Welcome to the Consumer Rights Wiki!

The mission of the Consumer Rights Wiki is to document a new generation of consumer exploitation that bears no resemblance to issues of the 1950s-1990s. We focus on the issues that often go unnoticed by review sites, tech press, and traditional consumer protection publications.

Get started by writing your first article, or patching up one of the many articles in need of work! Find our official discord here.

Your #1 mission: Turn videos into wiki articles

Where to start — what we need from you

1. Go to the Video Directory.
2. Pick a video that interests you.
3. Create an article following our content guidelines.
4. Edit the Video Directory with a link to your article.

Each video in our directory contains valuable information about consumer rights violations that needs to be transformed into wiki articles.

Not ready to write? That's okay! You can still help by:

• 🔍 Reviewing videos in the directory
• ✅ Marking irrelevant videos for review
• ➕ Adding missing relevant videos to the list
