| − | + | 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 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 the use of [[DocumentMode]] rather [[ThreadMode]], in other words [[DissertationFavoredOverDialog]]. Each page was to begin with an [[OpeningStatement]], and visitors were encouraged to edit pages in the role of an anonymous [[WikiAuthor]]. |
| + | One form of editing is [[ReFactoring]], which is a programming term which has come to mean rearranging a wiki page to improve it's structure. | ||
