I'm looking for various management styles and user contributions to wikis. I
never explored using a wiki until it was installed here, and now I'm wondering
how various wikis encourage contributions and discourage random edits.

I've only ever looked at things like Wowwiki and lostpedia, but never logged
in as an editor or user. Has anyone done these things? How were their wikis
managed?

The only other wiki I actively use is one that we use in my office as kind of a communal whiteboard and knowledge repository. As it's being used in a professional environment, we haven't really applied any specific rules to the system.

But, when you're paying people, and the history-tracker tells you who makes specific changes, it kind of discourages the graffiti that you see on public sites.
