__What is a wiki?__

 * A **wiki** is a type of website that allows users easily to add, remove, or otherwise edit and change most available content.
 * A single page in a **wiki** is referred to as a "wiki page", while the entire body of pages, which are usually highly interconnected via hyperlinks, is "the wiki"; in effect, a wiki is actually a very simple, easy-to-use user-maintained database for searching and creating information.
