CreateWiki, createBlog should have one of these Options

[*Duchess of Dork*]

You know, I've always thought it'd be cool if the createBlog community could have something like Wikipedia, but exclusively for the createBlog community. For example, YTMND's Wiki. I was browsing through their Wiki one day and I thought it was pretty cool, so I was like, "hey, createBlog should have one of these."

The YTMND Wiki and Wikipedia both are run by MediaWiki, and after looking at it a bit, I figured maybe this could actually work out.

I'd love to get this up and running for createBlog, though of course I'm going to need some opinions first and help later.

DISCUSS. :)

Although this would be a open-edit Wiki, any information added should try to remain as neutral as possible, or, at the least should not offend anyone. Also, I wouldn't have a problem with people being able to request for information to be removed (and to not be added again).

How are we supposed to make sure that any information will be neutral?



EDIT:///////////////////////////////////////

I read over the responses, including mine, and I guess we could just do it the way Wiki does it: highly vandalized pages will require mod preview before-hand (or only certain, well-established contributers may edit it) and if a member is proven to be consistently abusing the privelege, they can't post anymore.

As Arjuna said (in different words), we can have a report button. We can hope that it won't be abused but if an article has offensive/inappropriate content, I don't think people would hesitate to report it.

• How do you propose that CB deal with vandalism? Judging by the forums, the wiki would inevitably see a lot of spam, greatly reducing its utilitarian value. Wikipedia has mechanisms in place to deal with this, but Wikipedia also has more manpower than CB. How could CB deal with it?

When addressing the issue of vandalism in the potential cB Wiki, it wouldn't hurt to keep in mind that although cB has a lot less people to prevent vandalism, there will also be fewer people to actually cause the vandalism.

i dont see this as a bad idea. id even help out. it would be interesting for new members to look up random history of cB. (ie me, cause i left for 3yrs? lol)
