From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A **wiki** is a page or collection of [|Web pages] designed to enable anyone who accesses it to contribute or modify content, using a simplified [|markup language].[|[1]][|[2]] Wikis are often used to create [|collaborative] [|websites] and to power community websites. The collaborative encyclopedia [|Wikipedia] is one of the best-known wikis.[|[2]] Wikis are used in business to provide [|intranets] and [|Knowledge Management] systems. [|Ward Cunningham], developer of the first [|wiki software], [|WikiWikiWeb], originally described it as "the simplest online database that could possibly work".[|[3]] "Wiki" ( /wiːkiː/  ) is originally a [|Hawaiian] word for "fast". It has been suggested that "wiki" means "What I Know Is".[|[4]] However, this is a [|backronym]. "Wiki Wiki" is a [|reduplication] of the same word.
