Wiki

A wiki (IPA: /wi?ki?/, "weekee" http://c2.com/doc/etymology.html) is a web application that allows users to add content, as on an Internet forum, but also allows others (often completely unrestricted) to edit the content. The term Wiki also refers to the collaborative software used to create such a website (see Wiki software). In essence, the wiki is a vast simplification of the process of creating HTML pages, and thus is a very effective way to exchange information through collaborative effort.

Vandalism

The open philosophy of most wikis—of allowing anyone to edit content—does not ensure that editors are well-intentioned. Wiki vandalism is a constant problem for wikis, though perhaps overrated. Studies from IBM have shown that most to Wikipedia is reverted in 5 minutes or less.
