A wiki is a website on which anybody can create or change the content of
the pages at will. Typical features include a dead-easy formatting
markup requiring no HTML at all, and dead-easy page crosslinking
(usually done by SquashingWordsTogether). The better wikis have a
versioning system, so you can see what changes were made with each
revision.

If you look down at the bottom of the WikiWikiNewt's front page, you'll
find a series of links to stuff like how to make pages, how to format
pages, and so on.

   That's the problem with world domination. Nobody is willing to wait for 
   it anymore, work slowly towards it, drink more and enjoy the ride more.
