A wiki is a community effort to improve a certain answer. Just as chatting with friends gives different viewpoints, a wiki will provide pieces of answers or information to a subject. The concept is that many heads are better than one, and that a community has wisdom in all it's members. The wiki does not provide ownership, it gives a totality to an answer or question or information area that is not only one editor. Walk in the Wiki Way!
