The document discusses wikipatterns.com, a wiki toolbox that provides patterns and anti-patterns to help wikis grow their user base and content. It began with 29 patterns and anti-patterns and has grown over 10 years to now include 86 as more have been identified and added based on community experiences. Applying successful patterns can help wikis scale up from 10 to 1000 users, while recognizing anti-patterns may hinder growth. The wiki itself has grown from the initial contributions of a few to now include participation from over 875 people.
