Wiki (/wiːkiː/) is a Hawaiian word for "fast." The original Wikis were used for defining terms in software development projects. Wikipedia is the most famous Wiki, it provides very broad and deep topic references where anyone can edit and a "neutral point of view" is enforced by vigilant editors.

Basic Wiki page editing is designed to be simple, and emphasis meaning over formatting. This enables quickly editing related hypertext text with headings, lists, tables, and so on. This Wiki uses the same software as Wikipedia, and in addition uses experimental Semantic Wikipedia extensions, mirroring http://let.sysops.be. These extensions allow finely assigning meaning to terms that both humans and computers can use, which enables reuse and querying of entered documents. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_Mediawiki for more information.
