WIKI

(THE FREE ENCYCLOPEDIA)

 History

Wiki was the first wiki. Ward Cunningham

started developing WikiWikiWeb in Portland,
Oregon, in 1994, and installed it on the
Internet domain c2.com on March 25, 1995.
 Wiki is the piece of server software that allows
users to freely create and edit Web page
content using any web browser.
 Wiki supports hyperlinks and hyperlinks and
has a simple text syntax for creating new
pages and crosslinks between internal pages
on the fly
 A wiki is run using wiki software, otherwise
known as a wiki engine.

 A wiki engine is a type of content

management system, but it differs from
most other such systems, including blog
software, in that the content is created
without any defined owner or leader, and
wikis have little inherent structure, allowing
structure to emerge according to the needs
of the users
 The online encyclopedia project Wikipedia is
the most popular wiki-based website, and is
one of the most widely viewed sites in the
world, having been ranked in the top ten since
2007.[3
 "Wiki“is a Hawaiian word meaning "quick
 CONSISTENCY
Wikis have favoured plain-text editing, with fewer
and simpler conventions than HTML, for indicating
style and structure. Although limiting access to
HTML and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) of wikis
limits user ability to alter the structure and
formatting of wiki content, there are some
benefits.

Limited access to CSS promotes consistency in

the look and feel, and having JavaScript disabled
prevents a user from implementing code that may
limit other users' access.
