Encourage Others To ContributeThis is a featured page

Why should I encourage others to contribute?

A wiki with only one contributing member is more like a blog than a wiki. Getting others to contribute on your site allows you to harness the knowledge and skills of many people. Here are some of the benefits you'll get from encouraging contribution:
  • Your site will be more social and have more discussions
  • It brings a wider range of ideas to the site
  • An active site is more likely to grow and become popular
  • You don't have to do all the work yourself
  • It's more fun!
