What is a wiki? A wiki is a quick and easy, online website in which users can collaboratively create new articles and edit and discuss existing articles. The operative word in the previous sentence is collaborative. Wikis are a prime example of the power in collaborative knowledge: it is a user-generated, user-edited and user-maintained site. That means each page is open to anyone interested in contributing to the creation of content. This is different to most Web sites in which a Webmaster, an individual or corporation in charge of running the site, determines the content and style of each page on the site. With a wiki (e.g. Wikipedia), its content is interactive and the style supports it’s collaborative characteristics.

If you are not familiar with a wiki’s design of peer-to-peer sharing, you might have experience with some other user-generated and user-maintained sites. Two popular examples include eBay, a user-generated reputation system in which to buy and sell merchandise, and Craigslist, a location-specific online site featuring free classified ads and forums on various topics. These sites, including Wikipedia, are based on collaborative content sharing in which anyone can add to the site.
