====== Contributor ======

Often readers of a WikiWeb are not seen as contributors. Contributors can have different roles within the WikiWeb. They can be shapers, organizers or simply be writers (Authors) of Wiki articles.

===== Usage =====

The contributor starts small by correcting typos and thrives to develop his writing skills.

===== Example =====

A contributor is someone who possesses the following traits:

  * is eager to learn the structure of a wiki
  * has read lots of wiki articles
  * has viewed some markup

===== Related Patterns =====

  * [[WikiGnome]] - also known as WikiGardener, a person who keeps the wiki running smoothly by fixing broken links, typos, and improving the overall flow and quality of content. 
  * [[Maintainers]], [[Champions]] and WikiGnomes are critical to the success and quality of the wiki.
  * [[WikiTroll]] - someone who tries to disrupt the wiki by posting inflammatory comments and distracting people from the talk at hand. A champion will swiftly deal with the disruptions of a WikiTroll to keep the wiki running smoothly, and try to help the WikiTroll become a more productive community member.
