A WikiDodo (

Latin: Wikifaunus modernus cucullatus) is a critically endangered species of WikiFauna
prone to mistakes of a well-intended nature.

WikiDodos are often new to Wikipedia, and do not always know all the rules and regulations of the site. They are good-natured birds, and frequently attempt to help the site by making small edits, like

WikiGnomes
.

Despite their benevolence, they manifest a significant tactical disadvantage in dealing with experienced rivals: the hapless WikiDodos are inapt to self-defence. They may be especially vulnerable when facing an environment with little tolerance for pioneering stances in referencing

WP:Bold
, whether or not this is reflecting global or otherwise relevant perspectives neglected by WikiDodos' adversaries.

Thus, unfortunately, their naive nature can get them into trouble with

WikiZombies
, and even slaughtered.

Those that survive this stage of development will often evolve into other, more well-enhanced

WikiGnomes, WikiCyclopes and even the occasional WikiDragon
.
