According to Wikipedia, the world's largest wiki:
A wiki is a medium which can be edited by anyone with access to it, and provides an easy method for linking from one page to another. Wikis are typically collaborative websites, though there are now also single-user offline implementations. Ward Cunningham, developer of the first wiki, WikiWikiWeb, originally described it as "the simplest online database that could possibly work".
Or alternatively www.wiki.org describe a wiki:
Wiki is in Ward's original description: The simplest online database that could possibly work. Wiki is a piece of server software that allows users to freely create and edit Web page content using any Web browser. Wiki supports hyperlinks and has a simple text syntax for creating new pages and crosslinks between internal pages on the fly.
How is a Wiki different from other web sites?
When using any of the wiki systems you don't have to worry about technical details like HTML language, how to edit pages, how to create a forum for your community etc. The wiki engine (in this case Wikidot.com) takes care of all these things allowing you to concentrate on creating content.
On each page (where you have permissions to) you can find an edit button - click it and you can edit content of the page! That's it! There's an easy to learn syntax that Wikidot converts into valid XHTML pages which can be understood by all the main browsers. Simply click edit, make your change, click save and your changes are published within seconds.
And that is it! As a part of Wikidot.com network this site is a customizable piece of the Internet where users can edit content, upload files, communicate and collaborate.
