Wiki

A wiki is a powerful, collaborative tool that allows user to add and edit content. User can also crate a new page about a new content. Sometimes, you can introduce permission to lock a page.

This website is powered by a wiki. If you want, you can modify this page, changing words or sentences. All modification are stored and you can always undo all the modifications.

Writing content on a wiki is very simple, user has to learn a small syntax (for mediawiki: Guidelines:How_to_edit_a_page) to personnalize and to structure the content. Each wiki has a non-conventional interface, so at the beginning the user could have some difficulties to adapt himself to the soft.
