This will be a narrative presentation of basic Wiki Concepts.

==What is a wiki==
The basic Wiki Concept is the idea of [[Wiki]] itself: a website where any visitor can edit pages.

==WikiModes and Editing==

[[WikiModes]] were introduced on the [[WikiWikiWeb]] page about [[WikiModes]], which says "this Wiki uses various modes of interaction and annotation," and lists them as: [[ThreadMode]], [[DocumentMode]], OpinionMode, DialecticMode, DialogMode, ListMode, FaqMode, PatternMode. Another mode, [[FileMode]] is listed as an [[AntiPattern]].

[[DocumentMode]] is when a Wiki contribution is written in the third person and left unsigned. 

[[Thread mode]] is a form of discussion where our community holds a conversation. 

[[Refactoring]] improves the structure of code without changing the functionality of the application. The term has also come to mean rearranging a wiki page to improve it's structure.

==Wiki Tags and EditHints==
*[[WikiBadge]]

An [[EditHint]] is a marker set to point out places where edits would be of benefit, such as to clarify the original intent or to apply a second opinion. EditHint is the general tag, and there are numerous specialized refactoring tags, such as [[RefactorMe]], [[AnswerMe]], [[DeleteMe]], [[DeleteWhenCooked]], [[DeleteThisPageSoon]], [[TooLargeToGrasp]], [[BrokenLink]], [[BrokenWhitespace]] and [[ToDo?]].
