But if my fear is justified and any split just creates an isolated, quarantined mini-wiki we didn't exactly do any favors by creating it and shucking content over to it.

Well yeah, but I think they have a much better chance of getting it off the ground with a separate wiki. And if it doesn't, at least we gave them a chance. The current setup is not really better IMHO.

I don't disagree. I am just wondering if there might be a better option than the two presented......

Undoubtedly it's a risk. I think we can all agree on that.

But we do have a sniff of a demand for it. So let's just compare what could happen.

We do it: 1) If the demand is there and it takes off, we have expanded the wiki, introduced it to a new audience and all is great. 2) If the demand is not there, we have wasted the effort and risk making a small, isolated community that is virtually non-existent.

We don't do it: 1) If the demand is there, it won't manifest itself. 2) If the demand is not there, it won't manifest itself.

I think it's clear we would have to take the risk to see any form result!

By "we", you of course mean "me". And I'm fine with wasting an afternoon on this if it doesn't take off.

But yes.

However, I realise I forgot to write the other caveat I was thinking of, which would be to assess the amount of effort required. After all, any project we you do would have to be based on a good effort-to-awesome ratio.
