There are also a lot of wikis that people want to work on or create, but leave them after a few months, because editing it gets boring, or they actually don't know what else they should add to it. And growing a community definitely is hard work, especially from scratch, that's why you are encouraged to start contributing on existing wikis, instead of starting your own. However, getting your own wiki among the established ones after a while can be rewarding, but whether the reward outweighs the effort is up to you (or it's just a personal project, in which case, good for you). Me, personally, started editing on an abandoned wiki (that was abandoned for years), in order to first get it updated, and then get it more well-known, if possible. That saved me all the trouble of setting up a first base, creating a design, and searching for all that information, which would have cost a lot of time. However, there is also the matter of theme or genre of the wiki: "lifestyle" wikis (non-games, non-movies, non-tv...) generally don't do very well on the entire platform.
