Wiki module overview

The Wiki module can be accessed by clicking the

Wiki

tab in the navigation bar (although the site administrator may have renamed the module for any particular site). The Wiki module is displayed only if it has been enabled by a site administrator and if the user has permission to access the module.

The Wiki module can be used to create content directly in the browser. Besides using the browser as the tool for creating and publishing the content, what differentiates a wiki from other types of content (be it a Word document or a blog post) is that the content is typically created collaboratively, with many users contributing or editing to the wiki, which results in a living, breathing knowledge repository. The use of a browser facilitates this process, as there is no owner of the document/content, updates are published to everyone automatically and everyone has access to the content creation tool.

The Wiki module includes, among other features: versioning, commenting, tags, attachments, the ability to embed or link to content from other content areas, a parent-child tree view, advanced permissions and easy rich-text editing.
