    In their 2001 book The Wiki Way: Quick Collaboration on the Web, Ward Cunningham and co-

    author Bo Leuf described the essence of the Wiki concept:[9][10]

    “A wiki invites all users—not just experts—to edit any page or to create new pages within the
    wiki web site, using only a standard ‘plain-vanilla’ Web browser without any extra add-ons.”
    “Wiki promotes meaningful topic associations between different pages by making page link
    creation intuitively easy and showing whether an intended target page exists or not.”
    “A wiki is not a carefully crafted site created by experts and professional writers and designed
    for casual visitors. Instead, it seeks to involve the typical visitor/user in an ongoing process of
    creation and collaboration that constantly changes the website landscape.”

    A wiki enables communities of editors and contributors to write documents collaboratively. All
    that people require to contribute is a computer, Internet access, a web browser, and a basic
    understanding of a simple markup language (e.g. MediaWiki markup language). A single page in
    a wiki website is referred to as a “wiki page”, while the entire collection of pages, which are
    usually well-interconnected by hyperlinks, is "the wiki". A wiki is essentially a database for
    creating, browsing, and searching through information. A wiki allows non-linear, evolving,
    complex, and networked text, while also allowing for editor argument, debate, and interaction
    regarding the content and formatting.[11] A defining characteristic of wiki technology is the ease
    with which pages can be created and updated. Generally, there is no review by a moderator or
    gatekeeper before modifications are accepted and thus lead to changes on the website. Many
    wikis are open to alteration by the general public without requiring registration of user accounts.
    Many edits can be made in real-time and appear almost instantly online, but this feature
    facilitates abuse of the system. Private wiki servers require user authentication to edit pages, and
    sometimes even to read them. Maged N. Kamel Boulos, Cito Maramba, and Steve Wheeler write
    that the open wikis produce a process of Social Darwinism. “… because of the openness and
    rapidity that wiki pages can be edited, the pages undergo an evolutionary selection process, not
    unlike that which nature subjects to living organisms. ‘Unfit’ sentences and sections are
    ruthlessly culled, edited and replaced if they are not considered ‘fit’, which hopefully results in
    the evolution of a higher quality and more relevant page.”[12]
