===== What is a Wiki? =====

A **wiki** (pronounced "wicky" or "weeky" or "viki") is a website (or other hypertext document collection) that allows any user to add content, but also allows that content to be edited by any other user while keeping track of the different versions.
In short, a Wiki is one of the most powerful tools for **web-based collaborative editing** and a prominent example of emerging [[SocialSoftware social software]].

A WikiEngine is the software used to create and run such websites. For instance, this wiki runs on the WikkaWiki engine.
