Creating or maintaining a wiki? Here you will find tips to keep your wiki running at its full potential.
- Don't restrict your Wiki to approved authors-only. Some of the best contributions will come from your member base and some will even come from anonymous posters.
- Delete useless pages. Wikis can easily become cluttered with new user "test pages".
- Don't be afraid to ask from help. If you need help with a page or section, your contributors or potential contributors may need someone to call it out.
- If you need Wiki help be sure to check out Wetpaint Central
- Promote a honest environment between contributors
