[wiki-research] study on how users employ wikitext

[Max Völkel]

TK> I was wondering if anyone knows about any research that examines how
TK> users of wikis employs wikitext. I'm particularly interested in work

TK> features over time, and the extent to which there are significant

TK> If anyone has any leads on papers in this area, please let me know.

Hi,  I  don't.  Surprisingly.  Maybe  this  knowledge  is hidden in a way in the
wikipedia  history,  because  some  users  have accounts by name and their edits
contain syntax - which one can mine.

Maybe JWiki [1] is of some help. Hmm, it has no version access yet.

I would be very interested in any papers you find on that subject.
