Glossary Entry: Wiki
Quick Definition
A Wiki is a special kind of website where users work together to document something. These days, most video games and TV shows have a wiki of their own somewhere online, though the most famous wiki is undoubtedly Wikipedia
, a user-managed encyclopedia.
Wikis are generally trustworthy, as entering false information (known as vandalism) tends to get people banned very quickly. The more popular a wiki is, the faster malicious editing gets caught and removed.
