User blog comment:JustinDaOne/Community Wiki Users Survey!/@comment-5085186-20130808041038

Hi, Justin! Wanted to give input on your questions:

1-I think a Wiki is successful when it is truly community run and has an agreed-upon "primary reason for existence". I think healthy debates and discussions are great. I love our Wiki using Message Walls rather than talk pages. I believe that the wikis I've seen that most impress me are those that have a good Manual of Style and clear policies that are easy to find and read, and staff that stays on top of things to ensure policies and processes are followed.

2-Nothing, really

3-I love the community development/collaborative nature of wikis, and it saddens me when I see wikis where admins ban users just because they (the admin) don't like a person. I love wikis where good faith is assumed and staff discusses issues with users (not with true vandals, but with those who are just trying to learn).
