I'm looking for one or two people to help me manage the KetchApp wikia: http://the-ketchapp.wikia.com/wiki/ Unless you have a massive audience or a small, very dedicated (wiki editing) audience, I think you really need social media accounts.

Note: this may not result in more editors! But it may. And that's one reason to do it. The other is that you can actually share what you've created on your wiki with other people so they can benefit from it.

Resources

 * Integrating your wikia social media accounts into your wiki is important, too. You can use the code on the Pocket Rumble wiki if you want (under the CC-BY-SA license).


 * A video and writeup from Wikia on social media


 * Really, wikia sites are more like fan websites (though they are wikis), so all the practices around building an audience for a blog or website apply. You can find loads of articles on that--e.g. Copyblogger or Problogger . I don't agree with lots of things on those sites, but they post some stuff that's okay. They're just two examples.
