What is a Wiki?

Wikis are often used to create collaborative websites and to power community websites. For example, the collaborative encyclopedia Wikipedia is one of the best-known wikis. Wikis are used in businesses and organizations to provide affordable and effective intranets and for Knowledge Management. A wiki is a collection of web pages designed to enable anyone who accesses it to contribute or modify content, using a simplified markup language.
