[[Wiki]] moderation capability varies very widely, and many wiki administrators are very very stupid. The vast majority of wikis are killed by arbitrary and capricious behaviour that convinces willing editors that their work won't be respected, and no one cares to consult them on important changes to policy. The flipside of wiki is that while you get free [[:Category:Open content|open content]] contributed, the contributors will disappear if you don't cut the right balance between redirecting out-of-scope concerns elsewhere and letting the contributors decide, or if you don't cut the right balance between pleasing the old trolls and helping new ones. <span style="font-size:smaller" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[WikiIndex:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/142.177.72.113|142.177.72.113]] ([[User talk:142.177.72.113|talk]]) 22:33, 4 March 2007 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> | [[Wiki]] moderation capability varies very widely, and many wiki administrators are very very stupid.

Just noticed [[OneBuckWiki]] listed at WikiIndex, looks like there some websites calling themselves wikis where you have to pay before you can edit them. Should these pay-to-edit "wikis" be listed at WikiIndex? --[[User:EarthFurst|EarthFurst]] 16:34, 17 December 2007 (EST) | Just noticed [[OneBuckWiki]] listed at WikiIndex, looks like there some websites calling themselves wikis where you have to pay before you can edit them.

How about adding | How about adding Pay to edit as a sixth category of [[:Category:Wiki Edit Mode|Wiki Edit Mode]]? (I don't like the idea of those pay-to-edit wikis lurking around in the LoginToEdit category.) --[[User:EarthFurst|EarthFurst]] 14:56, 19 January 2008 (EST) | ||
: I would suggest, these wikis could be moved from [[:Category:LoginToEdit|LoginToEdit]] to [[:Category: | : I would suggest, these wikis could be moved from [[:Category:LoginToEdit|LoginToEdit]] to [[:Category:Pay to edit|Pay to edit]], maybe with some words on this odd idea "pay-to-edit".

I expect to find useful things here - not advertisers and [[spam]]mers. By listing things like "[[OneBuckWiki]]" we only promote advertisment bullshit and help them making money! This doesn't help the users to find useful wikis. Instead we should for example have a useful structure (e.g. categorisation) that helps finding things here...--[[User:Speckmade|Speckmade]] 03:18, 12 February 2008 (EST) | I expect to find useful things here - not advertisers and [[spam]]mers.

: ''Hi, I think that a [[:Category: | : ''Hi, I think that a [[:Category:Pay to edit|Pay to edit]] category would be a useful tool to express what we think is valuable about [[wiki]]. I do agree with Speckmade that we should figure out how to barnraise some category work around here, (feeling guilty). I would like to get folks together for an hour or two to trim down the [[WikiProject:Wikis to Add|Wikis to Add]] - anyone interested? Best, [[MarkDilley]] | ||
