Want more people to contribute to your Wiki?

If you’ve built it but wonder when they’ll come, then take a look at WikiPatterns (http://www.wikipatterns.com/). Wikipatterns.com is a toolbox of behavior ‘patterns and anti-patterns’, and a guide to the stages of wiki adoption.

Applying patterns that help coordinate people’s efforts and guide the growth of content, and recognizing anti-patterns that might hinder growth - can give your wiki the greatest chance of success.

Most entries describe what the pattern is, how it’s used, give examples, and offer solutions (for anti-patterns).

The site is a wiki in itself so contributions are welcome to expand the body of knowledge.
