Paper>>Constrained Wiki-An Oxymoron?

In this paper we propose a new wiki concept ? light constraints ? designed to encode community best practices and domain-specific requirements, and to assist in their application. While the idea of constraining user editing of wiki content seems to inherently contradict ?The Wiki Way,? it is well-known that communities of users involved in wiki sites have the habit of establishing best authoring practices. For domain-specific wiki systems which process wiki content, it is often useful to enforce some well-formedness conditions on specific page contents.
