When I saw that Wikipatterns site a few months ago, it really clicked for me. I'd been seeing those tendencies on many of the wikis I'd created (and some I'd just observed the development of), and it was nice to know that it wasn't just me who was witnessing those very specific behavioral patterns. It's so tempting when you create a wiki to over-engineer it, to add tons of content, when there is a fine line to be drawn between seeding and "doing it all." Great post.
