We endure some maintenance responsibility if our work is to last. We will occasionally invite pages into or presence to do temporary work. We'll see how our home becomes the temporary target of craft without us becoming the craftsman.
The landlord must engage trades familiar with the complexity of multi-family dwellings.
Your home's supply and drainage system must always be two distinct subsystems, with no overlapping. At the fixtures (bridges between the two systems), the air admitted by the vent stack and vent pipes keeps the traps sealed and prevents sewer gases from backing up through the drains.
Whether you rent or own you will expect your plumbing to work. Plumbing is complicated business so when things go wrong, or even before they go wrong, you will want to engage qualified help. But when the wiki homes you provide are occupied by others then you can expect just selecting craftsmen to challenge your own experience.
We promote the wiki way of living without exactly proscribing how you should live. Our Tips for Administrators is like a self-help book that explains household plumbing. Our Plugmatic plugin joins several others that fill the role of power tools you may not need but are glad to have when hosting space for others.
You can visit a power-tool wielding page into your into your lineup and put it to work without making it a permanent part of your household. You need not fork the page. The power tools operate on the server which you operate to the benefit of yourself and others. Then let the page go on its way when its work is done.

We're struggling with the metaphor as we now must explain installing and updating plugins that let "visitors" write pages that help admins maintain their servers. This may only work when a well-developed set of x-matic plugins are always available in standard distributions.
