She particularly asks: “I was curious if a more, uh, rabid fanbase lead to increased wiki activity. Discounting page views, since not all of the wikis provided them, and without any accurate subscriber counts, we’re left with ratios of wiki users to other stuff.” And Vanguard wins, haha.

You'd need better data than the default MediaWiki stats page to work out <i>contributing</i> users. We'll make do with what we have! By the numbers, WoW Wiki appears to run a very tight ship, and by just reading the site, you can see they have really fantastic content. I wonder how well known it is in the greater WoW community. If the comments on Thottbot are any indication, they're probably better off under the radar. :) Yeah, registered users isn’t a great number.

All of Y!PP's support staff, as well as the lion's share of the company's engineers/artists, have bureaucrat and sysop powers on the YPPedia, but only a very, very small portion of them actually utilize them on a regular basis. Couple that with the fact that not all of our player volunteers are voraciously active, and you can probably peg the effective number of YPPedia's admins at 10 or 12. That said, it would thus appear that *all* of the Wikis examined (barring Wikipedia, of course) are maintained by an active policing squad of about a dozen people. Heh. Kind of makes you wonder if that's what'll end up happening to the LOTRO Wiki. Actually, the first thing to jump out at me is the number of admins listed for the YPPedia site.
