How should I set Permissions in this situation?
I am setting up MediaWiki software in a certain musical genre. I like the way WikiPedia opens editing for everyone because this subject has so many groups and history this would make it do-able. But the question I have is one of just starting.
WikiPedia has many people to look at the submissions & revisions, whether legitimate or vandals, and can choose whether to submit changes or not. Right now, I am only one person, so would this approach also be good for me at this point?
Thanks,
Provided you have enough time to devote to your wiki, it certainly can work. (It's very important to make sure you aren't over taken by spammers/vandals if you are using an open model. Things like ConfirmEdit (captcha extension) can help with spam, but a real human looking at RecentChanges reverting things is still very important)
At the end of the day, this is something you have to decide for yourself.
