=What in the World is a Wiki?=

A **wiki** is [|software] that allows users to collaboratively create, edit, [|link], and organize the content of a website, usually for reference material. Wikis are often used to create [|collaborative] [|websites] and to power community websites. These wiki websites are often also referred to as //wikis//; for example, [|Wikipedia] is one of the best known wikis. ([|Wikipedia, March, 2008])

Wiki Settings:

 * Open/Public**: Anyone on the Internet can add, change, create content on the wiki
 * Protected:** Must be invited to add, change, create content on the wiki but everyone can see the content
 * Private:** Only those invited can add, change, create content and can see the wiki.
