A wiki is a website that uses wiki software, allowing the easy creation and editing of any number of interlinked Web pages, using a simplified markup language or a WYSIWYG text editor, within the browser. Wikis are often used to create collaborative websites, to power community websites, and for note taking. The collaborative encyclopedia Wikipedia is one of the best-known wikis. Wikis are used in business to provide intranet and knowledge management systems. Ward Cunningham, the developer of the first wiki software, WikiWikiWeb, originally described it as "the simplest online database that could possibly work." "Wiki" (English pronunciation: /wiːkiː/) is a Hawaiian word for "fast". "Wiki" can be expanded as "What I Know Is," but this is a backronym. From Wikipedia under the

Q. I just installed MediaWiki on one of my computers to create a database. I will not be uploading it online, but just need it for personal use. How do I make it only editable by one user? And, how can I password protect the wiki to make it private? Asked by M - Wed May 23 19:46:26 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. You need a web server first, I suggest searching for one in Download.com and when you are done, host it on your web server. To visit it and edit (you must already have it on a web server), you visit this - or whatever kind of file type/name you have. For the password, just get a web server with password protection so if they visit your IP address, they need a password to enter.

Anyone ever thought that it would be helpful to collaborate on health related issues - share health information about health conditions and staying healthy in a collaborative environment - a kind of wiki for health. I think it would be a great idea but what kind of hardware/software platform would be ideal for this? Asked by SmoothOperator - Thu Apr 20 22:41:07 2006 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. I say you can never have too many health sites for different inputs for questions. Go to web building site and BUILD-most are easy! then put your site in a search engine like Yahoo or Goggle.

Q. I have installed a wiki on my site, but i (admin) want to be the only one who can edit the main page...while allowing the rest of the wiki to be edited...please help, any ideas? Asked by WillisStevens - Fri Jul 18 12:04:24 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. The best way to handle that is to move the wiki into its own directory and create a static html page that links into the wiki. Unfortunately its not possible to prevent people from editing just one page in Mediawiki. Answered by Elpie - Fri Jul 18 12:18:10 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Wiki"
