As computing goes “collaborative and social” [1], the 2012 ACM Computing Classification System (CCS) [2] has made a few modifications that put CSCW under the umbrella called "Collaborative and social computing", along with other social media, blogs, wikis, etc.

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.
