According to Wikipedia, the world largest wiki site:
A Wiki ([ˈwiː.kiː] <wee-kee> or [ˈwɪ.kiː] <wick-ey>) is a type of website that allows users to add, remove, or otherwise edit and change most content very quickly and easily.
And that is it! At the Wikidot.com publishing network we offer everyone a Site (your-site-name.wikidot.com) — a customizable place in the Internet where Users can edit content, upload files, communicate and collaborate.
Why is a Wiki site different from a usual hosted site?
When using any of the Wiki systems you do not have to care about technical details (like HTML language, how to edit pages, how to create forum for your community etc.). At Wikidot.com we take care of these things. You can easily concentrate on the Content, growing your Community etc.
On every page (where you have permissions to) you can find the edit button - click it and you can edit content of the page! That is it! We provide an easy to learn syntax that our software converts into valid XHTML pages. Simply edit content, click save and your changes are published within seconds.
