Why Monitor Activity?

There are valid reasons for monitoring the activity on your wiki, they include but are not limited to:

1. Check content to ensure it meets the group's standards of conduct
2. Verify content fits within the group's scope
3. Check formatting
4. Check links
5. Check for copyright infringement
6. See who is actually using the wiki
1. Helps to see if it is being used by the group as a repository
2. To encourage their continued participation
3. To help them with technical aspects

Viewing Wiki Activity

The Role of Moderator

What should be our reaction when someone does something that is "against the rules"?

Getting other people to participate is truly the biggest challenge any wiki creator faces, the problems listed above are secondary.

I have been promoting wikis for over 10 years and have NEVER had anyone do something intentionally malicious.
They have made mistakes, but that is what they were, mistakes, honest mistakes.

Do you want to?discourage?them? Make them angry? There is a REALLY easy way to accomplish this:
Delete their post.

However, if you want to?encourage?them to continue to contribute, just change their behavior, there is a much more productive way to do it.
Communicate privately with them and let them know what needs to be changed, explaining the reasons why.
Ask?them?to make the necessary changes.
Be kind about it.
Thank them for participating.

Usually a lot of thought and effort goes into creating a wikipage,?
Much more than most messages.

Respect their effort.
