- Github link fixed.
- Ideally Wikipedia could add just a signature in the page metadata and the extension could check it against it's public key.
- CacheP2P has one solution implemented (checksums of links contents defined in the metadata of each page), but would require Wikipedia to enable it.
Hi, thanks for replying. I think the idea of a distributedly mirrored wikipedia is great, so thanks for this project (even if some users seem to encounter high cpu load using it).
So, do I understand correctly that each page (that has been distributed through WP2P) includes the hashes for all the linked pages? But I assume these hashes are only for the content, not the metadata of the linked pages. So a malicious actor could still inject a bad page (that includes bad hashes for linked pages) if he wanted.
It is true that signed wikipedia pages would be a really neat idea, since it would enable this as well as other distributed projects to make sure they are displaying the "real" version of the site.
