"WikiLaw": a lawsuit waiting to happen

I stumbled onto this and thought it was pretty funny. What happens when someone vandalizes it and that results in someone getting bad legal advice?

There's already a demo if you want to vandalize it: https://law.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page

In case that wasn't enough lawsuits waiting to happen, here's another fun idea: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiHealth

Just another failed project--from 2010 in this case. Check the talkpage. Heilman showed up in 2012 and dissed it. Not that he has much else to offer--his "Wiki Project Med", also started in 2012, looks rather sad. There's more activity on Wikinews. And that's really not a good thing for a volunteer-run project.

The suckers they need are not hanging around and being used up, as they were ten years ago.
