Stuck with hundreds of skeleton articles. How to avoid and resolve?
Our wiki is widely used and viewed. We have templates that show wiki writers how to write a good wiki and this leads to well written wiki articles.
However there is an issue that we keep encountering and it really devalues our website. Stubs or poorly filled wikis generally get the template dumped in it. Then a few users add a tiny amount of information and the article then only has an almost empty skeleton. This of course causes a very high bounce rate and google indexing such pages as poor.
Not only readers feel lost on such pages, but also writers. Its overwhelming to see so much useless meaningless words, which buries the titbits of information available.
This problem concerns hundreds of wiki articles.
Its clear that the approach is wrong. We need an alternative approach which still inserts useful data and also allows users to follow templates but without rendering articles with a basic status completely useless.
Is there any functionality in vaultwiki that can be used to resolve this? Preferably something that does not exclude wiki writers with just basic technical capabilities.
I was think about suggesting functionality to resolve this problem, but I think its best to have some discussion about this first. What do you think about this?
