The '''founder''' of a [[wiki]] site is the [[user]] who originally started it. | The '''founder''' of a [[wiki]] site is the [[user]](s) who originally started it. Founders are distinct from [[leader]]s although sometimes the two are the same person(s). In the case of [[Ward's Wiki]], [[Ward Cunningham]] is both the founder and one of the leaders of creating content. In 2000, [[SunirShah]] [[forking|forked]] some of the content to create [[MeatBallWiki]] which had few real leaders. [[Wikipedia]] was founded by [[Larry Sanger]] and [[Jimmy Wales]] in 2001 but neither is very active today (Sanger left and founded [[Citizendium]] in 2006 and Wales has mostly focused on outreach efforts and [[Wikia]].) | ||
