Rights and Gate Keeping

Colm Maguire

I am interested to know who in your organisations has the right to add what to the wiki? How structured are you all in this approach. The organisation I am in has zero rules or guidelines and it's a free for all. The result is a difficulty in finding information. 

So what rules and regulations do you have in your organisations for who can post what , where and when? 

Thanks

What I find works best in most places is ownership

For each space, or set of spaces, find/elect a few people who you can make responsible for the spaces.  Make them space admins, and name them somewhere as the area champions/curators/admins/owners

Get them trained in the basics - space permissions (so they can control who can or cannot write in their spaces), how restrictions work, how to easily re-arrange, merge or delete pages.  And give them the authority to tell authors in their spaces to stop doing it wrong.
