In Wikipedia
Public wikis such as Wikipedia depend on implicitly or explicitly assuming that their users are acting in good faith. The concept appears in Wikipedia's principle of "Assume good faith" (AGF), which has been a stated guideline since 2005. AGF has been described as "the first principle in the Wikipedia etiquette". According to one study of users' motives for contributing to Wikipedia, "while participants have both individualistic and collaborative motives, collaborative (altruistic) motives dominate." Users are expected to "assume good faith" when interacting with one another even when it is argued that some users deserve karma points to differentiate their contributions, which could affect the aim of clarity and utility, in pursuit of the literary glory.
