Lots of junk in the FT wiki
I have recently started contributing to the FT Wiki, trying to build it up into a great, usable resource. I've noticed, though, that if you look at the list of new pages, there is a lot of junk there! Lots of pages that at first glance appear to be empty, but if you click on "Edit", you see lots of linkspam.
Could an administrator police the new changes and delete as they're created? Or has there been any consideration of creating "Moderators" for the wiki much like for the discussion boards? If that's a possibility, I'll volunteer. I have some experience editing the English Wikipedia, and would love for the FT wiki to become great!
Cheers,
LBBZman

Thanks for the heads up. Actually over 30 of the volunteer moderators are in San Francisco this weekend at the 3rd ModDo working on topics such as just this. I'll let you know what comes of the topic which is on the agenda and the plans for policing the Wiki, just as you have outlined.
I and many other members very much appreciate your interest to help this great resourse along. Again, thanks.
