WikiSheep (Ovis wikipediensis) is an animal that roams the fields of Wikipedia. Its very cuddly and gentle, but can eat articles that are prohibited.

Differences from WikiGoat

Unlike its stubborn cousin, WikiSheep can eat prohibited articles without noticing it. It can come from "being sheepish", or not knowing that it's against Wikipedias rules to eat a good article.

What to do

If you see a Wikisheep eating a good, or close-to-being good article, try to be a shepherd and redirect it to eat more

provoke it, otherwise a WikiSheep might turn into a WikiRam. If that happens, contact a butcher, which will slaughter it
