<br />
'''WikiHate''' (or, even more melodramatically, '''WikiViolence''') is a counterproductive [[attitude (psychology)|attitude]] and hostile [[Behavioral psychology|behavior pattern]] that takes away time from many [[Wikipedia:Wikipedians|Wikipedian]]s. Often the consequence of taking both Wikipedia and oneself too seriously, and mixing in [[hate]] and/or [[Anger management|unmanaged anger]], it most often arises when two of more editors have an escalating dispute about an article or guideline, a talk page discussion, or even one particular edit. WikiHate can express itself in [[WP:Civility|barbed disrespect toward]], [[WP:WikiBullying|bullying of]], [[WP:No personal attacks|personal attacks against]] or outright [[WP:Harassment|harassment of]] another Wikipedian, usually coupled with a fiercely [[WP:Tendentious editing|tendentious]] campaign of [[WP:Edit warring|edit warring]], a [[WP:Neutral point of view|crusade for one's own opinion]] of what everybody else should do. Its opposite is [[Wikipedia:WikiLove|WikiLove]].<br />
<br />
Resolution of WikiHate or WikiViolence issues is usually handled between the involved parties, sometimes with [[WP:Dispute resolution|mediation or other dispute resolution mechanisms]], but can result in an editor being [[WP:Blocking policy|blocked]] in extreme cases.<br />

The following links may be of assistance when dealing with and avoiding WikiHate:<br />
<br />
* [[Wikipedia:Civility]]<br />
* [[Wikipedia:Assume good faith]]<br />
* [[Wikipedia:No personal attacks]]<br />
* [[Wikipedia:Wikiquette]]<br />
* [[Wikipedia:Staying cool when the editing gets hot]]<br />
* [[Wikipedia:Dispute resolution]]<br />
* [[Wikipedia:Requests for comment]]<br />
* [[Wikipedia:It's not the End of the World]]<br />
<br />
Do not blame the victim. There is nothing an editor could do to deserve personal attacks or threats, and never a reason for another editor to use personal attacks and threats.<br />
