Hi,
I will go as far as saying that Wikipedia research actually changed the
nature of the CSCW field and the CSCW conference. A few years ago an
avalanche of Wiki-related papers arrived to the CSCW conference, which
(in my opinion as a semi-outsider to that community) added social media
as a major element. Indeed in recent years the conference changed name
and now is "Computer-Supported Collaborative Work and Social Computing".
Cheers,

Can I ask a silly question: Is wiki research (including Wikipedia
research) research on computer-supported collaborative work (CSCW).
My immediate thought was: yes of course. I do note that on Wikipedia
there is only a parenthetic mentioning of Wikipedia in
"Computer-supported cooperative work" and no mentioning of CSCW in
"Wiki" (but I have also heard that you shouldn't trust Wikipedia because
anyone can edit).
I suppose that some wiki research could be non-CSCW research? E.g.,
research on named entity extraction using Wikipedia would not be called
CSCW.
