Over the next few months, Pablo and I will be looking for ways to incentivize wiki edits from the wider community. A few things that come to mind:
A feature allowing people to see their wiki edits on their own profiles
An addition to the Forum Prize. awarding one or more wiki edits each month
More targeted solicitation toward Forum users we expect will be strong editors for specific articles
These ideas seem good to me. I think another low-hanging fruit might be some way of displaying quantitative info about how much someone has contributed to this EA wiki, as is done on Wikipedia; see here for elaboration.
But it might be best to do all of these things after getting more sense of how much impact contributing to the wiki/tags has (see my other comment), since that’ll inform how much time it’d actually be good to get people spending contributing to the wiki/tags.
We definitely want to add wiki contribution data to user profiles (it’s a natural accompaniment to the lists of users’ posts and comments), though the timeline for that project isn’t yet established.
