IMHO, the ranch has a lot of features to measure and encourage the quality of topics (and users) on the forum... thumbs up, cows, pies, resolve marks, rancher status, etc., backed by lots of privileges earned with those features. It would be great to see these features also applied to Wiki topics too.
On the other hand, the philosophy of Wikis is the ability for anyone to edit a page. This seems to be the opposite of quality...![]()

This doesn't preclude anybody to contribute to the WikiRanch, even if not in a direct form (by creating new pages).
If an user is an elite member, he or she can edit or create Wiki pages.
If not, he or she is still able (and welcome) to contribute: posting quality posts and discussions and let moderators evaluate if his or her work and ideas are worth to be part of a wiki.

This is actually a pretty strong position. In fact, I don't think we ever considered the Wiki as being a privileged feature that has to be earned to use.
