User blog comment:Xean/What Works for Your Wiki?/@comment-4116523-20110602152743

I feel that a good theme in both the Wikia and Monobook theme will help visually please users. A kind group of admins who are stern when needed and not all the time. Active groups of rollbackers and admins to revert the vandalism and block/delete the needed pages. A good standard across all of the pages. And some activities, such as the Temple of Courage on Zeldapedia or The Glitz Pit on MarioWiki. I've also seen some wikis that have a Featured Media section on their main page, which'll interest IP editors to create an account and suggest other pieces of media for the featured media. Of course, templates that work on both skins, a main page that is viewable in both skins, and colours that aren't drastically contrasting, if they have a customised theme, that is. I also feel that an IRC channel is good for interacting with users, and that a Twitter and Facebook page are good to have so that the wiki can become known to people outside of Wikia.
