==[[:Category:Wikis]]==
A [[wiki]] is a website whose pages can be edited by any visitor. The first wiki, called [[WikiWikiWeb]], was created by [[Ward Cunningham]] in 1995. Wikis were brought to the attention of the general public by the success of [[Wikipedia]], an online collaborative encyclopedia created in 2001. This website presents numerous pages with information about wikis, organized into the following categories: 

*[[:Category:Wiki People]]
*[[:Category:Wiki Websites]]
*[[:Category:Wiki Engines]]
*[[:Category:Wiki Concepts]]

==Other Categories and Pages==
*'''[[:Category:This Site]]''' -- pages and sub-categories about this website

==Is this Website a [[Wiki]]?==
<font size="3">'''[[:Category:Wikis]]'''</font>

This website operates under [[MediaWiki]] software and thus has the potential to be a [[Wiki]]. However, when the wiki began to be spammed (see [[Spam Attack]]), the configuration was changed so that only [[WikiSysop]] can create new accounts. The site currently operates as the creation of a single person. But as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_A._Wiley David Wiley] says: "A wiki without contributors is nothing but a blog on steroids."
