what is a wiki?
A wiki is a collection of web pages which multiple people can edit. Each change to a page is recorded so that you can collaborate with any or all members of the wiki. If you make a mistake while editing a page or someone deletes information from a page, you can always revert the page to a previous version. You can watch a video about wikis at [|Common Craft].
