Good article and nice tone.

Y'know, when I first became an editor, I was not only woefully ignorant about how wiki editing worked, but also about the importance of SEO in keeping wikis "front and center" for visitors and users, alike. But...I learned and am still learning new editing techniques, terminology and other vital wiki "stuff." I realize that some admins/editors just want a topical playground and I respect that, but somebody has to take care of the grounds and look after the equipment or your "playground" will be poorly used, look shabby and eventually be shut down. That is a fact nowadays. FANDOM is a top result in search engines (not just Google) because of a team effort. People are fond of saying YOLO, but I prefer saying, "It's not all about you."
