User blog comment:Meighan/Start a Wiki: Tips for Success/@comment-2106481-20110624215825

Here's my story:

I'm a huge roller coaster enthusiast! After making a few minor edits on various wikis, I thought I'd look and see if there was a roller coaster wiki. To my surprise, there were no successful roller coaster wikis!

So, I started editing this wiki. The user that started it had apparently abandoned it and there was only one article, so I was basically starting from scratch. I eventually got good enough, and became the bureaucrat through adoption.

I've shared links to the wiki on several coaster fan-sites that I'm on, had the wiki spotlighted twice, and recently created a Facebook page. This has gotten a fair number of visitors.

Thanks for reading!
