Wikis

**Wikis**
A **wiki** (sometimes **wiki wiki**) is a piece of [|software] that allows multiple authors to edit [|web page] content. [|Ward Cunningham] originally described a wiki as "the simplest online database that could possibly work".

[|Wikipedia] is an encyclopedia created and maintained by the masses. But of course you knew that, didn't you? No matter how you feel about it, wikipedia is a great site, if only for the external links you can find in it. It's true that sites are valuable not only for their own content but for the links they provide.
