I have to admit, I have no idea what a wiki is. I haven't been here very long though.
Women in kinky images?
Where is the Kingdom of Israel?
What if Kermit inquires?
Want it? Keep it? |

Unfortunately, the Wiki is underutilized...

| It's a kind of encyclopedia, that everybody can edit, delete, or add information in it. |

| Unfortunately the wiki is still not yet simple enough, in its interface, to encourage spontaneity. There was some encouraging stuff going on a few months ago, but interest waned. I don't understand how a wiki can be successful among some interest groups on the web and not others - particularly when, in this community, you already have a group of technically courageous and naturally inquisitive types. Maybe someone out there has an idea for setting up a more accessible "storefront" for the wiki. Honestly, I'd do it myself if had the computer skills. |

OK, who flushed the wiki? Man you know you're not supposed to flush the wiki man!

You are right but it changes all the time but only in a certain department. Check "Recent changes" and you'll see what are changed.

having to petition god to get images into a wiki page is a major inhibitor for me, it seems that you should be able to at least link to images from posts already on DIY - thumbnails don't do it for me though - are there the same bandwidth issues with wiki - the usage pattern may differ enough to allow full images
also, while I haven’t seen how it works in practice, it seems your only editorial control over your contribution is persistent reversion/restoration in the face of even one unprincipled “opponent “ when explaining controversial topics
can regions be "locked" so that commentators have to address the the whole in context, rather than destroying the meaning with "helpful" (or malicious) edits? |

That's what works with wikis, people can DELETE these malicious edits, but the problem is if someone searching for information reads it before someone finds there's an error . . .(You know if it's about mains wiring . . .)
EDIT: They should put a warning in the wiki, telling that the information might not be true, and some moderators for each domains. |
