Is there actually that much wiki-ing going on on SCP-wiki? It always seemed that it was just the author doing anything with the pieces more like a fanfiction.net than a wiki.

SCPs themselves can be written by anyone, thrown into the 'Sandbox' wiki, and approved by staff. (I have never gone through the process myself, so if anyone else wants to clarify, please do.)

  SCP articles are written by anyone and posted by anyone(who is a member, which. Is staff approval via simple rules and entering a code in application) and the community votes on it. Anything below a certain threshold is deleted by staff.

SCP is a good example of things that can go wrong with a wiki other than vandalism. Heavy handed self-proclaimed editors with too much time on their hands to stifle any creative writing that doesn't fit the mold of schlocky fan fiction.

  Other than not being forkable to satisfy the people who's fiction is excluded, what's the problem? You can't satisfy everyone, those that want a consistent theme and voice would be unhappy if they ease up. Do any wiki's support forking and merging?
