Well, I droped polish DMT-wiki project. There are three reasons:
1. I don't have time/I'm too lazy
2. I have no skills in using any wiki functionality (which means that my articles are just text, without images/references/other stuff
3. Last but not least - there is no point in making wiki alone. Wiki should be objective, constantly correcting, expanding and stuff. I can't do it alone, because. And of course nobody's reading it.
Well, you are not reading it in Polish.
Nobody is. I think only active users from Poland are Cone and Vurn, but they are not interested in this project. I don't think anybody else is reading it, and for sure nobody's editing, or voting in the poll.

Don't be so sure, it also seems nobody visits anymore the spanish subwiki because there's no activity, but i've been receiving messages from wikia that say 100 people on average visit it each day.
Anyways, it's true that it needs effort to maintain and sometimes it's discouraging because that effort doesn't give apparent results. If only I knew Polish... and I hadn't all these exams... :/
But that is not all like that. Working just for satisfaction of working, and learning skills is OK for me. I just think it will never be good, if I'll be doing it alone.
Well, I made the Spanish Subwiki 90% alone (I think I already said that). Then again it was mostly a translation work but...
as for your 3 reasons:
1) I can't argue with that XD
2) It's really easy, even more with the defalt editor, you'd just have to select the word nd click the link button/title button/image button/etc.
3) I'd say all wikis started like that, when someone decided to make it and started adding info. Then some more users join, and we know the rest. So probably if you continue adding some info then more users will be interested in it and start reading, and maybe eventually some of them start helping. That's what happened in my case, now that the wiki is "complete" activity kinda stopped, but while I was adding info at the latest stages I received much help from others too.
Thanks, I'll think about it, but first reason is still very strong.
Problem is I'm not translating, my wiki is already as big as original, and there is so much things to do! I'm just afraid, that many informations I add are bad.I don't to misslead somebody. I saw many very bad polilish wikis, and don't want mine to be like them. http://pl.mortalkombat.wikia.com/wiki/
