A '''pseudowiki''' is a website that calls itself a [[wiki]], or imitates a popular [[:Category:Skins|wiki skin]] (such as [[:Category:Vector|Vector]]), but is not actually a [[WhatIsWiki|wiki]].  Examples would be [[Ensis wiki]], which calls itself a wiki, and which may use a [[:Category:Private|private wiki]], and [[Wikimedia blog]] (WordPress).
