complete. Just freeze them.
And didn't the Wikipedia foundation have years worth of funding already? And wouldn't fewer visitors imply less need for server and bandwidth?
Current events need editors, and those will have controversy. I expect primary news sources would be better for anything less than a week old.
A Wikipedia that freezes at 2024 would still be of great value.
Clearly, I am missing the problem.
Old events are not frozen. There are these things called historians and archeologists who are, to this very day believe it or not, still researching "old" events and updating the facts as they find new sources or correct old ones.
Gotta drive those donations somehow
