What is a Wiki?
From WikiPedia:
- A wiki is software that allows users to collaboratively create, edit, link, and organize the content of a website, usually for reference material. Wikis are often used to create collaborative websites and to power community websites.
There are many different Wiki software packages. In this workshop, we will deal specifically with MediaWiki, the Wiki software developed for WikiPedia and used for many other Wikis, including this ML2SIG Wiki.
Wiki Examples
- Wikipedia
- ML2SIG
- Muppet Wiki (and many others on Wikia)
