__NOTOC__ The following is a narrative presentation of basic Wiki Concepts. ==Basic Wiki Concepts== A [[Wiki]] is a website where any visitor can edit pages. The first Wiki was [[Ward Cunningham]]'s website [[WikiWikiWeb]]. Wikis were first brought to public attention by the collaborative on-line encyclopedia [[Wikipedia]]. ==WikiModes and Editing== [[WikiModes]] were first defined on the [[WikiWikiWeb]] as "modes of interaction and annotation" on the wiki. 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 the wiki community holds a conversation. Ward Cunningham advocated use of [[DocumentMode]] in preference to [[ThreadMode]] [[DissertationFavoredOverDialog]] Visitors were thus encouraged to edit pages. [[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. *[[ThreadMess]] *[[WikiMaster]] *[[RecentChanges]] ==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]]. *[[OnTopic]] *[[OffTopic]] ==Wiki Users== *[[RealNamesPlease]] *[[WikiCommunity]] ==Wiki Welcome and Help== *[[OneMinuteWiki]] *[[RoadMaps]] ==Interwiki== *[[InterWiki]] *[[TourBus]] *[[OneBigWiki]] *[[OneBigSoup]] *[[NearLink]] ==WikiPhilosophy== *[[WikiOnWiki]] *[[WikiNode]] ==WikiHistory== *XpFreeZone *[[WikiMindWipe]] *[[WikiReductionists]] ==Other== *[[AntiPattern]] *[[SocialSoftware]] *[[WikiSpam]] *[[Wikilandia]] [[Category:Wiki Concepts]]
