View source for Wiki Concepts Narrative

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==
Several different modes of interaction and annotation are listed on the [[WikiWikiWeb]] page about [[WikiModes]]. The principal modes are [[DocumentMode]], which is when a Wiki contribution is written in the third person and left unsigned, and [[ThreadMode]], which 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]]
*[[WikiTag]]
*[[WikiSquatting]]

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]].
