    A wiki (/ˈwɪki/ (listen) WIK-ee) is an online hypertext publication collaboratively

    edited and managed by its own audience, using a web browser. A typical wiki
    contains multiple pages for the subjects or scope of the project, and could be
    either open to the public or limited to use within an organization for maintaining
    its internal knowledge base.

    Wikis are enabled by wiki software, otherwise known as wiki engines. A wiki engine,
    being a form of a content management system, differs from other web-based systems
    such as blog software, in that the content is created without any defined owner or
    leader, and wikis have little inherent structure, allowing structure to emerge
    according to the needs of the users.[1] Wiki engines usually allow content to be
    written using a simplified markup language and sometimes edited with the help of a
    rich-text editor.[2] There are dozens of different wiki engines in use, both
    standalone and part of other software, such as bug tracking systems. Some wiki
    engines are open-source, whereas others are proprietary. Some permit control over
    different functions (levels of access); for example, editing rights may permit
    changing, adding, or removing material. Others may permit access without enforcing
    access control. Other rules may be imposed to organize content.

    The online encyclopedia project, Wikipedia, is the most popular wiki-based website,
    and is one of the most widely viewed sites in the world, having been ranked in the
    top twenty since 2007.[3] Wikipedia is not a single wiki but rather a collection of
    hundreds of wikis, with each one pertaining to a specific language. In addition to
    Wikipedia, there are hundreds of thousands of other wikis in use, both public and
    private, including wikis functioning as knowledge management resources, note-taking
    tools, community websites, and intranets. The English-language Wikipedia has the
    largest collection of articles: as of February 2020, it has over 6 million
    articles. Ward Cunningham, the developer of the first wiki software, WikiWikiWeb,
    originally described wiki as "the simplest online database that could possibly
    work."[4] "Wiki" (pronounced [wiki][note 1]) is a Hawaiian word meaning "quick."[5]
