A "wiki" is a website that allows people who use the website to edit it (or specific portions, like the answers to questions such as this website allows). It allows users to collaborate together to create content.

"Wiki-wiki" is the Hawaiian for "quick." It has come to be associated with community crowd sourcing sites on the internet that incorporate it into their names. Typically, a wiki site relies upon its members to create content and manage it. Information is posted by anyone, or by authorized members, but no one has ownership.

On a site like WikiAnswers, this is the underlying philosophy. The information here is for the common good, and for common entertainment. It is open to all who accept the few rules and guidelines of the site. We are here together for each other. Self has no place.

"WIKI" is also an acronym that means:

What - I - Know - Is ?
