Many people here refer to the wiki managed by them as "my wiki". This is very strange, because a wiki is not particular to anyone. A wiki is owned by those who use it, don't you agree?
You can call something yours if you belong to it, as much as if it belongs to you. That's how it is in my country, at least.
Not sure if that last sentence was also meant to be an example :-) ...but just like that. Or "my native language" or if you are a child and going back to "my home" when technically, it is your parents that own it (or maybe you're a really rich child :-) ).
But like what Chad pointed out, there are lots of people out there that maintain wiki's for only one user. I do also and while it might go against the spirit of what a wiki is, I find it replaces a "permanent notebook" since I can search through it easier than multiple pages.
