> Backup however many copies you can. When the Foundation collapses in on itself, it'll be because the parasites have drained it of all of its resources, and they'll scurry off to their next host to begin the cycle anew.

I think a collapse is unlikely to happen. Even if "parasitism" is the right mental model, these aren't parasites that kill their host.

What will likely happen is Wikipedia survives, remains extremely prominent, but becomes politically polarized and loses trust of those outside its faction.

That will be the view of some, but others will see it as a shining, righteous hammer to beat their opponents with.

The task to respond to that situation is an extremely difficult one 1) create fork that doesn't turn into an opposite-polarization cesspit, 2) burn away Wikipedia's goodwill, which is what makes it valuable to faction you call "parasites."
