What is a wiki?

Version 2.2 by Silvia Macovei on 2010/02/24

A wiki is a website that you can edit online easily. 

Whenever you want to modify a page, click on the "edit" button, make your changes and save the page. The modified page now replaces the previous version. This makes it easy to update the website and have people contribute content. Each version of the page is stored in the page history and can be reverted to if needed.

On top of this basic feature set, most wikis include additional features such as access rights management and notifications.

The core advantage of a wiki compared with traditional Content Management Systems and ECM lies in its flexibility and the ease with which new pages can be added and linked to.
