Wikis Wiki is Hawaiian for “quick”

So a wiki is a “quick-web” Started by Ward Cunningham, circa 1998 Wiki pages are living documents

Any user can… Add new content Edit existing content Rollback current content to a previous update

Links automatically assigned Wikis enforce a set of rules that automatically associate

typed text to destinations within the wiki containing content descriptions

Wikis do carry a security concern, in letting anyone update
