Wiki Wiki Story
On February, 28 2004 a
GoogleSearch brought a
NetiZen to a
WikiPage deep within
TheWikiForest. The
SearchParameter lost the moment he began to read. From the first
WikiWord he knew this was different. He had that feeling you get when you find something that you never knew was lost.
The words clung to him as if they were his grandfather telling him a story. As he clicked his way through the pages he began to realize that he was in the midst of a completely different world. With
EditText on every page, the
WikiPuppy had discovered
WardsWiki.
The more he read the more he wanted to become a
WikiCitizen. He created his
HomePage and continued to read while
CollectingSeashells along the way. He learned about
WikiHistory,
WhyWikiWorks,
RecentChanges, and so much more. He even had the pleasure of meeting a
WikiCitizen and caught a glimpse of a
WikiGnome.
Soon, he began to watch
RecentChanges and
RecentEdits and he realized that a tremendous amount of
WikiMaintenance is required to keep
WardsWiki presentable to
WikiVisitors and helpful to
WikiNewbies. He understood that
WhyWikiWorks is due to the dedication of many
WikiGnomes,
WikiCitizens, and more.
Eager to learn more, Tim traveled deeper and deeper into
WardsWiki. However, the deeper he traveled the darker it became. Filled with contradiction and
WikiWars, somewhere along the line, the
WikiSpirit had broken.
WikiPages throughout
WardsWiki have been stopped in their tracks via
ThreadMode,
SignedComments, and
AnonymousDonors. Smelling of disaster from the
BigWikiFireOfDoubleOught to more recent
EditWars,
TheWikiWay somehow carries on.
Thinking about everything he learned from
GoodStyle, to
PatternMatching, and from the
FrontPage to
SisterSites, he was reminded of a saying from a long time ago.
ItWorksIfYouWorkIt As new as he is to wiki, Tim believes in
TheWikiWay and the
LifeForce planted by
WardCunningham. With his team of
InvitedAuthors and all those that have come and gone, Ward has inspired this
WikiCommunity. In honor of
WardCunningham and all of the
WikiCitizens of
TheOriginalWiki, I invite you to join in on
CleaningWardsWiki.
