'A wiki is not a carefully crafted site created by experts and professional writers and designed for casual visitors.'Wiki promotes meaningful topic associations between different pages by making page link creation intuitively easy and showing whether an intended target page exists or not.'.'A wiki invites all users-not just experts-to edit any page or to create new pages within the wiki web site, using only a standard 'plain-vanilla' Web browser without any extra add-ons.'.In their book The Wiki Way: Quick Collaboration on the Web, Ward Cunningham and co-author Bo Leuf described the essence of the Wiki concept: Ward Cunningham, the developer of the first wiki software, WikiWikiWeb, originally described wiki as 'the simplest online database that could possibly work.' ' Wiki' (pronounced ) is a Hawaiian word meaning 'quick.' The English-language Wikipedia has the largest collection of articles: as of February 2020, it has over 6 million articles. In addition to Wikipedia, there are hundreds of thousands of other wikis in use, both public and private, including wikis functioning as knowledge management resources, note-taking tools, community websites, and intranets. Wikipedia is not a single wiki but rather a collection of hundreds of wikis, with each one pertaining to a specific language. 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 twenty since 2007. Other rules may be imposed to organize content. Others may permit access without enforcing access control. Some permit control over different functions (levels of access) for example, editing rights may permit changing, adding, or removing material. Some wiki engines are open-source, whereas others are proprietary. There are dozens of different wiki engines in use, both standalone and part of other software, such as bug tracking systems. Wiki engines usually allow content to be written using a simplified markup language and sometimes edited with the help of a rich-text editor. A wiki engine, being a form of a content management system, differs from other web-based systems such as 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. Wikis are enabled by wiki software, otherwise known as wiki engines. A typical wiki contains multiple pages for the subjects or scope of the project, and could be either open to the public or limited to use within an organization for maintaining its internal knowledge base.
