 * Disclaimer-I'm not staff, just a knowledgeable user

Driving traffic to your site takes a lot of work and often some luck. The first thing you should do is make sure there's something there when they get there. Before you worry about other contributors, my personal opinion is that you should have:

At least 20 pages of content with 300 bytes or more- Really over 1k bytes on the page.

Customized look. Pick out some colors and always use them for everything. Make sure you know their Hex codes

Start coming up with a logo  to use

BTW, I founded a wiki, you can see it and it's rules here:

http://kaos.wikia.com/wiki/KAOS_information

When you say the rules- Wikia's rules are here:

http://www.wikia.com/Terms_of_use

You will write rules for your own wiki, as well. The articles from staff suggest starting with the basics and adding rules as the community has issues with things users do.

Some standard rules that most wikis have:

no spamming

no vandalism

no socking-whether or not alts are allowed varies. Usually, smaller communities don't have rules about it and very large communities prohibit it.

Will you allow swearing?

More established sites usually don't allow new categories to be created.
