Important concepts:
A wiki is an open, community managed space in which knowledge is created, improved and managed. Although it is possible to have a private space, a wiki page (or sometimes called 'article') is a public space that any community member can view. In our wiki, any community member with an account can add new pages and edit existing pages. The entire revision history of a page is visible to all community members.

Wiki Organization
Pages are also called 'Article'. They are the same. A page contains content that others can read and edit.
A wiki is very unlinear while allowing for multiple methods of organizing content. The power of the wiki comes when pages are linked into other pages via multiply entry points. There are also 'Categories' allowing for the sorting of pages. When a wiki uses advanced tools for organization and searching content, we call it a 'Semantic Wiki' [1].
