A wiki is a website that allows users to collaboratively create and edit web page content directly from a web browser. Wikis support hyperlinks and use a simple text syntax. Ward Cunningham invented the first wiki in 1993 to create a collaborative composition system. Wikis are fully editable, accessible without software, and encourage a sense of responsibility and ownership among contributors. The main principles of wikis are that they are open, incremental, organic, mundane, universal, observable, and unified/tolerant. Wikis have applications for office software, project management, point-of-sale systems, and more. They provide easy access and viewing of others' work but also have limitations like simultaneous editing and interface issues.
