"How do you get new editors?"
 * By creating a sense of community. On some wikis there are admins who are inactive or even if they are active they barely make any contributions to the wiki. By responding to talk page posts, encouraging your editors, and improving the appearance of your wiki, you can let other editors know that there is an active community on the wiki that cares about the wikis upkeep.

""What do you do when trolls attack?''"
 * Unless you are faced with obvious vandalism, give the user the benefit of the doubt. Most people tend to go off on someone who does something incorrectly on the page, but the user could have meant no harm, they could have been ignorant to the policies of the wiki. So on their first violation of policy they should be warned as politely as possible, and if their vandalism continues, block them. Now in the case of obvious vandalism, I usually just block without question.

Have you been successful at promoting your pages?
 * I've never done anything to try to promote our pages, but our wiki is pretty popular.
