'''WikiIndex:What is a Wiki''' — a [[wiki]] is a special type of website that allows all of its visitors to edit and expand its content and structure. Editing a wiki is far simpler than modifying a typical website. Doing so does not require the usual skills with [[HTML]] Editors, [[FTP]] and the like. Typically, it is just a matter of hitting the "edit" button on any page (even this one) which needs improving. Wikis are architected from the start for participation. | |||
