What is the MetaFilter wiki?

The MetaFilter Wiki is an unofficial collaborative wiki run by Adrian Hon. The purpose of this Wiki is to produce and maintain a general guide for the community weblog called MetaFilter. It is editable by anyone, whether they are a MetaFilter user or not. There is a lot of good information about MetaFilter there, especially about specific users and community norms and behaviors.
