Neologism banner[edit]

This section is to discuss the neologism banner that User:PamD assigned to this article. @PamD:: I would like to expand this article much more rather than leave this notable topic with only an article on Polish Wikipedia: pt:Descentralização da Web. I copied the single English-language source (from Syracuse University) off of Polish Wikipedia. I haven't translated more of the article (yet), but there's a lot more that can be pulled from that article. -- RobLa (talk) 09:52, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@RobLa: I'm pretty skeptical of this concept (isn't the Web decentralized by definition?). But my opinion is outweighed by lot of recent discussion of "The Decentralized Web" by some respected names in web technology, including Tim Berners-Lee himself. So, no matter how much I dislike the term, I have to agree that it's not a rando neologism and that @PamD: was wrong to tag it as such. But I do think you need to give more priority to expanding the article, which has been stale for 9 months now. --Isaac Rabinovitch (talk) 20:32, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion to merge into Web3 page[edit]

This seems basically like Web3. Is there a reason why it's separated out? Ambndms (talk) 04:31, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

They deserve to be merged. Web3 is a term more actively claimed by blockchain tools and networks; the concept of the decentralized web predates that term (and the confusion between "web3" and "web 3.0"). – SJ + 19:07, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
