What Is a Wiki?

A wiki is a collaborative website or platform where multiple users can create and edit content.

A wiki is a collaborative website or platform where multiple users can create and edit content. Wikis are commonly used for internal documentation, knowledge bases, and team collaboration, where anyone can contribute and improve a page.

The strength of a wiki is shared ownership: documentation evolves continuously as the people closest to the work update it. The tradeoff is that wikis need light curation to stay organized and accurate.
