search:Customary wiki ways
In the wiki world, particularly on Wikipedia, a number of customary practices have developed, for example assume good faith, and, of course, the fundamental principle that any user may edit any page. There is a great deal of thoughtful analysis of such principles and practices on Meatball Wiki, for example, the article Assume Good Faith there. Wikipedia, with its large active user base, has been a lab for practical application of these principles and practices. Analysis of the experience there offers much insight regarding how they work in practice. Generally, pretty well, but not without difficulties. For example, you can adapt consensus decision making, but unless an issue commands the attention of a significant part of the users, decisions may end up being made by a pretty small group.
