This Personal wiki article is
referring to a site which seems
not to be, or include, a wiki.
However, it still refers to, or is
pertinent to the subject of wikis.

A personal wiki is a wiki site maintained primarily for personal use. Personal wikis allow people to organize information on their desktop or mobile computing devices in a manner similar to community wikis, but without the need for collaboration by multiple users.

Personal wiki software can be broadly divided into multi-user wiki software with personal editions, and those wiki applications that are designed only for single users, not depending on a database engine and a web server.[1]

Some personal wikis are public but password-protected, running either on their own web-servers or hosted by third parties. This has the advantage that the personal space can be accessed and edited from any computer or PDA with a web browser.[2]
