Wiki's !^[1]

A wiki is a website that provides collaborative modification of its content and structure directly from the web browser. In a typical wiki, text is written using a simplified markup language (known as "wiki markup") and often edited with the help of a rich-text editor. A wiki is run using wiki software, otherwise known as a wiki engine. There are dozens of different wiki engines in use, both standalone and part of other software, such as bug tracking systems. Some wiki engines are open source, whereas others are proprietary. Some permit control over different functions (levels of access); for example, editing rights may permit changing, adding or removing material. Others may permit access without enforcing access control. Other rules may also be imposed to organize content. A wiki engine is a type of content management system, but it differs from most other such systems, including blog software, in that the content is created without any defined owner or leader, and wikis have little implicit structure, allowing structure to emerge according to the needs of the users.^[2]

characteristics of a wiki[edit]

I found this list on wikia^[3].

Wikis can be edited by multiple approved people
All edits are tracked in the page's history
Linking between pages on a wiki is very simple
Pages are automatically placed in a list of all pages
A recent changes page shows all edits made to the wiki
Any bad edits can be easily reverted

wiki markup[edit]

There is a special syntax to use when you are editing a wiki. It is simple. It is called "wiki markup", and differs from one wiki engine to the next wiki engine. please click this link to learn about wiki markup
