1) Loads of people working together to constantly improve the site. It's also good if you work together as a community rather than as a bunch of individuals as it just makes a much nicer working environment.

2) So, so much! I've learned how to deal with people, and I've learned how to work with code. I've learned how to lead, and I've learned how to get things done.  I am so glad I've found Wikia because I truly believe I am a much better person because of the skills I've gained here!

3) I started in a general chat forum on a wiki, just enjoying talking with people about that wiki's subject. I then hesitantly moved into the forums about the running of that wiki, and found it surprisingly interesting.  After contributing there for a while, but still feeling there was barely anything I could contribute to the mainspace pages, I actually found a similarly topiced wiki in a different style which seriously needed help, and so I did what I could and things have been improving ever since.  I have since become an admin on that wiki, and on some other wikis as well, and have greatly enjoyed working with different people to make those wikis the best they can be.  If I hadn't found that one forum just over 2 years ago now, I would have never thought twice about editing a wiki, but because I did find my way in here, I am definitely here to stay!!!
