(Just to clarify, what I meant was their tagging+concept system, which is very similar to the EA Wikiās system and is being drawn on for the EA Wikiās system. I now realise my previous commentānow editedāwas misleading in that it (a) said āThe new LessWrong Wikiā like that was its name and (b) didnāt give a link. Google suggests that they arenāt calling this new thing āthe LessWrong Wikiā.)
Yep, the new wiki/ātagging system has been going decently well, I think. We are seeing active edits, and in general I am a lot less worried about it being abandoned, given how deeply it is integrated with the rest of LW (via the tagging system, the daily page and the recent discussion feed).
Also worth mentioning is that LessWrong has recently extended the karma system to wiki edits. You can see it here. Iām pretty excited about this feature, which I expect to increase participation, and look forward to its deployment for the EA Wiki.
The improvements are now ported to the Wiki. Not only can you vote for individual contributions, but you can also see, for each article, a list of each contributor, and see their contributions by hovering over their names. Articles now also show a table of contents, and there may be other features I havenāt yet discovered. Overall, Iām very impressed!

Great! Iām also intuitively optimistic about the effect of these new features on Wiki uptake, editor participation, etc.
