tl;dr: The Consumer Rights Wiki is a community-edited resource cataloging consumer rights information, tools, and laws, running on MediaWiki with recent updates including article feedback buttons, temporary accounts for anonymous edits, mass rollback tools, and lockdown mode for admins. It maintains a curated directory of consumer tools spanning ad blockers, anti-scam resources, archival services, recall databases, repair guides, price trackers, and privacy/dark pattern tools. Ongoing projects include Project Laws (documenting consumer laws globally) and Project Maintain (wiki upkeep).
HN Discussion:
  • Personal anecdote discovering the wiki organically while troubleshooting a technical issue
  • ~Amused observation that many articles are hyper-specific individual grievances
  • Providing context that this is a Louis Rossmann initiative run by volunteers
  • Requesting a less spammy RSS feed focused on new articles
  • ~Supports the initiative but criticizes lack of multi-language support and need for strict policies
