:"'''''A wiki''' is a medium which can be edited by anyone with access to it, and provides an easy method for linking from one page to another way.''"
I think there is a big contradiction here. The page saying what is wiki says that everyone can edit it, but the page itself is uneditable.

== Client-side Wiki ==

In the Architecture section client-side wikis are mentioned using javascript. Is this referring to personal wikis?
And are we sure the javascript part is correct? IMHO client-side functionality can be implemented with or without js as well. The section seems to say that client-side wikis in general are implemented using javascript, which (again, imho) is wrong. [[User:Zsomboro|Zsomboro]]

== Guerilla merge ==

Merge [[guerilla wiki]] here as proposed by [[User:16@r]] on 30 October 2007.  
:'''Support''' -- I feel this article would benefit from a section '''sexy beast in the corporate setting''' and the material on peanut wikis would fit well as a subsection.  I've set up several wikis myself for small organizations, and there a number of issues that recurrently come up in that context concerning privacy, release of sensitive information, and liability.  Note that I am supporting a merge if that is the direction this takes, and not the preservation of the present content of the [[guerilla wiki]] page, which is a separate matter. [[User:MaxEnt|MaxEnt]] ([[User talk:MaxEnt|talk]]) 10:03, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

:'''Support''' I think it should be a subsection, guerilla wiki is a stub article as it is anyway, and it is within the category of a wiki. ([[User:Fiv5katz|Fiv5katz]] ([[User talk:Fiv5katz|talk]]) 01:26, 20 November 2007 (UTC))
:<s>'''Support''' Contains neither sufficient content nor the potential for sufficient content to justify it's own article.  Not to mention it may be argued to be a [[WP:NEO|Neologism]] -[[User:Verdatum|Verdatum]] ([[User talk:Verdatum|talk]]) 18:48, 26 November 2007 (UTC)</s>
:'''Delete''' I looked into a good way to merge the info, and it just feels like such a [[WP:NEO|neologism]] that I don't see any good place to put it.  Nor is the information particularly worthy of it's own section.  A Google search shows the only time the term comes up is in relation to the Wikipedia article itself, tiddlywiki, or used in other contexts entirely (e.g. Exploiting Wikipedia to start grassroots campaigns).  Without reference to a reputable authority on wikis using the term, I don't see any reason to include it. -[[User:Verdatum|Verdatum]] 15:37, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

== Spirit of the wiki or spirit of wiki - why is it not in Wikipedia? ==

I've heard the term "spirit of the wiki" and "spirit of wiki" thrown around alot, but Wikipedia doesn't seem to define or describe it. This seems like a vast oversight. Why hasn't anyone done this?

== Re: "Definitely not a software engine by that entry's definition." ==

[[Software engine]] says, "A software engine is a computer program that outputs source code or markup code that simultaneously becomes the input to another computer process." Now, in your browser do <View><Page Source> (or something similar). Notice that this Wiki transmitted HTML (markup code) and Javascript (source code) to your browser (another computer process) that was simultaneously executed. [[User:Timhowardriley|Timhowardriley]] ([[User talk:Timhowardriley|talk]]) 20:45, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm afraid i muddied things by not reading the entire software engine entry, and then writing, "by that entry's definition". By that definition, most wikis are software engines. But the important thing here is that the term software engine is more likely to confuse then educate readers. In any case, there are many perfectly good wikis that are not software engines - e.g.,  [[WikidPad]], VoodooPad, etc. --[[User:John Abbe|John_Abbe]] ([[User talk:John Abbe|talk]]) 11:20, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

:It's hard for me to imagine how using a term that is more specific can be more likely to confuse than using a term that is more general. In any case, of course, if some wikis are not software engines then the more general term should be used.

[[User:Tpbradbury|Tom]] ([[User talk:Tpbradbury|talk]]) 14:52, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

:A large number of hits may stem from the fact that if you do a Google search for wiki (as a short search term that will obviously have wikipedia as the top hit) this page is the first web-page listed. A lot of people, particularly those that are not to savvy about the internet will use search engines every time they want to go to their favorite sites rather than bookmarking them (simply because they haven't learnt how to) or just typing in the address.

== Edit conflict resolution ==

I came to this page looking for info on how Wiki's handle "simultaneous" updates.  I couldn't find it, so hoped to see it in a FAQ.  No FAQ!  I subsequently found the answer, under Edit Conflict Resolution, by looking into Ward Cunningham's web site (no locks - didn't think there could be - just first Save wins, 2nd gets notified (by automatic diff?)).  But sure this question must occur to many people interested in understanding Wiki's.  Could such a section be added? [[User:Edetic|Edetic]] ([[User talk:Edetic|talk]]) 22:05, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
:Unfortunately, this is a per-implimentation design consideration.  Conflict resolution can take place in a number of different ways on various wiki implimentations.

== Define wiki ==

The current opening line is: "A wiki is a collaborative website which can be directly edited by anyone with access to it." I had changed it to: "A wiki is a type of website that can be collaboratively written, distinguished by a unique hyperlink system called wiki links." but it was reverted by Rambutan saying "Not necessarily: that's just Wikipedia." I disagree.

Wiki links are key to what makes a wiki - why do you think Ward Cunngham called it the "simplest type of database that could possibly work"? Databases are about linking information. I don't know of any wiki software that doesn't have wiki links - which are a form of hypertext slightly more advanced than the hyperlink. 
Open access of the wiki to lots of people is a cultural thing, and a type of wiki - not a defining characteristic ie, personal wiki's. Wiki links are key. Arguably, versioning is another distinguishing feature.

I think it also it would read better to phrase the opening line as "A wiki is a type of website that can be collaboratively written..." because this makes it more comparable to other definitions ie, blogs are a type of website as well.   [[User:Eliasbizannes|Elias]] 11:58, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

*I like it the way it is. I took it from Wiktionary as it is concise, unambigious and easier to read and understand than what went before it. Who says databases are about linking information? They are about relationships between information and linking is just one form of relationship. Just because all wikis have links doesn't mean that that is a defining feature. The defining features (in my opinion) are ''collaboration'' and ''open access''. Sorry if this sounds like a rant, its not. Please get back as I want to help tidy this article and we need to, yeah you got it, collaborate. --[[User:Kylemew|Kylemew]] 18:15, 14 July 2007 (UTC) 
*"'''can be''' collaboratively written" or "'''is''' collaboratively written"?
That's cool. Given the poor state this article in, I think it would merit we actualy clearly define what a wiki is because to me it doesn't seem clear. Once I know there is some consensus, I will be more than happy to add more content and fix it up. Just as background, I have spent the last six months implementing wiki's amongst other technologies as a new form of collaboration as my firm (revenue 1  billion plus). I have a lot of experience with wiki's (and collaboration for that matter), and so I just want to establish that my views are so because I have already spent a lot of time thinking about them, and spent a lot of time trying to explain it to people. I've had some big chats with a wiki guru called Stewart Mader who I am sure would be happy to have his say on the issue as well if this discussion merits it. I feel saying a wiki is defined due to its "collaboration" and "open access", in my eyes, does not do it justice.
My thoughts on a wiki is that as a technology, they are nothing too special as they are more of a social revolution occuring rather than a major technological change. Therefore I think it is important to recognise these two different facets of a wiki - the cultural side, as well the technological. 

What differentiates a wiki with its technology is:

1) versioning. I take it you agree that the way pages are versioned is fairly unique to wiki technology?

2) Wiki links. Wiki links are very different from normal hyperlinks, and are closer to the true form of hypertext. Tim Berner's Lee when he created the web invented hyperlinks as a stripped down version of the original hypertext invention. The inventor of wiki's was inspired by the hypertext systems of the 1980s, and with the above quote about it being a database, highlights wiki links are key to what makes a wiki a wiki.

Across all wiki platforms, you will find they are the only consistent things amongst wikis and what make them different from other technologies.

Culturally, what defines a wiki is how there is not one editor but many. This open editing philosophy which without having to say it, implies collaborative editing as you state it - is embodied by the edit button.

By your definition, you are saying that unless more than two people can edit it, it is therefore not a wiki? Whilst the collaboration aspect of a wiki is powerful, and the fact it generates a community of users around the content, that's not what makes it a wiki because arguably a group blog could be the same thing you describe. It's the 'open editing' rights that makes this type of collaboration different from other technolgy tools. As in it's not collaboration that differentiates a wiki, but collaboratively authoring.

I am writing with the interests of the article, so I don't mean to offend anyone. I hope others can offer their views [[User:Eliasbizannes|Elias]] 11:47, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
<small><small>Small Text</small></small>

*No offence taken - can't see why you thought there would be. I understand that ''open-editing'' implies ''collaboration'' but thought that this would require definition too and I wanted to keep it concise. There's more to this than meets the eye isn't there? I guess we should begin with '''versioning''', '''wiki-linking''' and '''open-editing/cultural revolution''' as the core concepts and build from there, no? Thanks man --[[User:Kylemew|Kylemew]] 15:53, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
**Found this simple comment in an well-recognised analyst report which differentiates blogs with wikis. "Essentially, blogs represent an author-centric view that is communication-orientated (e.g., posts and comments) whereas wikis represent a content-centric view that is collaboration-oriented (e.g., versioned pages). ''Blog Technology Within The Enterprise - Burton Group analysis July 2007''. I think defining a wiki, just like a blog,you are wrong you can't just do so on the technology as it is largely a social phenonmenon. So in that context, I agree our definition should incorporate the collaboration features (via open editing), in addition to versioning and wiki links. [[User:Eliasbizannes|Elias]] 04:54, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
Maybe we should describe what wikis are, not what they started off as or what they should be. There are many wikis out there that do not allow open editing. I agree that group editing is a key capability of wiki software. Perhaps we need to be clear what we are describing wiki software or wiki sites.Mark 07:18, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

The concept of blogs as being author-centric and wikis article-centric is very interesting. I think, but am often wrong, that article-centricity is very important when the contributors and users of the wiki are the same people, such as when it is being used to develop a computer programme or scientific priniciple. However wikis have developed beyond this. Wikipedia for example has many more readers than users. Perhaps its time for wikis such as wikipedia to become reader-centric otherwise they run the risk of becoming repositories of inaccessible information. Perhaps we should be thinking of constructing wiki pages in the way we construct other web pages. Remembering that any web or wiki page is unlikely to be read from start to finish we need to follow simple website conventions such as: clear above the fold introduction to what is on the page , meaningful section titles, etc. If we stay article-centric we may make it harder for readers to find the information they need. For example the logical construction for an article is starting with the history of an item and then progressing to current use, leaving what most readers want to know until last. Turned into a bit of a rant didnt it - but I like this sort of discussion. Mark 21:38, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

*Yeah man, but you're right, are we describing the software or the sites? Its an encyclopedia not a dictionary, so I guess there's scope for both. Another angle is ''"how it works" ie the technology'' and ''"what it does" ie the sites'' and I don't think any definition would be complete without mention of the social significance (if there is any: I meet dozens of people who have no idea how wikis are put together). Do we need to break it down further? Readers do not use the sites in the same way we do. I don't know. Cheers. --[[User:Kylemew|Kylemew]] 12:45, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

This article seems to mix up two different things - the software and attributes of that software that makes Wikis possible and people's ''views'' on how a wiki should operate or the philosophy it represents. A wiki closed to 100 people on a intranet is still (to my mind a wiki) - the fact that the social group is closed is irrelevant - otherwise Citizenpidum (sp) would not be a wiki and it clearly is. --[[User:Fredrick day|Fredrick day]] 17:06, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
== Context and Evolution ==

What seems to be missing from this article is putting wiki's into some sort of framework or context, comparing them to alternate approaches to textual content creation and maintenance, wiki's strengths & weaknesses, emerging trends and future directions.

Of course one thing that is mentioned is the collaboration potential of wikis.  Is inherent collaboration a must have feature of a wiki, one which clearly differentiates it from other types of CMS?  What other characteristics?  What about consensus building systems? Educational potential?  Censorship and political neutrality?  What role does the administration and editorial panels have to play to prevent corruption and how much effort is required?  What factors determine how much effort is required to sustain clean wikis? Have collaborative wikis already reached an equilibrium against the forces of politics, wiki-wars, corruption, anarchy, vandalism and ignorance?

As an avid wiki user, its apparent there is a tension in the structuring of articles, stubs vs bloat, the layering of details, how to move content material up and down a hierarchy. This issue is not unique to wikis of course, its something many authors face.  What breakthoughs and experiments are finally underway to try and grapple with this age-old problem, especially now that rich client browser technology is now the norm, and new technologies such as HTML5/CSS3 are emerging quickly.  What about impact of small touch screen mobile devices, how can content creation be done which inherently works across all client platforms and the hierarchy of information presentation is dynamic, controlled by the device and user, almost like a slider which can show more or less details in articles?  What structural support is/will be available to authors and editors?  What hierarchical or multi-layer architectural advances are being made in wikis for instance to deeply structure content and separate content from presentation?

== Suggestion: reducing clutter through list-defined references ==

Regarding [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wiki&action=history]. Per [[Wikipedia:Citing_sources#Avoiding_clutter]]: "Inline references can significantly bloat the wikitext in the edit window and can be extremely difficult and confusing. There are three methods that avoid clutter in the edit window: [[WP:LDR|list-defined references]], short citations or parenthetical references. (As with other citation formats, articles should not undergo large scale conversion between formats without consensus to do so.)" I'd like to introduce list-defined references to this article, to make it more friendly to edit (less code -> closer to WYSWIWYG). Per the request of editor who reverted me and [[WP:CITEVAR]] recommendation I'd like to ask editors interested in this article for input which style they prefer, and strongly suggest following the "avoid clutter" recommendation. While LDR add a little code to the total size of the article, it amounts to only 10% or so of the total article size, so load time should not be significantly affected (nobody should notice a 10% change; also, section edit load time will shorter anyway...), and editing experience should become much friendlier. --<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">[[User:Piotrus|Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus]]&#124;[[User talk:Piotrus|<span style="color:#7CFC00;background:#006400;"> reply here</span>]]</sub> 06:18, 17 November 2012 (UTC)

:Just have to say "List-defined reference" are the worst format we have here.  Content editors have constantly voted to eliminate this format altogether. Best to make the article user friendly. None will follow the LDR when updating pages - thus were  you find LDR style you will always see the normal format mixed in. Just look at [[Michael Jackson]]. All it does is cause work for us [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Avril_Lavigne&diff=522608787&oldid=522366248 as seen here at Avril Lavigne] someone will have to come along and fix the new refs to match the LDR format - in the case of Avril Lavigne I have seen editors revert referenced material just because it was the wrong ref format. LDR's is nothing but a problem - noting user friendly about having to edit 2 sections to add one statement.   [[User:Moxy|Moxy]] ([[User talk:Moxy|talk]]) 22:23, 17 November 2012 (UTC)

== Criticisms? ==

Is this article really neutral? I, for one, am sure that to sentences like:

''Maged N. Kamel Boulos, Cito Maramba and Steve Wheeler write that the open wikis produce a process of Social Darwinism.

== new policy to reduce confusion over 'talk' ==

is this a suitable place for discussion of wiki policy?

"article talk" pages and "user talk" pages can be confusing to the newbie, especially when the same notation "talk" is used in wiki scripts for the two very different link routes (user talk vs article talk).

to alleviate this problem, it might be useful to default "talk" to the article, and to add a category of "utalk" for "user talk".

so that 

* (cur | prev) 03:32, 2 June 2013‎ EdwinAmi (talk | contribs)‎ . . (14,148 bytes) (+73)‎ . . (undo)

would become 

* (cur | prev) 03:32, 2 June 2013‎ EdwinAmi (utalk | contribs)‎ . . (14,148 bytes) (+73)‎ . . (undo)

while the reference to

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wiki

would remain "talk".  

in this way, "utalk" would become very distinguishable from (article) "talk".<span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/66.185.212.81|66.185.212.81]] ([[User talk:66.185.212.81|talk]]) 12:35, 30 August 2013 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Trademark of word 'wiki' in Chinese language ==

This issues was raised on this talk page back in 2008 by [[user:Jpatokal]], at [[Talk:Wiki/Archive 2#Trademark for Chinese word for "Wiki"]], but it was more of a question following up from [[meta:Talk:Wikimedia trademarks#Wikimedia Foundation trademarking 維基, the Chinese word for "wiki"?]].

[[:zh:維基]] and [[zh-yue:維基]] are both separate articles about the trademarked term, with [[zh:Wiki]] and [[zh-yue:Wiki]] being about the concept.  The Chinese language articles about the trademark use http://tech.sina.com.cn/i/2009-09-15/13523439436.shtml ([http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Ftech.sina.com.cn%2Fi%2F2009-09-15%2F13523439436.shtml google translate]) as a reference.  While I do believe this should be covered in English Wikipedia, I'm not sure that this warrants a separate article, as I havent found a great deal of information about this trademark, but my Chinese language search skills leave a lot to be desired.  Perhaps others can help find more sources.

I just visited this page for the first time, and the picture of Ward Cunningham struck me as a little odd.

== Video of Ward Cunningham has Subtitles that are Inaccurate and Misleading ==

Greetings.
Although I could find little to indicate any current momentum to improve this page,  I am nonetheless, motivated to ask if any Wiki regulars have watched and read the Ward Cunningham video which is embedded at the top right of the page.
Perhaps after donating money, I feel a bit more "protective" of Wikipedia's reputation. While the project needs no gallants to protect its virtues, its credibility is another challenge altogether.
Specifically, the subtitles to the video of Ward Cunningham, titled "Interview with Ward Cunningham, inventor of the wiki" are an inaccurate match of spoken words to written words not just in the ''many'' irritating misspellings (usually of homophones), but in the meaning of his words. Twice the subtitles contradict what he is saying about the creation of his first wiki. One of these occurs when he talks about creating a " new collaborative text program" and the subtitles state he was creating a "new tax program". The obvious oral/written disconnects such as when he says, "I tried to write", the subtitles read, "I tried to right" are the type of "folksy" mistakes that we tend to overlook when watching  our neighbor's home videos. Criticizing would seem churlish since in those videos the visuals are the main focus and the printed words are usually of secondary importance. (Also criticism of this type might actually impel the neighbor to edit those videos and show them ''again'' to demonstrate how our feedback had been integrated.)
But in this video both oral and written presentations seem like they ought to be discussing the same ideas by using the same words? Or am I being too picky?
He talks about the origins of the word, "wiki", saying "I used a Hawaiian word" and we see the photograph of a Hawaiian 'WIKI WIKI' shuttle. But the subtitles read" I decided to use a "wine word". Really?  As in, "I find this Chardonnay to be crisp, with intonations of pears, hints of grass leaving a truly resplendent wiki on the palette." I'll take the Merlot, thanks.

This is not even to mention that the video itself needs to redirect to "Surrealism". Because it ''is'' surreal when Mr. Cunningham (around 9:33) discussing the merits of collaborative projects says "... because you know some of it, he knows some of it..." and the text is displaying "...like pi or John Sullivan all around us". Have videos ever been vandalized on WP before now?

Ironically, one of the most basic elements of a wiki, the ability to immediately correct an error is denied to us on the page describing this very element. I could only sit slack-jawed at what I was reading but unable to correct any of the mistakes.
And they just keep coming. Try a sampling: 2:57, 3:02, 3:48, 3:56, 4:13.
Many people with adequate hearing read subtitles. We can't shake our collective head and say that the hearing-challenged will be the only ones who get a stilted, sometimes nonsensical, and almost always inaccurate rendition of Mr. Cunningham's remarks.

The fact that no one has mentioned any of these errors, the fact the video is never mentioned in the archived notes, as far as I can determine, leads me to believe I am overlooking an important decision by the videographer, the transcriber, Mr. Cunningham and the Editors advising those of us who just happened upon the video, that there is a reason of all this. A statement to assuage people like me (who had a sinking feeling while watching the video that if this is as good as Wikipedia can do, then I do want a wine word to go with my pi. I do want John Sullivan to change the tax plan). A reassurance that the dysfunctional subtitles are meant for something more than a merely inept rendition of a man's words. Perhaps a written way to acknowledge the importance of Vox Pop You Lie, a peace offering to those resentful of literacy, "See we can be just as imprecise and out-of-touch as you. Welcome brother."

Obviously my first written contribution has already violated a number of "Talk" section guidelines and the helpful suggestions for the beginner. Brevity certainly died a quick death. Specific errors are not enumerated adequately, nor anywhere near completely. I am far from neutral about what I see as a problem and I have no way to offer help since I can edit subtitles, but not on an embedded video. I feel tempted to delete this entire entry.
But these errors I've committed, particularly in going on this long are indicative of the feelings I have. It is embarrassing to watch the video knowing how many people land on this page daily. It is the first-listed on Google and Bing when querying "Wiki" but look what else redirects here as well.
Even "Happy Days".
I can't imagine how Mrs. Cunningham must feel. Not to mention Ward's wife if he's married.
So I apologize for my long-windedness. Sort of.  I would like to help fix these errors because that's whats important here, but I don't know how. If this has all been hashed out and resolved, I can only say I tried to find the pages where the problem and the fix were discussed, but I could not.
Maybe if readers see such a long message and think it's a '''rant''' or someone about to be '''barred from WP''' making his final statement, it'll interest them enough to read it. I'd like to think that might happen. Because its scary Out Here on the ice, alone. With only wine words and Mr. Sullivan to keep me warm.
Thanks for reading this if you did. I'll look forward to what happens now.
Waiter!
Czech please.

== Wiki the word, and other labels for the basic idea.. ==
The basic meaning of the word is lost, or has become near-lost, because of the world wide web use has become much less like that which it was in the late nineteen nineties, wherein web production was an involved process which required formatting "pages" in hypertext markup language [[HTML]]/format, using a text editor or code editor, and then deliver them to the web server machine by File Transfer [[FTP]] (using a remote file manager program). The essential meaning of "wiki" as derived is simply "fast document production" with some aspect of "collaboration" as per the elements and principles of the project. "Collaboration" being the main essence, not "quickness," "collab" or "colab" (as in co- "cooperative," and -lab "labor-ratio-ry"), suggested by myself (in.violatio.di.tyranos.)..
