Sumario:This work analyzed the involvement of fans in the collaborative construction of the Baker Street fan wiki within the Fandom community, implementing a quantitative analysis matrix based on five variables. Two analyses were conducted, first with data obtained from the platform itself (contributions, edits, conversations, and forum comments) from January 2013 to December 2021. The second analysis was carried out with data collected from a survey shared on the Baker Street forum on September 6, 2021,allowing users of the fan wiki to anonymously answer five questions related to the proposed tool. The results provided insightsinto how user participation, in this case, fans of the Holmesian canon, evolves in the collaborative construction of this fan wiki.The average result reveals the characteristics of the participating community, analyzing how a core group of fans at a given momentbecomes involved, produces, or interacts toward a common goal. This methodological tool proved to be scalable and flexible foranalyzing other communities and platforms, as the gradients within the measurable variables can be adapted to the space, location,and users involved.
