__NOTOC__ <font size="5">'''Wikis Database'''</font> This website is a database about people, projects, concepts and websites in the world of [[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. The present website presents information about wikis, organised into the categories shown below. For the structure of the site, see the '''[[Main Categories]]''' or go to '''[[:Category:Root]]'''. ==[[:Category:Wiki People]]== People who played a role in the history of wikis or who are currently active in the development or maintenance of wiki websites or software. For an overview, see the [[Wiki People Narrative]]. ==[[:Category:Wiki Websites]]== Significant wiki websites. For an overview, see the [[Wiki Websites Narrative]]. ==[[:Category:Wiki Engines]]== Wiki engines are the software packages used to run wikis. For an overview, see the [[Wiki Engines Narrative]]. ==[[:Category:Wiki Concepts]]== The users of wikis have developed a range of specific terms and concepts related to the structure, functions and utilisation of wikis. For an overview, see the [[Wiki Concepts Narrative]]. ==About this Website== This website is a work in progress, and some sections are more complete than others. For suggestions about pages to browse, see [[Road Maps]]. For more information about the site itself, see [[About this Site]]. This website operates under [[MediaWiki]] software and thus has the potential to be a [[Wiki]]. However, when the website 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."
