Everyone has the option of watching their own pages, but no one is responsible for content at the moment. The thinking behind the monitor script was that we would want to check & verify the data every few months to make sure it is still accurate (we use another piece of software that goes through constant revisions).

The MediaWiki version is 1.8.2 I check in on the special pages every now and again to see what I can be doing to clean up, but I've been looking to automate when possible. For example, my next project is a script that will do a regexp search using the titles of articles, match them against the text of articles, and create a wiki link on the first instance of a match in the text of an article. Some people are very comfortable making edits on the fly, and some are not, but just about everyone around here loves it (our old help system had no search ability).

I've already made up some simple instructions for editing, and we've shown it off to everyone, and while the theory is that everyone will be doing the editing, in practice it's going to come down to myself and a few others, and anyway I can make the machine do the work is helpful; especially if it's work I need to repeat across every article in there.
