The myth of wiki inaccuracy has been addressed in several places in the preceding chapters, but it is worth reiterating that research and experience has repeatedly shown that wikis are at least as, and in many cases more, accurate in content than their traditional print counterparts.
The most successful wikis are those set up and used by teams and communities with shared interests and goals. As such they are read and monitored by subject matter experts and stake holders alike. Mistakes are quickly spotted and corrected, often in seconds. They also provide a place for the collective wisdom of the group to be captured and used by a much wider audience, often breaking down functional barriers, eliminating duplication of effort, and increasing understanding.
The true power of a wiki is not that anyone can edit, the true power of the wiki is that it promotes and enables collaboration.
