** About Wiki **
**Definition**

A Wiki is a web page (or a collection of web pages) that anyone can edit right in their browser. Some wikis even allow you to restrict who can edit, or who can even see certain pages. Most of us are familiar with the Wikipedia which is an online encyclopedia that anyone can edit, but you can also create and edit your own wikis.
