How do you set up a WordPress blog with multiple authors to allow something like StackExchange’s “community wiki” feature?
I believe your best bet is to create a custom post type for the certain posts you want editable by multiple authors. When you register your post assign a capability type (#WIKI# in this example) and then add the ‘edit_others_#WIKI#s’ to the author role.
Multiple Unique Author Profiles
You could register a user_meta field (probably a dropdown) and use that to select templates. You will still need to use if statements to differentiate the templates, but you’re going to need that regardless of the route you take. If you use get_template_part() you can split out the actual html and such of it and … Read more

I think that the best approach is to add the edit_other_posts capability to “author” role in plugin/theme activation and remove that capability on plugin/theme deactivation. With this method you only run the task once and you don’t need further coding. Using plugin activation/deactivation: register_activation_hook( __FILE__, ‘cyb_activation_function’ ); function cyb_activation_function() { $author = get_role( ‘author’ ); … Read more
