MeatballWiki | RecentChanges | Random Page | Indices | Categories Why does Wiki work, when there is no protection against vandalism? Why use a wiki, when anyone can change or delete anything there? What's to prevent someone from going berserk and wiping the whole site, or secretly changing the meaning of what people say, or clogging everything up with spam? The answer is the part of wikis that newcomers often miss: the community. Most community web sites rely on technology to restrict the actions of community members. Elaborate schemes have been designed to moderate postings (such as SlashDot and KuroShin) or to establish a trust metric for community members to rate each other (such as AdvoGato).

There are several problems with this: Only one person can generally edit what they have already said, regardless of how bad a mistake they have made. Wikis work better because they rely on the community, rather than technology, to police itself. In short, wikis work because of the community. ! Presentation2010x08x17 < Codev.
